Hi i own 1,2 GHz Athlon with 512 mb Ram and i have problems with running those two games under VDMS it seams that they need some kind of memory or something 😢 can any one tell me how to run those games??? i will be veary greatfoul...

PS i don't remeber much about DOS&memory stuff this was so long ago and those games can be obtained on the Underdogs or any other such site...

Okay I finally got aces pacific to work in dosbox - had to look on the web and found the magic dosboxconfig settings (cycle 1000, up / down 250, frameskip 1 mem 32, dynamic core if memory serves me right) to make it work.

Now I like to add the 1946 add on / upgrade from underdogs. No readme or notes are included. The 1946 upzips then I then copy all files unzip to aces dir. I run patch - It asks for dir of PATCH.RTP file which I cannot find anywhere. I do still have the orginal disks f/ docs for both games so I can try to run the '46 upgrade from disc. The orginal doc's I do have say tell the '46 add on where to instal to.l

Any ideas, gang?
