Oh yes that helped A LOT
It said you must use dynamic cpu core.
Ok BUT HOW THE HELL I CAN TURN IT ON!!!

BUT HOW THE HELL I CAN TURN IT ON!!!

I don't know

[Killer 11]

That config doesn't work
I will try to run tto without world editor

[Killer 11]

It turns out with an error sdl lock failed

[bobo]

you know your dos box short cut, rightclick! on the icon then click on find target, then double click on dosbox.conf and theres the configuration!

[furdude6]

I have dosbox and working fine with tt dos vers

It took me a while to understand how to use it

mount c c:\

or whatever your harddrive is

and then c:

that gets your harddrive mounted

I had reinstalled after I got it to work to have the music play

Works GREAT!!!

[bobo]

I must admit dos box is a useful utility! I can run all My dos programs on it and it is the best

Its a pleasure!

I tried DosBox - and after three years I finally was able to see my beloved 1995-savegame again!
But still, I don't know how to configure Dosbox properly. With the recommended cycles-setting of 8,000 oder 9,000 the trains don't slide, they go step-by-step. When I increase the cycles to 20,000, the trains go nearly smoothly, but the music is being interrupted, and the game crashes after a while. And how about the memory? 32MB, 16MB? XMS and EMS??
Does anyone have a well running configuration for me?
I have a Pentium4 2,5GHz computer with 512MB RAM, ATI Radeon 9600TX, Soundblaster compatible...

I lost my best savegames *cry*

DosBox.. Hmm, I think I've never been able to get the game running in it.
It would crash out immidiately

[Iegluan]

I could use a little help if anyone has any clues i'm using dosbox but everytime I try and open tto i get a message that says Unable to set up svga display. Any clues on what I need to do.

I'm trying to get TTO to even install with DOSbox... not having any luck.

I have the very original version on 3.5 floppies... if I try to install the game in dosbox, it says I specified a drive that doesn't physically exist.
If I copy the 2 floppies to my C: drive, the first disk installs fine, but it can't seem to see the second disk.
Any ideas what I can do in order to install it?
I've read the dosbox readme, didn't see any special instructions for mounting the a: drive, but I'm wondering if there's a special flag I need to use.
Thanks!

[furdude6]

Im not sure why the second floppy isnt working but if it ever works you dont mount the floppy drive you mount the c drive and then change the directory like old dos to get to the TTO directory normally its cd\mps\trans then hit enter then trans again that should start

[2006TTD]

to ascess drive C: type:

Code: Select all

mount c c:\                 then press ENTER
cd (Installed folder)      then press ENTER
tycoon                        then press ENTER


PLAY!

This is strange, it worked for me first time
all i have to do is speed it up a bit so it works at correct speed. & my procceser isnt as fast as a few others, only 1.8 GHZ

[Jezulkim]

Yes, it doesn't really need that powerful computer. It even worked on my p333, well, loading a map took ages and the game was s l o w.
