I'm looking for older versions of DOSBox--0.61 and 0.63, specificly. I'm trying to run the original MechWarrior game, which crashes in 0.65; according to the list on the DOSBox site, those two versions will work with it. I know the old versions are available from the downloads page as source code, but I'm not sufficiently savy do anything with that. Alternatively, if someone knows a way to make 0.65 run MechWarrior, I'd be all for that, as well. Thanks for your help.

That page is links to the source files; unless I'm misunderstanding, that means they're not runable as-is, but require compilling (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong).

The problem that 0.65 has with Mechwarrior is fairly specific--it can't end battles. It chashes instead. Everything else works fine.

Anyhow, thanks for the link. I'll try posting over in teh specific games area, and see if there's already a solution to my problem.

Ahh, thank you then. I hadn't realized that was what they were doing. Although it should have been obvious...
