This game is so much better of a prequel than Mechwarrior for SNES.



The v0.65 DosBox changes that I made to get it to work are:

edit dosbox.conf (I think this is right. I did it on a different computer.) using Notepad

change the line under the [midi] section where it says
mpu401=intelligent

change to
mpu401=false


You might not get sound... But the game won't freeze (though it might look like it sometimes).

Thank you, I've been looking for this, since I couldn't rig one of those flap disks into my comp to install the original.

Ahh, good old times, running behind Battlemasters with a Locust and then blasting its legs off with my M.Gun :brain:

It was not challenging after that

change to
mpu401=none

Works great on 0.65 (so far)

I've got dosbox 7.0 and the game runs fine past the login screen but once I beat the first mission the screen go's blank and I've tryed every thing but nothing works please HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash:

I'll look into it.

+++EDIT+++

Yups, just like several people said before, disabling MPU-401 emulation in dosbox.conf fixed the problem.

I'm using dosbox .70, and disabled MPU-401, which works.

However, I can't seem to do anything pertaining to 'CREW'. When I go to the Blazing Aces screen to assign personnel to mechs, the screen just peels and bitmaps to eternity. Also, at the bar, when I try to recruit, the command prompt to hire or decline doesn't work and I am stuck.

Do u know what my problem might be?

This game bring back memories!!

Redownload the game. I'm not sure what is causing it, but I once had the very same problem on a copy that worked perfectly earlier.

Could anyone help me? I'd like to try out this game, but I have no idea how to run it. I the 'install' file in the MW folder, but DOS pops up for a second and then dissapears, and nothing happens.

Try running the game with DOSBox, downloadable from Abandonia's main page. Also: Read the DOSBox guide in the "Compatlibility" thread.

Thanks for the fast reply! But, I can't find the thread you mentioned to figure out how DOSbox works. Could you maybe give me a link to it?
