Can't Get Past Menu?

Post by umadbro? »

I downloaded DOS from dosbox.com and Daggerfall from The Elder Scrolls site. I looked a a video on how to install it. I installed the game. Now when I try to play I get to the main menu but when I click on "Start New Game" nothing happens. There is no music in the menu and the other buttons "Load Saved Game" and "Exit" don't work either.

I've had good luck with the settings listed here: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/General:Playin ... der_DOSBox
Other than that try setting the dosbox cycles to around 32,000. Too high can crash it.

Glad I could help! I've used this package for a few weeks now and it runs very well. I especially like that fact that they included DOS32A - a superior extended memory extender that resolves a lot of the saved-game problems.

Now you've got the game working, hope not still umadbro? :p
