Release DosBox EX - Ultimate

[commander-beef]

Hey CB

I'm playing Spycraft the great game (wich plays perfectly ) But when i start the game in dosbox you can see that he auto mounts 01 + 02.iso but not 03.iso.

Is that a problem or will he auto mount 03.iso also?

New version will mount up to 4 CD/Images now

Unlock code works now in this new version.  Thanks!

Love all the extra goodies the unlocked version offers. 

Recommend unlocked version to all DosBox fanatics

Works great, but I have a few improvements:

- replace "file_id.diz" for the option to open a PDF-File, old games often have copyprotection, so you have to enter color-specific codes or something else (remember monkey island)

- the preview-pic is great, but i would like to use the front-cover instead???

- how can i see the front/back-cover??

 

[commander-beef]

put front.jpg / back.jpg in game directory

cheers

New feature:

- Automounting HDD as a CD if directory 'VIRTUAL' found in game dir [with content]. Handy for CD-Rips, like heaven's dawn CD or HOMM 1

For now you can put 2 screenshots from PDF [with codes] as a front/back JPG

Trying to get Stonekeep to run but it says I need FILES=15, any hints?

 

[commander-beef]

uff, my original cd rom ripped to iso works flawless and without problems [of course without files=20].

btw. Maybe try to add line in 01.bat SET FILES=20 /im not sure will it work in dosbox/

I wonder how this would play this:

I'll start with... this is the GOG version.  So I can only imagine what modifications they made to get it to work for windows XP/7/8.  That said, the exact same program works under Dosbox with DboxFE. 

Regardless, it's asking for the change to be in config.sys... and having done a bit more research it seems like this might be a compile time option for Dosbox... I'll poke at this a bit more.  I had just been curious to see how much better this worked under your version since so many other games are *much* better in Experimental Mode.

Thanks for the reply.  I'll probably look into this a bit more before giving up for the time being... and if I find a .conf/.bat solution I'll post it here.

no, no FILES=15 is a internal MSDOS command [and it should work since SET BLASTER and SET TEMP works ], not a function of DOSBOX itself like "set cycles=1000".

Weird... well it doesn't work... it might be a property of the modifications that good old games made to the executable.  I'll give it another hour or so before I give up on their binary

Try to DL iso from somewhere. If you have GOG version and You paid for it, it shouldnt be issue with copyright..

I dont ever tried it but from the faq of the game:

Q: What engine does the game use?


A: Adventure Game Studio, AGS for short.

So better to use the already available AGS port that we have http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=ags
