How to run PoP under an emulated CGA, Tandy and Hercules machine.

Using DosBox emulator, you can emulate your game to work under a CGA or a Tandy or Hercules machine. To do so, change your machine type under the [dosbox] tab in the dosbox.conf file. The game normally runs under the VGA graphics adapter. (Dungeon/Palace)

For CGA machine:

In dosbox.conf:

[dosbox]
machine=cga

Or start with parameter: prince.exe cga

Your levels will look like:

1. Under dungeon level type:
POP CGA machine-1

2. Under palace level type:
POP CGA machine-2

For Tandy machine:

In dosbox.conf:

[dosbox]
machine=tandy

Or start with parameter: prince.exe tga (or ega) Note that the ega and tandy modes only differ in technical details, they use the same graphics set.

Your levels will look like:

1. Under dungeon level type:
POP Tandy machine-1

2. Under palace level type:
POP Tandy machine-2

For Hercules machine (Black and White):

In dosbox.conf:

[dosbox]
machine=hercules

Or start with parameter: prince.exe herc (or hga)

Your levels will look like:

1. Under dungeon level type:
POP Hercules machine-1

2. Under palace level type:
POP Hercules machine-2
