Double Dragon - How to get it to work?

Post by RonSijm »

Hi,

I found my old computer on the basement when we were cleaning it..

(really old, ///Laster, 8MB RAM - Turbo button for 12, And i think about 200 MB HD (yea, i had a big one for all my games))

Now, i saw a game on it i played like every day when i was 6 or something, so i wanned to copy it to my own computer... The game is called Double Dragon
Image

its something like this, but difrent...


When i open the game, you will get a opening screen that looks like this:
Double Dragon


0: 4 color CGA
1: Tandy 1000
2: EGA 16 colors

but on every option i just get a black screen for about 2 sec. and that it closes


anyone know how to make it work?



BTW, dont post a other working version, couse that will be the wrong version; i already tryed 3 NES roms, and 1 GBA rom, but that where all difrent versions of the 1 i have...

will, instead of just pressing F11 of something to make the game slower, i have to edit the dosbox.conf file, and set it to the correct speed...
