Issues fixed
- Most keyboard input is disabled in mouse mode; these steps switch to keyboard mode, allowing the game to be fully controlled with a keyboard.
- Full keyboard input is also useful if you are wanting to play with a controller (use the DOSBox Mapper to change key assignments).
Change input device[citation needed] |

Audio popping in PC speaker mode
- The Steam version already includes this fix.[4]
Use Custom DosBox[5] |

Reboot requested, quitting now
If you get the error "Reboot requested, quitting now." when starting the game, a Pentium patch is needed.
Alternatively, if running the game from DOSBox, start DOSBox with the cputype=386_prefetch
setting to circumvent the error.
