I've been trying to run M1 tank platoon in DOSBOX 0.71 but unfortunately it freezes hard. By disabling all sound emulation but SB1 I was able to get it to return to DOS when I start tank.com (i.e. I press enter, the machine immediately returns to prompt) but the second time I try to start tank.com the machine freezes. Any ideas?

i cant reproduce this problem. game starts up normally with all video modes, sound settings and joystick enabled/disabled. even if the files are write-protected...
i've also tryed different core/cycle and audio settings in dosbox.conf without a single crash or freeze.

maybe you have a bad or broken copy? try reinstalling it or get another version.

Could also be cycle-dependent then, so the default 3000 cycles or lower
might be a good starting value.
