Fallout 1 to work on msdos

Efriim

@shavecat
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

@Efriim
So i added to the system in the fallout.cfg

still loading screen then exit

mitu

@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.

@mitu
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.

Efriim

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

Efriim

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

@Efriim
U right was 64 , now i change it to 32.
Im still getting like a white screen after loading then quit.

Shame that is so slow if u saying :\

Efriim

@shavecat
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.

shavecat

@Efriim
Fallout 1.1 patch (official)
i am seeing the splashscreen loading screen for fallout its even chagne everytime i start it again.
then after loading white screen and exit back to dos (emulator).
/maybe another patch ?

Efriim

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

shavecat

@Efriim
lr-dosbox no.
Trying it with that now.. now its really really slow the loading fallout screen looks stuck...and quit :\

Efriim

@shavecat
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
