And DosBox isn't of any help there, because it doesn't emulate any graphic card chip, only a VESA 2.0 default so the game crashes there also.

DOSBox is supporting VESA. The game should work. You need DOSBox .63 though and you need to correctly mount the CD drive (mount D D:\ -t cdrom).

Didn't you read above? The game detects on hardware level the chip of the graphic card, and DosBox doesn't emulate any of the older graphic cards or doesn't fool the games into believing that there is a graphic card that they search for, so the game can't detect any graphic card. It isn't an issue with the CD drive.

I put it in Dosbox but I only get as far as to seeing the intro thing of Adeline Software. After that, the game exits to Windows. What's wrong?

I have the same problem. What can i do to resolve this ? :help:

Thanks.

The only way I know of is to play it in pure Dos on older 486er or early Pentium, with one of the older 2D graphic cards. On the new-generation PC's it doesn't run at all, not even in DosBox. There might be some patch or similar for the game to run on newer PC's, but I don't know of any.

Are you sure you're installing it correctly? You put in the CD (it's mounted correctly), then you install the game (are the path names correct?)... What exactly do you do when you install it?

If you own an original CD version it will not run under XP though in most cases it should work fine with Windows 95 or 98.

The solution to playing LBA in Dosbox - with the original cd is as follows (Most of this is taken (with slight editing) from http://el-muerte.student.utwente.nl/lba/fo...read.php?t=6943):

1. After you inserted the LBA1 disc type mount d E:\ (assuming E: is your LBA1 CD) -t cdrom -label ADELINE -ioctl -usecd 0 [Enter] then mount c C:\[Enter]
Then type D: [Enter] and install [Enter]

2. Now you are inside of the LBA1 installer which is controlled by the "Up", "Down" and "Enter" keys.
Choose your language.
Choose "Hard Disk Installation"
Choose "C:"
Set the directory you wish to install to.
Choose "Music Sound Card Configuration", choose "Sound Blaster Pro 1 (OPL2)", choose "220"
Choose "FX Sound Card Configuration", choose "Sound Blaster Pro 1", choose "220", choose "7", choose "1"
Choose "Speech Configuration", choose "Keep Speech Files on Hard Disk" (there should be YES written at the end of this line now)
Choose "Save Parameters", then Quit to Dos

3. Now, outside of DOSBox, copy the folder "VOX" from the LBA1 cd to the folder which you installed LBA1 in. If you don't want to copy all VOX files, just copy the VOX files in your language from the CD VOX folder to the LBA1 installation VOX folder (for English it's all files starting with "EN_").

4. Now, in DOSBox, type:
C:[Enter]
cd\lba1[Enter]
LBA (or RELENT if you have the US version)

The game should run now!

To save effort later on:
Create a new text document (right-click->new->text document) in your lba directory.
Put the text below into the blank document:

mount d e:\(or correct drive letter) -t cdrom -label ADELINE -ioctl -usecd 0
lba(or relent)

Use save as to name the file dosboxrun.bat (or whatever you like as long as it finished .bat) then run that file in dosbox.

I have tested this quite extensively and it worked - but you need everything after the -t cdrom as I included above.

If you are having problems with LBA2 - which isn't compatible with modern graphics chips then there is a patch available from http://www.geocities.com/e_swensen/ that you may find useful - though I can't get it to work on my copy.

I mounted the CD as a CDROM in DosBox but without the additional details after -t cdrom like written above. Will try later out if it will work this time...

I don't know, how to finish this game :blink:
Im stuck in this room and can't go anywhere.
Can you help me?

Try to jump while standing at the grate. Or climb the "hills" if possible.
