You might want to check out the official DosBox FAQ, and particularly this part of it. It is quite helpful for users unfamiliar with DosBox

I wonder if it would be possible to give this game a forum of its own on Abandonia, instead of a thread?

Seeing as there's more posts in this one megathread than on two other Abandonia forums...

Sir, your request is highly irregular!

And I like it. :P

I managed to get the Dos version to run on Dos Box... But I have not figured out how to get the sound to work. What settings do I need in the set up to get things working?

Wow, this has to be the biggest thread I have ever seen on any forum alive! I found this game installed on my old desktop (still attempting a download on my laptop with little success) and I booted up one of my old saves.

I was playing for a few hours until I made it to an alien base. A bunch of lousy Floaters. I'm planning on nabbing a commander. Anyways, I had 10 Power Suited soldiers with Heavy Plasma just decimating these guys left and right, I think I only lost two soldiers, and one of them to bleeding out (I didn't know he was wounded till he died). I get to the command centre, with about five guys waiting below the grav lift, when the Floater Commander kills himself with a freakin Blaster Launcher! I see a rocket go around the room and blow the entire damn thing to smithereens, killing my chance at nabbing a Commander. All I really get out of it was some Alien Entertainment and some E-115.

Right. it seems to be crashing allot on XP.

What are the pro's when it comes to running it on dosbox? As i recall, dosbox interface is rather user-unfriendly. then again, i hear a new version is out.

Pro's: I always had the impression the Dos version was more stable than the Windows one (though crashes could still occur) + Dosbox causes the game to run at normal speed.

You could always download D-Fend (google for it) which is an extremely user-friendly front-end to Dosbox.

Edit is not a part of DOSBox and TextEdit in OS X isn't seeing any text in UFOCD.BAT at all. How did you edit the batch file?[/b]

Change the extension to TXT, edit it and then change back to BAT.

What settings do I need in the set up to get things working?[/b]

Sound Blaster 16, IRQ 7, DMA 1, Adress 220.

As i recall, dosbox interface is rather user-unfriendly.[/b]

Install Norton Commander on it and it becomes surprisingly user-friendly.
