I just tried the game in DOSBox .60, .61, .63, .65 and various CVS builds. I had to re-download .60 to .61 as I no longer had them. "abyss" claims that it runs better in .60 than .65. This is an interesting claim as graphics are washed out in .60. From what I can tell (with as little time as I was willing to invest in this) the game looks and runs best in .65 with no difference in any of the CVS builds.

I'd say they're talking out of their butt

No fatal problems with the current CVS so far that I haven't had with older versions.

jup the problem this "Ryan" had with this crapy game is nothing dosbox related. on another thread he was talking about "inserting disk 2" in the middle of the game.
sounds to me like some files are missing and nothing more.

anyway, just a good example for newbies trying to help newbies...

EDIT: 🤣 now they have deleted the guest post from MiniMax. it seems they don't tolerate any criticism. 😳

I made a post there as well.
(mentioning the deleted post as well)

Thanks Qbix. I was about to register on their forum hoping that would keep a re-post visible. Now I will see what the reply will be.

What did you write? (maybe you have your posting in the cache)
Then i'll register and post a link to this thread 😉

Post subject: Did any of you bother to report the problem?

Did any of you bother to report problems with newer versions of DOSBox breaking previous behavior?

If not, please go www.vogons.org and report it, or forever STFU.

Ok, guess they didn't like the last part then 😀

new random tidbit about dosbox

Yeah I had tried that process, its just like it is in the faq. Dont know if im getting the benefit of it or not. But I edited my dosbox conf file again and put "win32" instead of "default" in the MIDI sound options and that seemed to help

As far as I know default=win32 under windows.

Anybody had similar experiences ?

Maybe he has a build with MT-32 (Munt) (and is unaware of it), as then it is possible that his default handler is "mt32". This will happen if mt32 handler is defined after win32 one in midi.cpp.
