Guest | Hi all, I stumbled upon your great site (I'm a nostalgic introvert) while searching for a PC version of "The Chaos Engine". I used to play the original game on my Amiga 500 but after time got the better of it I stuck to WinUAE. Lost all my emus/roms after my HDD crashed recently; talking about making no backup, silly me. So I downloaded CE from your site and while the game runs smooth there's no sound. I'm using a Pentium III and Windows XP. Any help is greatly appreciated. |

Guest | Thanks a lot for the fast reply! I had Dosbox already on my PC, I use it to play my old Crusader games, but didn't think about it before. Sound works with Dosbox, but when I want to change to full screen my TFT monitor says "Input Not Supported". I googled around a little and saw a few threaads from people who experienced the same problem when playing older games in Dos mode. But no hint if there is a solution. Can you help me out again Wandrell? Thanks. |

Guest | I just found out the solution. I'll post it here, could be useful if others encounter the same problem. In the dosbox.conf file I changed the following settings: fullresolution=1024x768 (or whatever your resolution is) fullfixed=true output=overlay According to advice from Dosbox admin one should always add the "fullfixed=true" when using a TFT monitor. The other two changes are optional but recommended for higher compatibility. Thanks again for your advice Wandrell. |
