Ok, good to hear from you, though - most people 'forget' their promises after their own technical problems with running a game have been solved...

None of these here, I don't think I have any special settings. Try playing around with the CPU cycles a little maybe?

Waiting for you to submit the game to the site after you've played it a again then :D

As for disk image formats and their creation, the appropriate FAQ covers that. Before you go uploading lots and lots of stuff, though, please bear in mind that the vast majority of games not on the site aren't on the site not because nobody has them, but because nobody bothered adding them - for lack of time or interest. If you want to make them publically available, great, but the way to go is to give them a review yourself.

YAY IT WOOOOOOORRRRRRKKKKKKSSSSSSS!!!!!! :D


THIS IS JUST G R E A T !!! i think i was 16 when i played it for the last time. this is thirteen years ago! if only i could remember what exactly to do, but i'll find out for sure. :)

iso images... well until now i never had to create some. i use win xp and ubuntu jaunty. i have no idea if brasero has an option. using windows i only have nero and and older version of alcohol. nero proposed me some obscure *.nrg format so i switched to alcohol. if you can provide an (non-propretary)alterative, just tell me. maybe i can provide more games that are not listed yet. ;)

So you got it working now? Great!

btw which program did you use for conversion?

mdf2iso, though if you've got the CD, you can just make an ISO image directly, can't you?

The image (after converting to regular, non-proprietary ISO-9660 format) works fine for me in Dosbox. Installs and runs without a glitch. How did you mount the CD in Dosbox? Did you use the -t cdrom switch? What about -usecd and -ioctl?

Um.... where did you upload it? I would try it out to see if I can reproduce the error, but I can't see it at the moment...
