I KNOW this has been asked before, but getting an error when trying to save created chars in Gold Box type games (Playing Buck Rogers Matrix Cubed ATM, but like them all) and getting "error 3" when trying to save...

Halp!

Also, on an unrelated note, can someone post the line I need to place in my config file to make my DOSBOX config file to make it open in 800x600 please... I have tried to edit the line that is relevant, but maybe my syntax is not just perfect or something...

Make sure none of your files in your game directory are read only. Some archive and/or unarchivers are bent on flagging any files coming out of an archive as read-only. This will prevent you to save games in games which already have their save slots pre-created.

windowresolution=800x600
output=ddraw

the output=ddraw was what I was missing for sure on the windowed resolution issue! Thanks!

Still won't save for me though, here is what I've figured out:

Suprisingly it WILL let me start/play the game without DOSBOX, now when you start without DOSBOX it asks you config questions like video settings, sound, etc.. it also asks you the save path, and then it WILL let you save but when you try to start the same game in DOSBOX you still get the error "Unexpected error during save:3"...

Now I've deleted and recreated the save folder to make sure it was writable, and I have removed the archive and read only bits from all files (though they only had archive bits when I was trying to run the game/dosbox from my memory stick, I have since moved DOSBOX and the game to my HDD)...

So I can save outside of DOSBOX fine, but not in it...the save path is still in the config file of the game, but apperently DOSBOX is not using that, and while the easy answer is just running the game not in DOSBOX, that really doesn't work either as the game is running WAY too fast without DOSBOX to slow down the CPU cycles (plus it runs fullsceen and on my resolution that looks like poop).

So thats what I know so far, thanks for the help!

Try disabling dynamic core and see if it changes anything. Also, manually delete the current savegame files.

[Sturmrabe]

core=auto at the moment...

Should it be "simple" or "normal"? (that and "dynamic" or "auto" are the other choices)

EDIT: tried both simple and normal and no change
