32mb is too little.

Thanks, Freddo. I had previously tried it with 48MB and DOSBox crashed, so I thought I was giving it too much. Bumping it up to 64MB did the trick. 😀

64 = bad.
63 = good.

Why's that? Just wondering.

64 is the same as 63 in DOSBox. 😀

Should redguard use a simple, dynamic or full core?

I'm using the gulikoza doxbox with the hardware version.

Also, what is the ideal frequency for redguard. 15,000 seems to start it, but once it starts, it has to be somewhere between 30,000 and 60,000 to run smoothly.

Has anyone played with this enough to arrive at the best configuration.

Dynamic, always. You can also switch to MAX with my build and don't bother with cycle setting (CTRL-=) after Redguard has started.

I seem to recall that Redguard is a windows game, but yet it seems to work with DosBox. That's interesting.

RedGuard is a DOS game that uses a crappy Windows installer.

It was a hilarious awful idea at the time; it was a DOS game that required Windows (for the installer and a memory manager) but was also 3D. Soooo many people couldn't run it, due to various system deficiencies or the usual giant pile of bugs that came with a Bethesda game.

Groundbreaking in its own way, but they must have been on serious drugs figuring on a DOS game that required Windows.

No wonder it asked for DOS sound card during install, such as a SB16, or Awe32.
