Hopefully the video will clue you guys in on what's wrong, I can't make heads or tails of it. There anyway I can get the core to generate me an error report or some kind of ini that I may post here? The game used to work, now all of a sudden it refuses to cooperate.

Menu hides the error, so no one will be able to help you

Surely there's gotta be a way to find out what's wrong.

Here I screen grabbed this, does this picture tell of anything?

My guess, based on the message at the bottom, is it's not finding the CD/ISO. Haven't actually played this version of the game in probably 20 years (nor tried on mister), so not sure if that's correct or not.

Strange, I do not remember Duke Nukem 3D ever needing a CD, even the Atomic Edition. But either way, remember to use DOS32A to replace DOS4GW or it will probably not run into errors, other than this one. Make sure the CD is in the drive it expects it to be or try reinstalling the game.

The Atomic Edition needs the CD to be in the drive.

How strange... I coulda sworn I already placed the CD in the drive. Instead I found Descent in there facepalm

Thx guys

Also, yes I believe the game crashes without the stub extender going to DOS32A

How do we use dos32a? I'm using the Top 300 Dos pack.

Ahhh, it is probably already using it.
