[SOLVED config solution] Fantasy General svga_s3 error #20

Open postalesdeamor opened 2 years ago

postalesdeamor commented 2 years ago

Hi,

by default my "machine" video card configuration is: svga_s3 for all games.

The game "Fantasy General" can play as standard VESA or use UVCONFIG.EXE to select your card.

Well, using regular DOSBox you can execute UVCONFIG.EXE but the DOSBox-Optionals freezes. But It works well if you change "machine" to svga_et3000, svga_et4000 or svga_paradise.

Although you can play the game using the standard VESA and is not necessary to execute UVCONFIG.EXE, the point is which for some reason UVCONFIG.EXE doesn't work with svga_s3, when original DOSBox does.

So, I just show this possible bug, to improve the Optionals build.

Greetings :)

Hello postalesdeamor,

set CutVesaResolutionIndex  = from 0 to 32.

and core to  = dynamic

greetings

Works! Thanks a lot.

I've never played with the CutVesaResolutionIndex parameter, I'll keep it in mind from now on when some SVGA game crashes.

Thanks again.
