I've got a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.4.10. I've been using DOSBox 0.6.3 (I know, ancient) to run Zeliard. I noticed that DOSBox was up at 0.7.2 and now supports protected mode so I downloaded it and tried it out. The protected mode thing seems to be working. However Zeliard is now broken.
The symptom is:
- press enter to open the status screen
- sound stutters and then stops
- game stops responding
- DOSBox isn't chewing CPU and closes normally when I close the window
- DOSBox responds to alt+enter to switch from fullscreen to windowed
I've attached a copy of my savegame in case that makes a difference. Following a particular set of steps gives 100% reproduction in all 0.7.x versions of DOSBox but I'm pretty sure any normal playing of the game will also trigger the problem. It might be a bit hard to describe the steps... if you know the game, just try to get through the level and you'll probably do the same things I did.
I tried 0.6.5 and it does not have the problem. I notice that 0.6.5 is the last version tested for Zeliard (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/comp_list.php?s … ID=747&letter=Z).
Easy workaround for now it to use 0.6 to play Zeliard so not a critical bug but a regression nontheless.
