i figured more peopel check this section so i'll get a faster response here. i followed mand's instructions and i got the game to work, but the video is relaly choppy and slow , i've tried all rendering options (low medium and high) and nothing. what else can i do?

Play under MS-DOS and everythyng will be OK.

if it was that easy dont' you think i would have done that? i'm using dosbox. i dont' have a 486 right now do play with real dos

How did you modify the UAKM files ? I would like to do all the steps myself ...

Edited by Greg

I use DOXBox to play UAKM and there is a section in DOSBox that changes the video and prossessor simulation speed, I can send these to you if your interested, or I can post them when I get home

This is how I got it to run in DOS Box with no problems...

Under a Killing Moon would not run very well in DOSBox 0.60 or 0.61, but 0.62 seems to do the trick! On some machines though, you need low level CD-ROM support enabled for DOSBox to be able to recognise labels correctly (thus the extra parameters: -usecd 0 -ioctl in the CD-ROM mount command below). That is all that has changed since the last round of instructions, so those of you who were previously having problems swapping CDs, or getting it to recognise the CD at all should give it another go! Two readers who were previously having problems in this area independently confirmed that it works

Download and install DOSBox version 0.62 (or later). Get the Win32 installer version, which at the time of writing was called: Dosbox0.62-win32-installer.exe
Wherever you installed DOSBox to, go there and edit the file dosbox.conf, replacing the section at the very bottom of the file with the following (Note: if your CD-ROM drive is letter 'E', then replace the 'D:' below with 'E:'):

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
mount D D:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0 -ioctl
mount C C:\
C:
Another note: you have to get that exactly right, so it's best just to copy and paste right out of this web page and into the dosbox.conf file using Notepad or a text editor. While you're in that file, you should also set: fullscreen=true (it's set to false by default) and cycles=13908. Note: you may have to experiment with the number of instruction cycles DOSBox emulates every millisecond, depending on the speed of your processor. I arrived at this figure by using multiples of 9272 (the setting which was recommend for DOSBox 0.60). I have a 2GHZ Pentium IV. Generally, the higher you can set this value to the better. You'll know you've set it too high though if the sound begins to stutter!
