The option would be to try with older dosbox version like 0.65. you can have multiple version installed if you wish Oh and the link ikenstein gave also has open GL version. BTW dont' expect too good sounds form original as well. |

but otherwise cool graphics and physics. also i am thinking of giving this glFFE a try. it seems good. only thing is does that shareware version get locked after 30 days? i remember playing the Elite 2 and then there was a cop that asked me for a code. since i didn't have it i got kicked out of the game. lame... EDIT: No, single core has same problem... :-( |

well like i wrote above i tried and you are right it doesn't seem to work. i can't figure out why. i will try it on single core to see if that has anything to do with it. but it definatelly worked in older versions as someone tested it for me back them when i didnt' use dosbox yet. if you like privateer there is a remake available with cool new graphics here: http://wcuniverse.sourceforge.net/ |

I'm not totally green when it comes to dosbox but I am no expert either. So while I know how to change the .config file and things I do not know what corrections to make, if you understand my meaning. There are only two games I haven't been able to tweak to get them to work in dosbox, FFE and privateer both similar games and its a disapointment. |

Ok I start it up and get the text and the y or n choice. I press yes and I get the title sequence (the first time I played i did not crash right away when I pressed Y I still got the title sequence) and then the credits with the ship flying around planets when I press esc to skip the sequence it skips back to the title sequence. When I hit esc a second time it crashes. THis happens in windowed mode and full screen. My resolution in windows is 1280 x 1024. The windows verson is using java and it sounds bad and the graphics are not really as crisp. So I prefer to run it in Dos / Dosbox. |
