I am trying to run the game on the recommended (based on compatibility) version .61 of DOSBOX. After the title screen loads and I press any key the program ends. I had this problem before on newer versions and I just had to set up my inputs by using ctrl+F1. That does not seem to be an option with version .61. Does anyone have a solution? Thank you in advance, but please spell out the answer clearly as I am a computer retard.

The error given is prefs.cpp: 366

Okay, I had loaded the DOSBOX in to the wrong directory. My next question is how do I apply the patches for the game?

Thank you,

Gary

This version of DOSBox is way too old. Try the latest version (0.74) or any special build based on this version.

I did try the game on multiple versions of DOSBOX. It runs on all of them, but as soon as I simulate a game, I get an error saying it cannot read the video card palette information. How do I fix this? I don't get why it can read my video card during games but not upon their completion.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help,
