makes me miss themepark… still can’t figure how to make it work on dosbox though. i followed all the recommended settings for themepark and all.

There’s an easy way to play in native resolution without squashing or black boxes. Just change your SC4 shortcut to something like this:
“C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe\Apps\SimCity 4.exe” -CustomResolution:enabled -r1024x600x32

On my Gateway LT4004u netbook, with an Atom N2600 CPU and GMA 3600 GPU (and 2 GB of RAM), I’m forced to play using software rendering, because the graphics drivers are just awful. The bottom half of the screen is completely unusable in hardware mode.
