Run in a window and have a CPU load monitor active. *4* Make sure you tune the cycles to work with your machine.
*3* Try out the "cpu=dynamic" for another roughly 2X speed increase. *2* Make sure you're running the newest DOSbox (of course) Any other output willl get you a 2X speed increase. You probably know these already, but they're vitally important for 3D games like this: I have mine set to about 15500 since that works with most games)ĭo not use dynamic CPU using 0.62. Once in the game you just need to get the CPU speed to a good level (using CTRL-F11 and CTRL-F12. Once in the menu the cursor mightn't be moving with the mouse. You should now be able to start it by typing FALL Z.CFG (instead of DAGGER) Next, follow the steps here to get it running without the CD:
#HOW TO PLAY DAGGERFALL ON MAC INSTALL#
To install under Windows XP you might need to use this: 900719 /fileinfo.html Did I mention slow? But I imagine a 3.0 Ghz CPU might be able to handle it. A bear to install, lots of graphic anomolies (texture warping), and even less stable than usual. This game is pretty much the upper limit of what DosBox can support right now. Then start daggerfall with fall.exe z.cfg Mount the cd with mount d d:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0 -ioctlĪssuming that d is your cdrom-drive under dosbox amd in your OS ans assuming the is is your first cd-drive and using win2k/xp Too bad dynamic core doesn't work (yet?) for this game (bad textures), for Arena, it was perfect.ĭon't get me wrong i think that dosbox is the most brilliant idea everĪs happy i am to be able to play daggerfall in dosbox wich is wery much.however when i think back to when i played it the first time on a 266mhz machine with win98 i was getting much better framerates.than im gettin with my 2.8 ghz with winXP.at times i really hate windows xp yet i cant stop using it.I miss the old days of dos :Þ When you try to set the CPU cycles, do it running around in a town: with my 1,8 GHz CPU occupation reach 100% at 10,000 cycles (DOSBOX v0.63). Played just fine, using DosBox of course, with optimization issues already discussed below.
#HOW TO PLAY DAGGERFALL ON MAC NO CD#
Used the simple no CD instructions found on The UESP. The copying of files very quickly, however. The openning animations for installations were /very/ slow I ate dinner while waiting for the splash screen to fade in and out. I was able to completely avoid using Windows, while avoiding DosBox installation issues, by installing via Wine. V.63 Pentium 2.4GHz 1GB Debian Sarge ( 12:34)

When I run the installer on Mac OS X.4 (Tiger) on a 1.67 powerbook with 128MB VRAM, dosbox crashes: "Exit to error: Illegal descriptor type 0 for int E" Thepal has it right, use the XP installer and dosbox will run fall.exe perfectly. On my 1.8ghz its not running at absolutly perfect speed, but its definatly playable.
#HOW TO PLAY DAGGERFALL ON MAC PATCH#
make sure to set your 'output' to overlay, opengl or openglnb and the core to 'normal' (dynamic is a little slow).Īlso make sure you'v updated to the latest patch as one thing this game is knowen for is its bugs. Using the latest version (0.65 as of now) dosbox can play Daggerfall at _reasonable_ speeds. Works absolutly perfectly now :) ( 13:28)
If I use higher settings, sound stutters.ĭon't use dynamic core in 0.63, because it's really buggy with DF (bad textures + crashes). The only problem with this settings are slightly choppy videos, but rest of the game is normal. I can set dosbox to 18000 cycles with 0.63, seems nearly full-speed, and only 17000 with 0.65. In fact, on my system, Daggerfall run slightly faster with dosbox v0.63. The Elder Scrolls - Daggerfall - Bethesda Softworks (1996)
