Game won't save

Game won't save

[Pietari Seppänen]

I have a problem with the game Noctis 
(http://www.anywherebb.com/postline/index.php?l=5Q5ewnNgjr7i6OFdMYGhpI7iHw4&r=lYUhcug3l3hh9gr6Rtv1qlu4Dw1). 
The game is supposed to save every time I exit. However, I start at the 
same place every time. It does not remember my last game. Elite+ saved to 
a file allright. Noctis is an exploration game, so playing it is still 
possible. I can't return to the same interesting planet I found last time, 
though :(

Actually, I'm not completely sure this is dosemu's fault. I need to check 
some things. Sorry for the spam.

Okay, checked it and I still need help.  I have no idea what causes it.

Try logging with dosemu -D+D and see if you can find the DOS open file
calls that the program performs.  I think the function code is ax=0x3d

I can't find that code in the output file (I used -o).

Sorry for sending this to your private address, Ryan. I haven't used email 
for a year or two because of SPAM so I'm making silly mistakes now.

Can you post the log (gz) ?

I'm happy and embarrassed at the same time. Turns out the zip I'd used was 
faulty (I'd forgotten to include a directory) and that caused my problems. 
I didn't notice it because the game kept working otherwise. Sorry to waste 
your time.
