K so i figure out its not the memsize thing..

But now i tried this step or example from the wiki..

Example #1

C:> mem
C:> loadfix
C:> doom
C:> mem
C:> loadfix -f
C:> mem

It lowed the memory, i think, but now it won't let me play the game. I type in playroom n playroom.exe, but it won't start. I'm so confused :confused:

Incidentally, it is (vide the readme file if you don't believe me). Try setting it to 4.

Second, Dynamic Core can cause problems with a few games. Set core=normal to change that.

Third, rather than duplicate the examples try reading the information about what do they do.
* The MEM command only displays available memory.
* Running LOADFIX with the -f argument unloads it and frees the memory you occupied with it first. Not what you want, obviously.
* Why the hell did you try running Doom when it's not in the directory?

"Just" won't start or are there any error messages?

First off, no I didn't type in doom, i typed in playhouse in the place of doom from the example. Second, when it "just" won't start, what i mean is that i try to play the game, but nothing happens.

Dosbox sets there idle, after what i do from the example. But anyhow, let me try these new settings, n see if the game will work.

Guess what...... I turned the "machine" to ega, n typed in playega,... the game flippin works. Wow, all this time lol.

All it was, is that i turned the "machine" line to ega, n type in playega, n the game works like a charm...

CASE CLOSED!!!!

The 1993 version is VGA and has much better graphics and sound. I lost the discs, and I'm missing one file:

ABC.DAT

Someone please upload the 1993 version!
