Im speechless. Just got both Crusader games to work.

Must be the new version of DOSbox or I am just becoming more proficient in old game usage on new systems but this has always been the HOLY GRAIL for me.

Like I said, speechless and overcome with joy!

Awesome dude!!!

Is this the Crusader No Remorse and No Regret games?

I had a heck of a time controlling those with the keyboard. I got so frustrated I never finished either one.

You are the DOS GAMING MAN!!!!

CTRL F12 to set CPU cycles to 10000. Works for me on an AMD +1400 with only a bit of stutter. Deffinately playable. The only problems im having are gameplay related, just need practice.

Now if I can get sound on Ultima Underworld and MOO under win98 my life will be complete.

Yes. No, not for these 2 games anyway. All I did was load em up into DOSbox after making a bat file for one of em. Now Space Crusade I will accept accolades for. Spent most of a weekend on that one.
