To dive a bit deeper, in that specific scenario having cycles=auto is not producing expected result given (most) installation executables do run in real-mode. Games impacted: Blood, Conquest of the new World, Redneck Rampage, Redneck Rampage Rides Again, etc. You can do so either by changing the cycles= parameter from the global config file ( nf) to cycles=max or straight from the DOS C:\> prompt before launching INSTALL.EXE (or the installation executable specific to your game) by typing: C:\>cycles max more than 30mn) to install or for a patch to apply then you'll have to crank the cycles count up to the max value.
When you have weird or unexpected results with a game it might be wise to assign the following value: core = normalĪnother option to check is the core type set in your config file. Keep an eye to the DOS/32A compatibility list.
If that's the case simply revert back to the DOS/4GW extender packaged with the game. Screamer 2) there's a chance you're relying on the DOS/32A extender. Should your games suffer from choppy FMVs, crashes, freezes, messy colors, distorted sound or even make your keyboard unresponsive (eg. The below work great with Another World/Out of this World. For instance, try with those settings instead of the usual Sound Blaster 16 defaults. Other options to check for are the ones related to the sound card configuration. cycles = 15000 for Alone in the Dark will allow the game to properly run).įeel free to have a look at some config file examples. Meaning you have to manually set a fixed amount of cycles in the.
When this happens the game will play too slow/fast. It works most of the time but there are cases where it fails. Games impacted: Network Q RAC Rally Championship, Mortal Kombat Trilogyīy default DOSBox Staging will try to "guess" how many cycles your application does require thanks to the cycles = auto parameter under section of nf. There's no real fix yet a workaround is to just kill DOSBox (by pressing CTRL+F9) before launching the sound setup directly at the DOS prompt.

Search for the following string: CauseWay DOS Extender v3.14 Copyright 1992-96 Michael Devore. You can try finding reference to that buggy CauseWay extender simply by opening the sound setup program (ie. Should your game installation stop/crash while entering the sound setup it's likely due to a buggy DOS extender, namely CauseWay. You need to install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio ( vc_redist.圆4.exe). Reinstalling the program may fix this problem. If you cannot run the 64-bit builds of DOSBox Staging and got the following error message: The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not found.
