First I had problems with my sound, and mouse, with this program those are fixed, however, the visuals are screwed up, whenever I run this game using DOSbox, it doesnt display properly, it is all scrunched up and doesnt show the entire thing, it overlaps if u will, i hope the screenshot i posted shows it better, anyways, does anyone know a way to fix this problem? Thanks. I am using windows XP, i even tried using alt+enter to bring full screen but it does not change anything.

It was already fixed, wait for the next CVS

This looks like the same problem I had with Orion Burger:

VESA: Display Window Control

Did you try the latest CVS version? That should help..

I was talking about getting the latest source code and then compiling DOSBOX by yourself.

This post explains one way to do it.

Download is not broken, you should choose a mirror by clicking on the appropriate download icon.

Time Warner mirror is slow to update.

Yes, it’s my fault.

You should complain to the site admin, cause the site displays an error page if you are not registered.

@ vaultraider : although I don't update as frequently as rjpa (see thread about daily CVS builds) there is a recent Windows version built from CVS available on

hope this helps,

Jurgen: I have noticed that your build is way faster than rjpa's build. rjpa's build is slower than official 0.60, while your build is faster than 0.60.

May that be cause your compile is for amd while rjpa's is for intel?
