GOG builds are notorious for not being exactly optimized. For starters, why don't you try a newer SVN build of DOSBox instead of 0.74-3? Like the one here?

Also, when DOSBox crashes, it should leave a stderr.txt file in its folder. Can you reproduce the crash, then grab this file and upload it here?

Thank you !
I try your advices and I will know you soon

I have attached the two files, the game has crashed even with your advice.....

Here it is

I think this is a problem of the pc version of this game, it is not a problem of dosbox.

So, Is it impossible complete this game with T17 robot on Gog?

I looked at your stdout file. People with more knowledge than I might help you, but what you could try doing is:
- force DOSBox to use normal core instead of dynamic
- try turning off sound and music and see if the game is more stable

None of this might work though.

As a DOSBox alternative, you could try playing the game in 86box with FreeDOS installed, here's a brief guide to set this up.

Please, with the special character T17 robot, the game crashes after 15 matches. FIX THE PROBLEM IN DOS BOX, PLEASE!!!!!

When you unlock T17 The characters no longer get greyed out when defeated, don't know what happens after beating the game with T17?

HELP ME, PLEASE !!!!
I have bought this great game on Gog and I have Installed last Dos Box 0,74-3, I use Gog Galaxy, I have finished the game SEVERAL TIMES. At the end of the game you can choose T17 character. But after several matches the game crashes on desktop....HELP ME !!!! CORRECT THIS BUG, I WANT TO FINISH THE GAME WITH T17, THANK YOU !!!!!

Good idea to try it with dosbox the crashes are with the DOSBOX and Gog versions. I have save state files in DOSBOX-X (no savestates in DOSBOX_staging or dosbox)... The game installer (not a part of Dosbox) may set the irq wrong when installing the game. Could try and report DOSBOX install. A hassle is1. seperating GOG version of dosbox from the game and 2. learning how to install it. May have already recorded the process with obs from GOG dosbox to DOSBOX-X.

Legolas77 info gives evidence: GogDOSBOX and DOSBOX have irq's set wrong , maybe from the game's installer: irq=5
dma=1
hdma=0 worked for me. (not used, updated 8/27/2025 Dosbox-x)
The website compatability list may want to be updated to reflect this for the gog CD version of the game, if not already, don't know about the floppy installer for the game floppy version.

Update 8/29/2025: now having additional problems. People could use virtual machines for save states and use the standard dosbox build instead of DOSBOX-X as the control group to test? The problem I had later was sound effects not working eventually, may try to locate an instruction manual. Also found out later, the -1 value disables an irq. Hopefully the game flushes memory correctly, may try rebooting pc. updated text formating. some of the System Requirements:VGA Card, 4MB RAM, MSDOS 3 or higher, IBM 386/486 Compatable Systems.
