Hi,
I do have the original old Version of Wing Commander 3.
So not the one from the Kilrathi Saga.

I can run it in DosBox, but it is awfully slow.

I tried running it directly from my Windows XP system using a variety of different Settings.

Finally i got it to work with good enough performance using VDMS.
But here is the catch:
Everythink seems to work.
Any keycommand is accepted and it happens what is supposed to happen, except the arrow keys.
And because the arrow keys are used to fly your spacecraft, it is kind of unplayable that way.

Perhaps anyone could lend me an idea on what to do?

Thx!

There is a windows patch out there for WC3, no music though unless you get the converted mucic file. The patch isn't in english but you can use altavista to translate and it works none the less. It works in XP, as I have it and have played it all the way through. It has several errors though, unless you have the music... not sure why exactly. Sorry I can't tell you exactly where to get it, although I uploaded the patch and music, email me if you want the links.
