As far as I'm aware, Wing Commander Privateer should work fine with the latest version of DOSBox without any tweaking. After mounting the CD drive and my classic games folder, it installs and runs without any error messages whatsoever. Without knowing what kind of problems you're running into, the best I can do is point you to (
http://www.wcnews.com/techsupport.shtml#p1) WCNews' Tech Support page.
My problem is that I'm a poor university student who is still making due with a 950Mhz PC that's far too slow to run the game at full speed with sound in DOSBox. That's why I ended up fixing up an old hand-me-down Pentium 133Mhz that was stored away in the basement with parts from the local computer shop's "bone yard." After dual-booting with two flavors of DOS, fixing my virus problem, and replacing the ALSound 100 ISA with a SoundBlaster 16 WavEffects ISA; I was good to go. :thumb:
EDIT: I'm still missing Wing Commander IV and V from my collection. :(

When I try to run it in DOSbox it gives me the same kind of JEMM errors that it gave me when I tried to run it on my 486 fourteen years ago.
I'll try again though. =p

I think he's talking about selling the rights to grant a license, or whatever the equivalent legalese is.
Which is also obviously not what the GOG-[Publisher] relationship is going to be. The publisher's are still going to be the primary license holders, they're just allowing GOG to sub-license and distribute the games, in exchange for a percentage of the income (and probably some larger initial investment on GOG's part, so in the event the whole thing goes tits up the publisher's are still making SOME money). That's just common business sense, of which Koki obviously has none.

Not his first time. I remember when he blasted CD Projekt for the Witcher Special Edition. His logic was that coming out with an improved version of your previous product was a bad marketing move because you were saying, effectively, that your previous version was not worth buying.
:weird:

If that doesn't work out for you, you can PM me and I'll see what I can think of.

The scientists that live on Scots Base over in Antarctica likely got that email as well.

Ah yes, I should have realised that everybody following this thread signed up for the beta and nobody else could possibly give a shit and I've wasted everybody's valuable time!
