coolmanbritt: I was able to get death wish working on my 64 bit system by droping the .bat file on dosbox, but when I attempt full screen, it slows to a crawl. What do I do to speed it up? Or do I have to run it in windowed mode?
When you drop a bat file onto DOSBox.exe, it will just launch with DOSBox default settings, which is something akin to a 486 with 8MB RAM. Blood takes a little more than that to run well.
Go into your Blood installation folder and look for the file dosboxBlood_single.conf. Copy it and rename the copy dosboxBlood_DW.conf
Edit dosboxBlood_DW.conf with notepad and replace the line
Blood.exe with
DW.bat. Note DW.bat should be in the same directory as Blood.exe
Now, if you know where it is, copy your Blood shortcut to your desktop or someplace handy, rename it DeathWish, and then right-click & select Properties. In the "Target:" filed, there is a long string of text. Move along the text until you see dosboxBlood_single.conf, replace this with dosboxBlood_DW.conf
The full Target string should look something like this: C:\Games\Blood\DOSBOX\DOSBox.exe -conf "C:\Games\Blood\dosboxBlood.conf" -conf "C:\Games\Blood\dosboxBlood_DW.conf" -noconsole -c exit
Also, if you are still running the version of DOSBox that GoG packaged with Blood, you might consider running one of the SVN builds, like
. Stixmaster [url=http://www.gog.com/forum/blood_series/make_blood_run_1280x1024_resolution_smooth_did_you_know/page1]posted a how-to a few builds back. Just a warning though, the latest ykhwong build has a DOSBox_x64.exe, but that runs really slow. Just use the plain 32bit DOSbox.exe
