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

I don't know

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

It turns out with an error sdl lock failed

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!

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!!!

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

If you are struggling with configuration, check out

Im using it and it works like a dream!

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

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!

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

to ascess drive C: type:

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

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.
