        Have you set the
        memsize = 32 in the roms/pc/fallout.conf

        art_cache_size=8, in the roms/pc/FALLOUT1/INTRPLAY/FALLOUT/fallout.cfg?

        I think they have to be under their class identifier
        [dosbox] and [system]

            @shavecat Remove the exit at the end of the autoexec section so you can see the actual error.
            And please, try to use text when posting instead of images - it makes it impossible to copy/paste configurations. If you're using Putty, it's enough to select the lines you want copied and they're automatically copied to the clipboard.

              Thanks , i dont really see the error problem (with the AUTOTEXE) .
              but i loaded it direct with the Fallout.exe file.
              and will try not images no more.
              thanks again.

                memsize=32 does go in the dosbox.conf, sorry to confuse them. They look similar, I don't type very well.

                  It is really slow too so don't be too disappointed. It is a great game though, you should play it on your computer.

                      64 would work, I can't say what isn't working. Usually if it closes after loading. Is it going back to dos? Are you seeing a fallout splashscreen?

                      Are you using the Fallout.exe with DOS32A patched, or the regular one from patch 1.2 or 1.1 with DOS4GW? Either would work, but I patched the other one with dos32a myself, so maybe it is just weird.

                          Nah that patch will work.
                          Are you using lr-dosbox?

                              Yeah lr-dosbox loads configuration a little differently, like the cycles will be at default 1000, and I don't ever use it to understand it.

                              Well heres my autoexec from Fallout.conf, it's nothing special, and it obviously isn't finalized.

                              [autoexec]
                              # Lines in this section will be run at startup.
                              # You can put your MOUNT lines here.
                              @echo off
                              mount c "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc"
                              #mount c "/home/pi/RetroPie/memorycard/dos"
                              #set PATH=%PATH%;C:\bin;C:\setedit\bin;C:\bin\HXRT\BIN
                              c:
                              cd Fallout

                                  @shavecat said in Fallout 1 to work on msdos:

                                  Just load the FALLOUT.EXE .

                                  What did you try before - and it was not working ?
