I have a problem running this game in Dosbox. When I run prince.exe, screen becomes full of 'stars' (* <- those stars) and then it crashes, closing my dosbox.

Also, if I run it in Win XP, it has no sound and then it freezes when it comes to game menu.

Any ideas?

[dosraider]

Input ems=false @the dosbox prompt before running the game.

Or create a game specific dosboxconf with EMS=FALSE.
(Read the dosbox readme)

Or write a start.bat to run the game with

ems=false
prince

Works also fine

You can use the BAT file from this archive to switch EMS/XMS/UMB settings without leaving DOSBox. Just unpack it into your C: mount and enter memory to run it.

[_r.u.s.s.]

i think typing "ems=false" is nothing harder than downloading new archive and running a bat file

[The Fifth Horseman]

Sure, but this little batch file makes it a little more newbie-friendly.

In order that they stay newbs forever? You should assign them to write on the blackboard a hundred times: ems=false <- closest to a teacher

Give a man food, and he will beg his whole life.
Learn a man how to harvest his own food and he will never have to beg again.


Learn a newbie how to use dosbox and he will never have to ask again.

Do you don't want to discriminate the other foods, or is there really this variant besides the fishy one? ... Oh, I got it, you are a vegetarian, am I right?

Thanks guys. It worked (of course).

Btw, is there any sound in the game, cause I have none?

[dosraider]

Run setsound
You'll get some choices screens.

First one :Music card, choose C(MPU401)
Second one: Sound card, choose A( soundblaster)
Last one: MPU adress, choose D (330)

Run your game now and enjoy music and sound.
