i have this game that worked on my old computer, but now
it won't work on my new computer. The game is played in
MS-DOS. The games works just fine besides the graphics. I
can't see what's going is the only problem. I can can see
colors but it's all destorted. The game requires you to
have VESA 2.0 compatible graphic/video card. My old
computer had and Nvidia grapchic card, but my new
computer has an Intel 82845. The problem is that i don't
know if my graphic card has VESA 2.0 and i don't know how
to find out. Also when i update the driver for my card,
when i try to play the game the screen stays black
 
Hi toussaint,

When a game is a DOS game, it could work using compatibility mode:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=292533 or by using the Multiboot
bootdisk from: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~lpcd/downloads.html
and always check at fileplanet.com to see if there's a patch available,
or search at: http://www.avault.com/pcrl/patches_list.asp?letter=a :-)

With DOSBOX you can emulate a DOS computer on your XP desktop:
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/information.php Or try MS Virtual PC:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/virtualpc/downloads/trial.asp
which allows you to install DOS or to run any operating system inside XP.

If you prefer to explore other advanced methods, here are two excellent
tutorials I've found on the subject: http://www.dosgames.com/xphints.php
and http://home.earthlink.net/~angeldancer27/XpGameList.htm For sound
issues use: http://www.ece.mcgill.ca/~vromas/vdmsound Good Luck! :-)

Also look at the Vesa utilities here: http://www.opus.co.tt/dave/utils.htm

well i tried to using DOSbox but when i use is it
says "Library (built in) message: can't change video mode"
"Error mesage: You need a VESA driver to run M.U.G.E.N."
I guess I need to find a VESA driver for my Intel graphic
card or something
