There is one problem: your progress is not saved. These are the steps you have to do in order to get your progress saved: - Play the game in DOSBox - When you want to stop, press [alt] + [enter] - Delete the (hidden) player.lst file in the Supaplex directory - Exit the game via the normal way in DOS...

I've found a solution! I downloaded the latest Dosbox (v0.65 instead of v0.63 which I had) and downloaded the extra frontend 'D-Fend v2'! (See http://members.home.nl/mabus/ With this handy utility, you can set everything, the resolution, scaling and many other graphics options. And I found out that ...

I will upload them to my site when your levelset is ready, ok? So if you won't see it appear there, you know why and that it will appear in the feature (at least, if you are one of my site visitors...)

So I need a separate disk with a FAT/FAT32 partition...

An USB stick would be nice, but does that work under DOS??

I don't understand everything you are saying... do you mean that you have created two main directories within the levels directory, which are called 'per-installation' and 'per-user'? And do both of these directories have the structure of bd-fans.com?

Honestly, I don't know. To be sincere, I recalled that I found the (original) DOS files on the web years ago, and I reported to you the first thing I've found making a search. It seemed to do the job, apparently. I should give a try to that, I'll let you know. By the way, even a WIN98SE CD should d...

Well, I've downloaded the freedos iso image and burned it on a cd. Now I can boot with this cd. But I don't want to install it and format my PC (which is required). If I choose to start freedos from the CD, it works fine, but then I can only access the A:\ drive (which has become the disc drive with...

Why don't you simply download the DOS files and make a bootable CD with them? Sounds interesting! But how can I do this exactly? And there must still be a way to store the files containing the game progress somewhere. A CD is normally readonly and if I put it on a CD RW: I don't think that DOS has ...

That's a good tip, although I've already tried it with the freeware variant of VMWare, Microsoft Virtual PC (2004). And it worked, but again, not flawless. I will try this, unless there are other good tips about how to get a good DOS environment...

Playing the good old Supaplex in Windows XP

It's not seen as a bug anymore. For Supaplex at least, it has become one of the numerous tricks.
