The Fifth Horseman Hmm. Try MPU-401 emulation set to UART. Some other games had crash issues with the default too.
Another thing is double-checking that your soundcard emulation and the settings used by the game match precisely.
SOME games are highly sensitive to their speed - lower the cycles to the lowest value on which the game runs at a perceptibly "normal" speed.

Wow I cant belive I never saw this response. Sorry!!

I tried that too unfortunately still the same issue. Random crashes

ab50721 Here's another thing to make it even more confusing!

After about 10 failed attempts, I restarted DosBOX and tried on the 11th time and it worked. I tried it a few times because I thought I had fixed it, and it worked twice more. I closed DosBOX and restarted it again, and it was back to not working...

any ideas?

The Adventures of Willy Beamish Commercial Crash (DOSBOX)

Hello,

Hope everyone is doing well! I was just wondering if anyone has possibly run into the following issue with this game. I have searched in many places and cant seem to find anything to help fix the problem.

I am running the game (CD version) in DOSBOX version 0.74 and whenever I get to the part where the Slam Dunk Cola commercial is shown, the game freezes. Interestingly enough, it never freezes in the same spot of the commercial either - it varies each time I try to run it through, but ultimately it will freeze at one point or another. Does anyone possibly know of a way to fix this?

Thanks for your help!!!
