Dosbox 0.74 and SVN from last week tried.

Using standard cong file. Have tried disabling ems/xms/umb

The game supports either pcjr/tandy or cga graphics. If the conf is set to pcjr or tandy, I hear music but see no intro screen. If I use cga, I can see the intro screen.

If I hit the fire button to start the game on pcjr/tandy (w/ pcjr selected as machine type) I receive the error

result=20
You must have the original disk on drive A: to execute this program!

I have mounted my game files to a separate folder as a floppy A:

Using the cga machine type it simple exits back to the dos prompt with no error message.

Using the debug version of dosbox I see it saying disk 0 not active, very similar to the situation with Under Fire in which ripsaw wrote a small TSR that bypassed the issue.

I attempted to use that TSR here, however it did not solve the problem.

Thanks for any help.

There is some problem with PCjr, but it works OK with machine=tandy if you select video option 2 in the setup program.

Similar to FaceMaker, mounting any floppy image as A: seems to make the game happy.
