anybody succeded in playing pirates gold? the one i got from here doesn't start at all. the screen displays some computer numbers like ax = xxx or something like that.. i'll try to bring the detail tomorrow or maybe better i'll try to capture it so that it'll be more specific..

and i thought i'd be able to play pirates gold soon..

fyi, i used the newest dosbox.. ver 0.61 right? so weird i tell ya.. :?

The newest version of DosBox is version 0.62

You need this version in order to play it.

it works fine with 0.61
be sure to start piratesg.exe

Also don't choose Soundblaster 16 for sound /musik, choose Sounblaster Pro (not sure if older or newer) for sound and General Midi for music.

thanks.. i'll try it again and maybe it'll work.. else, i'll go back here again..

wish me luck

hm.. seems like dosbox 0.62 hasn't fully released yet.. anybody know where to find it? wish i could go back home and try pirates gold now.. :?

[Tom Henrik]

There is no version 0.62 of DosBox.
I made a mistake. 0.61 should be able to play Pirates! Gold. The only one I know that has an improved version of DosBox BEYOND 0.61 is Ieremiou.


I really am sorry I messed up.

[eric10051981]

the game actually worked!!

but :? the graphic are kinda messy. not to mention the menu disappearing when i hover my mouse above them and the game abit sluggish.. aw.. sucks..

i used dosbox 0.61 ith frameskip 0 and cycle 5500.. not enough?? and i can't find [IPX] section in dosbox.conf.. any suggestion guys?

The game runs fine in dosbox and in regular dos for me.
Try running it without dosbox, it might work for you too.

[eric10051981]

run the game without dosbox? you mean running the game from windows? well, i tried it before and it didn't work for me.. i forgot the error message..

i am using windows XP with Athlon 2600.. dunno what went wrong there..
