No dosbox wouldnt run this game, coz i remember back in 1999 on my windows95 pentium 1 system, if i tried to play this game through dos it always said that this program requires MS WINDOWS. and so is happening with the dosbox. I know the fix to this game. a bit lenghty not that much, but could take nearly 5 mins... Anyone interested ???

It runs in dosbox/W3.x
Same goes for dosbox0.74/W3.x

How can we run it on the dosbox? any suggestions? thanks

dosbox

Advisable is:
Get the CD image
Allow VfW (video for windows) to install in dosbox/W3.X
All works fine, intro/outro movies, sounds/music, news, etcetera etcetera... blah blah blah.

Yeah sure Евгений, whatever and whatnot, except it's a windows game....

Not irritating you my friend. i mean i am really asking. now as i have installed win3.11 on dosbox and did also the sound blaster. problem is with the vga. currently running at ET4000 640x480 16 colors. cant run holiday island. black screen with some german error in it. and i got the cd image although its in german. i also have fixed this version of the game which other sites are providing like 5 Megabytes of zipped holiday island. you know what i mean. but i wanted to run it in dosbox and on win3.11 and also love to install windows 95 on the dosbox and then trying the holiday island game on it.....So what's the solution for my vga currently in dosbox for win3.11...thanks....

Run setup again from the dosprompt ( windows dir) and select:

Of course you will need the S3 drivers from that vogon link.

That or 1024x768.... what you want.

i am tryin lately but no response. always windows cannot support this mode. or at some other drivers win3.11 hangs...oh yes.....the links arent working at the vogon site by the way......tell me in detail if there's some more tweaking inside the configuration file of the dosbox.......

You change the setup options in dos? NOT whilst in Win3, W3 never liked that, even in the ol'days.
Also read the 'troubleshooting' section in the Vogon topic, it's described what to do if you run into problems as you have now.

Dosbox 0.74 is running on the default conf file, only added the automount for my w3 virtual drive and path settings under [autoexec]
(I don't use the same virtual C for Dosgames and W3)
To load the win3 conf I created a new dosbox shortcut, duplicated the dosbox conf to win.conf and pointed dosbox to the according Win3 conf file.
Something like this:
D:\Dosbox\DOSBox-0.74\DOSBox.exe -conf d:\dosbox\dosbox-0.74\win.conf

You will find the S3 drivers in the second post of that vogon topic (Dosfreak's post), I used 'S3 Trio/64 v1.41B5 (S3 Vision 64 or Vision864) ' from gulikoza, link works fine.

It supports this mode with the right drivers.
