What 486 are you running it on? I think a 66MHz 486 is the minimum for this game (and it'll probably run slowly). I used to play it on a 75MHz Pentium with 2MB S3 Trio graphics and never had any issues.

Maybe it's a hardware limitation for that particular Cirrus chip?

Did you try loading UniVBE?

It's a 66MHz 486. I do load UVConfig, and it detects the card.

It will run slow with the games minimum requirements. They recommend a Pentium class CPU along with 16MB RAM... It ran better on my old 75MHz Pentium than it did on a 100MHz 486 if that's anything to go by.

For SVGA point-and-click adventure games a 486 should do fine with enough video throughput, especially PCI. You should even be able to play Star Control 3 (*shudder*) on one of those, if you can put up with watching the pages flip.

Did you load univbe itself?

If I'm not mistaken, I load the DRV file in the Toonstruck directory via Config.sys?
I.E. Device=

Not related to config.sys.

So the game comes with univbe? What's the version? Is there a univbe.exe?

I've attached the output of uvconfig when a linear framebuffer is available. Does yours mention the LFB?

This is what I get after running UVCONFIG, which seems to be the same as univbe.exe (which doesn't exist on the disc)

Looks like it's not finishing/updating or applying VBE 2.0 as there's no confirmation. Maybe try a different version?

Where's a good spot to find a better version? Found a few older ones online.
