Issues fixed
Not enough disk space free
- DOSBox reports an amount of free disk space that overflows a 16-bit value used in the saving routine. May also happen on systems with increments of 64MB of free space.
- Installing on a drive or disk image with 512-byte clusters will also cause the issue.
Modify with hex editor[1]
|
- Open
Simfarm.exe with a hex editor.
- Browse to file offset
44479h (279673 in decimal)
- Change
0B D2 to EB 2B
Notes
- Applies to the Dos version.
- May have unintended side-effects, if there's less than 150 KiB of free space remaining.
- Exercise caution when modifying executable files.

DOSBox-X: Mount with -freespace[2]
|
- When mounting the folder or drive containing the game, add the
-freepsace parameter to the mount command.
- Example:
mount <path-to-game> -freespace 63
Notes
- Increments of 64 cause the issue. Default value is 1920.
