hi,

I tried running dosbox on windows xp and i'm still having problems with the graphics. It's fine in the beginning but the problem occurs when i start playing the game....can anyone help me?

p.s. I LOVE star control 2

When you start playing the game, what happens there? Is the music / sound still there? Or it's more like the game hangs up?
Also try to experiment with the output-option in Dosbox.conf. It changes the graphics encoding and can be found at the very beginning of the file.

add /g:bios to sc2

Why don't you use windows port? The remake I mean

:help:
No idea how old this thread is but nm ;-)
Im having the same problem.
Sound works nicely but the graphics gets all screwed up.
It always bugs right away when I try to watch the intro movie.
I usualy get good graphics when I skip the intro and go straight to the "name the star" thingy.
It stays good untill I meet the ur-quan then its fubared again.
Can almost seem like it goes down to 16 colors or something.
Its close to impossible to read the dialague.
And yes I have tried to start the game with the /g:bios command.
And the reason I dont use the remake is that I didnt know it existed and I cant find it.

any help will be mutch appriciated ;-)

regards

Try this version instead.

The intro and outro isn't included though. You have to wait for version 0.4 before that's implemented. It should be finished real soon.

tbp-

Check out this thread in this same forum "Dosbox Graphics Issues, Palette switches in various games". I had similar issues in some other games, and BeefOnTheBone suggested minimizing and reexpanding the DOSBox window (I alt-tabbed out and back in) to regain the palette focus, and that worked great!!

Hope this helps!

Wow thanks for the mod link. I'm already into playing the original for a week or two but this looks worth the restart.

Hell! Voice is worth it alone.
