Thanks for your message, but you are a bit vague about the problem.

Could you describe it in detail?
What version of DOSBox are you using?

I´m using DOS BOX 0.73 the new one 😉 and the words is making a error on the game. See the image that is my answer.

Try making a config first then fiddle with the machine= setting inside it.

From the linked site:

I've heard (very seldom) people complaining about the game not showing up correctly. This is due to a problem with the graphics card on your machine. The game requires your card to be 100% compatible with some specification (don't ask me what now!) and if your video card is not, it might lead to problems. No need to worry though, I can count the cases on my one hand, so you should be fine. Any other problems, just mail me and we'll sort it out.

I'm guessing DOSBox is replicating the mentioned issue. I would follow lightmaster's advice and mess with the machine= setting.

You didn't try the make config option do you? =) learn how to do that reading the readme, then edit it and retry.

What? I think you're confused. We're suggesting tinkering the with machine=whatever setting in DOSBox's configuration file, dosbox.conf.

The comment on write mode 3 in vga_memory.cpp states that the host data should be rotated, but it's not being done.
Adding the rotate (copied from mode 0) appears to fix the corrupted text in the game:

   case 0x03:
// Write Mode 3: In this mode, the data in the Set/Reset field is used as if the Enable Set/Reset
field were set to 1111b. Then the host data is first rotated as per the Rotate Count field, then
logical ANDed with the value of the Bit Mask field. The resulting value is used on the data obtained
from the Set/Reset field in the same way that the Bit Mask field would ordinarily be used. to select
which bits come from the expansion of the Set/Reset field and which come from the latch register.
Finally, only the bit planes enabled by the Memory Plane Write Enable field are written to memory.

+ val=((val >> vga.config.data_rotate) | (val << (8-vga.config.data_rotate)));
full=RasterOp(vga.config.full_set_reset,ExpandTable[val] & vga.config.full_bit_mask);
break;

It's a code bug, no point in changing settings.

lrescola: DOSBox 0.73 won't work with this game. A future release or development version may do at some point.
