Re: The Adventures of Willy Beamish Commercial Crash (DOSBox)
bummer - its weird tho, i wonder why sometimes it works and then other times it doesnt. Its like the error is random for some reason. I can get through the video sometimes with no problem and then other times it crashes. Very odd...

Re: The Adventures of Willy Beamish Commercial Crash (DOSBox)
OK - below is the log that I ran. Note one thing - the CPU settings had to be changed to what they currently are or the game and sounds were unplayably choppy - probably because its an older computer :( -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

Re: The Adventures of Willy Beamish Commercial Crash (DOSBox)
OK so i tried it out and it seems the same problem persists. I did a fresh install - no saves, nothing from the previous version. I got to the slam dunk commercial the first time and it went through.

Re: The Adventures of Willy Beamish Commercial Crash (DOSBox)

Re: The Adventures of Willy Beamish Commercial Crash (DOSBox)
Unfortunately it seems the problem still exists even with the installer :(. It is completely random too it seems. One time I will load DOSBox and it will crash right at the beginning of the commercial and all of the colors go whacked out. Ill restart DOSBox and try it again and it'll crash at the mi...

Re: The Adventures of Willy Beamish Commercial Crash (DOSBox)
Now it gets even stranger! I rebooted DOSBox and tried again and it worked. I shut down DOSBox and restarted it again and now it crashes during the commercial again. This doesn't make any sense at all. This time the colors got all out of whack and then froze...
