Hi. I'm trying to install ROA but when I try to install with my current Dosbox .74 (already on my pc), it can't detect it and I have to install the dosbox in the ROA pack. The problem is I can't change any of the settings as far as I can tell. There is no config file for the dosbox in the dosbox folder, and when I play it a part of the game is cut off in full screen. So I have to change resolution down to 800 x 600 just to get it to fit on full screen. Is there any way around this? I'd just like to change some of the dosbox settings so it fits my screen better.

This sounds more like an issue with Dosbox then with the game itself. Try the general forums, more people might be able to help you there.

Yeah doesn't look like I'm going to get help for it in GD. Is there a way to simply adjust the dosbox settings that comes with the game? I don't see a config file.

Also while I'm at it. Is there, by any chance, an easy to use computer program that can map things like graph paper. Or will I have to go out and purchase graph paper. Was thinking there might be a program that does this and might be easier to use.

I can't really hellp you with all the DosBox stuff.

For the graph paper, the game has an automap, so you really don't need graph paper. ...aaand I don't know any program.

Damn, ain't I a helpful little fella ;-).

Yeah you are. I didn't realize there was an automap function. I just messed around with it a bit but since the screen was cutoff on the right edge I couldn't get a good look at all the buttons and test everything.

I really do need to read the manual for this game. I can't remember the last time I needed to do that. Someone helped with the dosbox stuff so I got that covered.
