Hiya,

I've been trying to get Leisure Suit Larry 5 to run under DOSBox (both 0.58 and 0.61) with no luck.

It's the MS-DOS 5.25" VGA version.

The game installs fine enough and setting up the preferences for sound, graphics and pointing devices is no problem.

When I try to start the game I get a big white arrow (game cursor?) and after a few seconds a white label with the "Resource type mismatch".

The RESOURCE.CFG looks like follows:

videoDrv = VGA320.DRV
soundDrv = MTBLAST.DRV 220
joyDrv = NO
kbdDrv = IBMKBD.DRV
mouseDrv = STDMOUSE.DRV
memoryDrv = ARM.DRV
minHunk = 240k
language = 1

This is the VGA-only version, so the only two video drivers available are VGA320.DRV and VGA320BW.DRV, the latter being for Greyscale 256 color VGA. I suspect it has got to do with the graphics driver in some way.

Im on a P4-1800mhz, ASUS Geforce 3 64mb, system.

Are there any known issues with this game and version?

Any input at all is greatly valued.

Thanks in advance,
Jens

You mean uninstall det game completely and try over? Or just the RESOURCE.CFG?

Ive tried to remove the CFG, but that didnt do much.

Re-installing could be an option I guess.

Thanks for the heads up!
