I'm new to dosbox but been working it out reasonably quickly (old enough to have used DOS a lot) but this game has me stumped.

I solved the sound not working by using the SB16 folder (contains a copy of all the exe files) - not sure if that's relevant but thought i would mention just in case.

I have been searching for problems as they arise and have gotten past a few but this one has me....

I have started the game from both the Disk (have an original copy) and a HDD copy of the CD files that i mounted in dosbox in order to replace the dos4gw file with newer ones (made no difference).

I also read that the game needed to be started from the 'main.exe' file (as opposed to 'SYND.exe') but doing so makes no difference either... I still have the same problem and i do go direct to the into but without the selection screen.

The problem is the game freezes for a moment after the into then closes with;

"Exit to Error: CPU_SetSegGeneral: Stack Segment Beyond Limits"

Have tried this with sound off, newer dos4gw (as mentioned), i have made sure the mounting is always the same (has a HDD location for saved games & config file) and i cant find a good answer to what that problem actually is so im not even 100% sure its DOSBox.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I run it from an ISO image.

Place Syndicate_Plus.iso in C:\DOS\GAMES\SYND

MOUNT C C:\DOS\GAMES\SYND -t dir -freesize 200
IMGMOUNT D C:\DOS\GAMES\SYND\Syndicate_Plus.iso -t iso
D:
CD SB16\SYNDICAT - or - CD SB16\DATADISK
MAIN.EXE
