No, the crash is *before*. I was only able to get to the configuration screen by using DOSBOX-x. The configuration screen itself uses mode 13 (320x200) VGA which is very poorly thought out, since the very VGA driver which is used to produce this configuration screen seems buggy / incompatible somehow.

Just to see what I mean, download a Game maker game, any one. Type the name of the game .exe, followed by configure

Ex: for Raiden 2, type "raiden2 configure" to see what this 'configuration' screen looks like.

It would have been so much better if the configuration screen was in the standard 9x16 DOS text font!
