Remember to disable MPU-401 emulation before running Mechwarrior - the game doesn't like it.

This game ruulz.

By far the best Mechwarrior game ever created: Combat, tactics, trading and storyline...

Hint:
Mech trading is the way to fortune: Buy from industrial core worlds, sell to outback worlds.

Hint 2:
Anything with PPCs. <_<

Only three mechs in the game have PPCs: Marauder, Warhammer and Battlemaster. Marauder doesn't really count, since its' cooling system is completely inadequate. Warhammer is a bit better, but still has a tendency to overheat, and Battlemaster... well, let's just say the big fella is named quite appropriately.

Hey guys, I hate to say it but I'm a dunce when it comes to computers and getting stuff to work. I probably put my knowledge on a scale from 1-10 at about a 2. I can't seem to get Mechwarrior to work on DosBox v0.72. I get the game to start, and i get to the mission stage, however when i complete the mission, everything goes black and i have a blinking underscore at the top left. My computer doesn't crash, and i can get out the program just fine by 'X-ing' the top right, however i can't get the game to work beyond that point. I tried following what the reviewer put as far inputing the commands @ dosbox.conf, and it had absolutely no effect. I even went so far as to download the old v0.61, but i can't even get the program to work, let alone try mechwarrior on it. Would anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this problem? I've played Wolfenstein3D on it and it works just fine. so i don't think it's DosBox, just the game. It's an awesome game and it brings back a lot of memories from when i was younger. I'm also going to try Battletech1. the very first game Battletech came out with (i believe). I didn't quite care for the second one, but the first and third one was great.

Oh man, thanks! :amused: I've just started playing MW1 and have been experiencing a lot of problems. I was starting to worry I'd never be able to play it.
