Patch 1.06 (retail floppy)
Patch 1.06 is the latest patch for the retail floppy version. The CD version and the freeware floppy version are already fully patched.
Run in DOSBox
- To play Arena properly under DOSBox, make the following changes to the DOSBox configuration file[1] (not needed when using ArenaSetup):
- Change
aspect=falsetoaspect=true - Change
core=autotocore=dynamic - Change
cycles=autotocycles=max
Game data
Configuration file and save game data location
- Each save is comprised of multiple
*.0*files, with the extension's number matching the slot it was saved to.[2] -
NAMES.DATstores the save file names (saves can still be loaded without it). - In-game settings are stored in each save rather than shared.
