heres a screenshot

I assume it does not work natively under XP?
Which dosbox version are you using?

Hmmm. You are using DOSBox. So it's really a ms-dos game.

[Moving to DOSBox Games/Apps.]

hello, well it runs in windows 95, and i guess in 98 too, so its not that old.

im using dosbox 0.63, if anyone has gotten it to work just perfect, please email me the dosbox.conf file or something ive tried alot of different settings but nothing seems to change the blue stuff 🙁 i love that game and it sucks that its not working on this system.

im using radeon 9700 with the latest catalyst drivers by the way

thanks for any help

Genewars has the file DOS4GW.EXE in its subdir that it uses, i dont know if this has something to do with the problems? ive seen the file mentioned in different guides. was thinking genewars used 16bit dpmi or something like that?

if i try to just run the program under windows xp, i get this message:

[16 bit MS-Dos subsystem]
d:\games\genewars\gw.exe
c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt. the system file is not suitable for running MS-Dos and microsoft windows applications. choose close to terminate the application

Genewars runs fine under DOSBOX for me - try the different patches that add more VESA support.

> im using dosbox 0.63

Try some cvs build, see the development forum where to get one.

anything special you change in the config file?

im using the cvs build from http://ykhwong.x-y.net
it certainly speeds up the game and all but still, the blue stuff is everywhere and ive tried to change stuff in the conf file, but to no effect. what should i try to change?

scalers?
shaders?
output?

I think output may work - I always use Direct3D. Gives better performance too.

im using htat now, ive tried so much but nothign changes the graphics

Open your advanced ATI settings and make sure the Direct3D settings are all at their defaults (Antialiasing and Anisotropic Filtering should especially be set to "Application Controlled").

it seems to have been fixed now 😀 thanks for the help, now it just stutters alot 🙁
