Plus, i was wondering if maybe I need more memory allocated in Dosbox? i dont recall how to do that though

[DarthHelmet86]

When Dosbox is in windowed mode (Alt Enter if it's full screen) it will have the cycles right at the top. I am not sure if it needs more memory, I will see if one of the all knowing ones know.

I am running at 3000 cycles

EDIT: its definitely something with voice... since I can talk to Wiglaf fine with voices off.

With voices on is what causes the game to lock when I talk to him

Speed your cycles up to 10000, ctrl F12. See if that helps, if not go up to 20000.

Hmmmm while the game is running and hitting cntl F12 doesn't seem to be changing anything... is there and way to set in in the ini?


Thanks for going the extra mile to help me get this to work!

This the Dosbox Tutorial in it you will find how to get Dosbox to start at a set cycle. Ctrl F12 does make the cycles go up, but in fullscreen you won't see anything to know that. Alt Enter to make it windowed then Ctrl F12 and you can see the cycles in the title bar of the window. Alt Enter to go back to fullscreen.

Nice thanks for the "How to use DosBox" link it was very useful..... so I went into the config... changed to

cycles=10000
cycleup=1000
cycledown=1000

But now on the opening screen.. there IS music.. butwhen I need to mouse click to choose a character.... It doesnt work! I cant choose a character at all now

For some reason I just keep hearing this "Wah wah waaaaaaaaaah" in the background :P

Any ideas?

Strangely my game is also doing this now, I have saves that work fine but I can't start a new game.......This is now annoying me. If I work it out I shall let you know, otherwise maybe one of the more knowledgeable members might have an idea.

I have gotten my game to work again. It was simply changing the Midi sound to Roland, any of the soundblaster options would not work.
