depends actually. in iso mode dosbox is certainly more then avarage. The file could be found by dosbox if the directory listing of a cdrom would go by the lowlevel cdrom functions instead of relying on the host. Yes, when mounting the BIN/CUE directly in DOSBox the file is viewd correctly (using …

Does this issue belong to the developement forum instead of to the games forum? I know it's about a specific game but more than that it's about a problem in DOSBox...

I've recently got a copy of Riana Rouge and found that the file GAFTEST\NW\B3.MOV on disc 3 shows a very weird behavior - you can't access it under WinXP! You can't run it, copy it, and even trying to look at the file's properties will not show date or size. It's not even assigned the QuickTime icon …

well it's a possible switch. But it's not likely to find additional memory in that location. In DOSBox you won't find much memory available there. Well, on a regular MS-DOS 6.22 machine the game runs flawlessly even if there are no EMM386 switches at all, so I wonder what's stopping it from running …

a switch like that isn't possible. Real system as well as dosbox have information stored in that part of memory. Well, I finally gave up on trying to run the game under DOSBox or on my Win98 machine, so I hooked up an old Pentium 1 that has a true MS-DOS 6.22 installed on it, and Synnergist ran …

well if that game really wants those areas included than it's a very stupid game. I hope something else is wrong. Try some other memory configuration of dosbox. More/less memory. xms on/off. CDROM support under booting. Well it has no priority at all for me. Booting a different version of DOS is a …

River Raid was one of my favorite games on the Atari 800XL, but unfortunately I can't get the PCjr version to run under DOSBox 0.65. All I get is a black screen, with no messages or sounds. Am I doing something wrong? I checked Pitfall II and it works perfectly, so what can be the problem?

Yes, you can use a generic driver like OAKCDROM.SYS for it, should be possible. Another option for this game and other games with similar problems would be to allow EMM386 switches in the regular mode of DOSBox.

I got my hands on a very rare DOS adventure game from the mid-90s. It's called Synnergist, and it's a very unknown old school adventure game. Now, this game requires some EMM386 tweaking. Were it a floppy game, I'd do it by mounting a hdd image under DOSBox with it's own boot and CONFIG.SYS, like I …

Try two things: use the line "DEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS D=64" in CONFIG.SYS and run the game with Frameskip=0. It does not crash for me this way.

Yes, I do have that old computer stored somewhere, although it's not really accessible right now. It has some original SB16 drivers that came with the hardware. I am planning on booting it up one of these days so I can take the drivers from it (as well as other stuff). But I do remember how I made …

Here's a direct link to downlaod the driver from Creative Labs, it's not easy to find: CLICK HERE Now, avatar_58, make sure you put the drivers in C:\SOUND\DRV and the game in C:\IUC. Then mount your entire drive C: in DOSBox (mount c c:\). It should work. Your version is ok. I even have a cd …
