Hey there. I've been using DOSBox for a while since patch 66 I believe. I just received Genewars in the mail the other day and reinstalled it because my other Genewars files show irregular artifacts in all the textures in-game and was hoping this new CD to work. Right now, it won't run even though I have installed it. There is also a few patches from this site that I could use but have not gotten to work yet: http://genewars.lubie.org/html/gwedit_patches.php

For any of you Genewars fans out there have any kind of clue why it won't work with DOSBox on my PC? Using the latest version 74. I want to run this baby again, especially with sound again if possible. Narration was a huge issue in the past.

The address to my fansite changed over the years, so the link is now:

Also, I did some work on re-creating source code of Genewars. It's unlikely that I will ever rewrite the game completely - I remember it fondly, but not enough to spend years on it. Anyway, here it is:

I organized the source code as-close-as-possible to the organization of original sources from Bullfrog, at least from what we know about these original sources - from debug info and other hints left in their various games.
All the structs and classes have their look taken from beta version of the game.
