Cogsley | This is a good game but the one thing that bothered me was that the computer always brings its strongest extra unit it can. So if you use a small group of soldiers and attack a country with a powerful unit then retreat you get a few turns too kick their country around without worrying about their wizard/dragon. | ||

Your changes in Dosbox.conf are purely cosmetic... they don't change anything in regards to compatibility. Also, double buffering takes a whole hell of system resources... not recommended. |

hi guys, i played gemfire a lot when i was a kid. today i managed to deal with monshou.dat problem when running gemfire in order to remind myself how much fun that game was. in order to run the game under xp you have to: 1) install dosbox 2) EDIT dosbox.conf (available in start menu of dosbox) and change: fulldouble=false -----> fulldouble=true output=surface -----> output=ddraw hwscale=1.00 -----> hwscale=1.50 (only if you have monitor resolution of 1024x768 or better. For 1600x1200 or better, change 1.50 to 2.00) save the edited file. 3) open dosbox 4) mount the game (example: mount d d:\games\oldies\gemfire) 5) go to drive d: under dosbox (newly mounted gemfire directory) 6) run KOEI.exe (not open.exe, not main.exe, not anything else, but KOEI.exe) 7) koei.exe appears to run only the intro (you can enjoy watching it) but if you press some buttons just after KOEI sign appears you will get yourself up to the menu of the game. 8) i can even hear the music playing 9) ENJOY!!!

Guest | Same problem here, as well. When I copied the game files to the drive where it was looking for them, the game just crashes if I try to start it directly or with VDMSound, and locks up in Dosbox. | ||

Fun game... but once you find all the holes in the AI (kingdoms surrender easily, battle stupidity) any challenge falls away. After that, though, I had a lot of fun seeing how fast I could conquer it (under 20 terns, with any character.)... Graphics are cute, especially on the SNES version... colorful and fun. If you're looking for a better challenge try the Genghis Khan or Romance series... or for something in the same sort of setting try Celtic Tales. |

I'm adding a bump to this. Just DL'd it and it tells me the same thing. I even went to far as to burn a CD and put it into the drive in question and the Monshou.dat error MOVED to my next cd drive down the list. (I've got 4 cd drives on this thing and I'm low on burnable disks so I can't afford to keep burning extra disks to corner the damned thing into reading SOMEWHERE.) If you find a fix, please post it! |
