What a f*cking d*mned bitch to get it to install/run in dosbox !!!
For those who want to try:
To install the game in dosbox you'll need to grab command.com from MsDos 6 and put it in your dosbox virtual C: root.
Then the installer works. Go figure *sigh*.
And then the sh*t hits the fan when you will attempt to run that b*tch in dosbox.
That's how far I am now:
Opening movie works fine:
I can look around and do some useless things in the crypt:
Can take the stairs and leave the crypt towards the town:
And here things ALWAYS go wrong:
Game crash, whatever I try or do don't do : crash.
Ah well, it doesn't likes dosbox's mem management, on the other hand it runs flawless on a real MsDos 6.22 compy and in VPC-MsDos 6.22.
Can't have it all.
BTW, got that far in dosbox with memsize=1 and SB type 1.
If it's OK for the staff I could upload a 'ready to run in custom dosbox' folder on a hosting service, maybe someone would get some idea how to run this b*tch in dosbox, some exotic mem setting mayhaps...?
Folder size (dosbox + CD image included + game installed) is approx a 45 MB.
Fact is the game isn't bad at all, as the ISO is only 20+ MB, and the game runs on real hardware it raises the question if the ISO should be in the ISO cellar or on the main site.
Meaning, on AB do you only host games that run in dosbox or do you also want to put games up that only run in real MsDos for download?
Before someone asks, tried also in every dosbox version from the first ones, same result, or even worse.
Ohne Mitleid -> you have a PM.
[Edit]
Now that I think about it, need to try run that b*tchy game in some newer and older CVS'es, ya never know.
Will do when I have some free time ..........
