Lovin' the dosbox

[menace]

Well i've had a slow february with all the snow so I decided to delve into dosbox on my window7 machine--I must say, once I got it setup I'm really digging it!  The game at the moment is Privateer--one of my all time favourite dos games--once I figured out the credit cheat I could dive right into the missions with decent weapons/ship etc.

Next up--star wars dark forces...

edit credit cheat (for posterity)-- to create credits, open up the .sav file in a hex editor and look for a text string CCARGI followed by dots or random letter--your credit balance is in there somewhere (depends on where you are in the game).  so if you have 12,000 credits this is 2E E0.  it will be written as E0 2E.  if you have 300,000 (04 93 E0) you'll see E0 93 04..pick a number, convert it to hex, reverse it and bingo, you're a thousand-are!
