supaplex running troubles

lidz · Post by **lidz** » Fri Nov 19, 2004 9:31 pm

hey, i just downloaded and unzipped Supaplex on dosgamesonline.com, and i'm having troubles installing it... when i want to run "install.exe" it says that i can't use this in ms dos or windows... is it because it's an old game, i guess?

please help me, i want to play again this game i used to play all day long!

PS: sorry if my message appears twice, i don't know how to edit and i made a mistake.. sorry

You can play supaplex in Xp of course you can!!

http://dosbox.sourceforge.net - x86 emulator which is quite simple to use now.

I will fix the other board

huuuuuh... so, what do i have to do? download "DOSBox version: 0.60" ? (i went in games index-->supaplex)

ok
well
Dosbox works like this
mount c c:\[game location here]
Its probably best to put the game into c:\ on your computer as in c:\supa.

Before you do this open dosbox.conf

look for CPU CYCLES=XXX (X represents speed)
change to 10000
and then enter dosbox again

alright... i can't open dosbox.conf ... i says i don't have the program for it...

i guess i should forget supaplex =(

Good to hear you can play it now, Supaplex is a very good game

@Wally: I thought you could also use DosBox without doing this:

look for CPU CYCLES=XXX (X represents speed)
change to 10000

Why does it needs to be changed to 10000?

Most games run better emulated at 10000 cycles.

95% of my games were tested and worked on 10000 cycles (including Skunny Karts, Supaplex)

They work great!

Hmz... I always press CTRL + F12 for that, or is that something else?

Post by **Wally** » Wed Dec 01, 2004 4:31 pm

thats the same but to save time you set the cycles change the dosbox.conf file
