just tried it and had the same thing. probably something with dosbox, since abandonia also mentioned about the missing text:
http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/26660/Turrican+II+-+The+Final+Fight.html

Just use that version and standard dosbox, works fine.

So you reckon the problem is that I just picked the two games that do shit like that? That's funny.

>>3621452

Try,

>ems off
>xms on

That didn't work, sadly. I'm thinking Halloween Harry is just a lost cause. Any setting I mess with just causes it to crash. Best case scenario, I get the messed up graphics I mentioned in the OP.

Oh well.

Try,

>set t2dir=c:\turrican

or whatever the directory is located.

Also try running the setup programs.

>setup.exe

>When I try to play Turrican 2, the options screen is mostly blank text boxes and when I start the game it's mostly glitchy bullshit.

Choose the third (blank) option to configure the sound card, then chose the last (blank) option to start the game.

I'll just post this here since I need help too. Dosbox isn't recognizing my controllers right. I've tried three different controllers and every single one of them drifts up and to the right in every game I've tried. It's fucking frustrating.

Yeah, I tried switching my joystick type to fcs, changing "timed" to false, resetting my map file and just about everything else. I'm at a fucking loss.

I'm trying to use a Buffalo SNES gamepad as a gravis stand-in. I also tried it with an Xbone and PS4 pad and both did the weird drifting shit too.

Play T2 on amiga.

I tried all of that, none of it worked.

I've been trying the buffalo pad on other things and it works completely fine. DOSBox is the only thing fucking up here and i've tried everything google has to offer. nothing.

This dude again, nvm I finally fixed it

I just needed to delete the mapper file, which was hidden away in some folder where it should not have been

i feel like a dipshit

Try turning on double buffering in dosbox's config file. And increase/decrease the cycles until you get the speed right.

HH shouldn't have any problems with the latest 0.73 version of Dosbox. You're sure you're not trying to run dosbox in Rapeberry Pee???

Tried the shareware version of Halloween Harry in Dosbox 0.73, using a toaster Atom CPU, 2GB RAM. I didn't use default settings though, but that shouldn't matter much unless you config something wierd like "machine=tandy".

Turrican II doesn't emulate well in DosBox, especially since it does weird things with tweaked VGA modes and a custom memory management engine. Win95's MS DOS mode runs it like a treat though, so maybe try it out in PCem.

I'm using 7.4. Should I not be?
