DosBox Troubleshooting: Pharaoh's Tomb.
-
This is a throwback to my childhood.
Found a freeware version that Apogee gave out in 2009.
It works great in DosBox on my laptop.
It doesn't seem to run at all on Retropie.
Every time I try to run it takes me back to the menu screen.
Last night I decided to try opening it from DosBox directly (on retropie).
It instead gave me "runtime error 200...."Upon further inspection of this error it seems that it has to do with the speed of the game itself based on the platform the game was made on. My question is...how (if at all) can I patch this in order for it to run on the pi through dosbox?
At first I thought the game wouldn't work because the pi would be too fast.
Now I'm thinking it's the opposite. My 2011 macbook can run it just fine.Any advice ?! Has anyone come across this before?
They made a sequel "Arctic Adventure". That too does not run.
Keep in mind all my other Dos games run fine on the Pi (i.e. Jazz Jackrabbit / ZZT / Prehistoric)
