Ask if you run into more problems :D

Another problem I ran into:

When I try to use pda, when a new message came it, it shows me using it for a sec, and that's it. I never actually see the message.

it's a game like doom. don't need much to think about just walk arround flip all the switches, save often and kill & destroy everything in sight. :ph34r:

No video?

I can't see any special videos in this game, just the regular game play graphics. By that, I mean the opening video or any cutscene or any communications do not display properly. To me, this was a major highlight of the game. Is this just something Dosbox users are stuck with or is it my setup?

Usually movies are removed to save space and to speed up downloads, unless they are vital to the game.

Thanks, but I have the original game on CD. That's why I kinda know what I'm missing.

Doesn't look like my problem is a widespread problem because I don't see any other related post... just curious, what settings are others using with Dosbox? (I have a 3 GHz pc - Hewitt Packard, 512 MB ram, NVIDIA 5200 graphics card... but no idea what to set Dosbox to so that I can see these cutscenes)

i think you should select lowres movies or so.

YES! Thanks a ton, Data. I forgot that Install.exe was also a setup program and changed the 16-bit color option. And here I was like a dumbass changing every D-Fend and Nvidia option I could and finding out how many ways I could screw up my PC.

Now I have that problem when he keeps spinning in circles and I have to shut down, but nevertheless, it's progress!

So let me get this straight: No Regret does or does not have movies. If so, why won't they run in a native DOS environment? I'm not talking about the crappy imitation DOS of 2000 forward, but the DOS of Windows 95.

[color=red][b][font=Arial][size=7]I have a problem with the game running like a snail. it works but its cut up and laggy. any ideas as to how to make dosbox speed it up to how it should be on a normal w98 comp. we used to have one and it ran fine but now with xp i have to use dosbox and its like im playing the game on a 486. any ideas? :unsure:
