I'm contemplating running the DOS version. I know you can use DosBox, and I know you can record DosBox itself. As far as I know, the only change to gameplay on the VGA version is the ability to exit the game.

I've also seen people save and quit to the main menu on some games (Dark Souls, for example), but I don't think I've ever seen anyone completely exit the game. Would this be allowed? If the VGA patch is a no go, so long as I would be recording, and the clock is running, could I exit DosBox and rerun the game? Obviously I want to do this to manipulate the moons, which on startup are always both new, allowing quick harvesting of Mandrake and Nightshade.

Also, would there be rules on what cycles are allowed, or can I use the most optimal ones? Setting those too low would make some parts of the game quite a bit slower, but too fast can also be really annoying with the winds.
