It has to be "Compedia protection". Kfx/Gw (as suggested) or use Teledisk 1.26 under real dos: I have other floppies with the same protection and it worked!

Exactly, since the QuickTime used (or macromedia director, I don't remember) is not compatible with post-XP OSes, there isn't really much you can do.

The first three games of the Uncle Albert saga (original french title: Oncle Ernest) are well known PITAs in their restrict circle of aficionados. No way to use them on anything newer than XP, excluding VMs. There's a slight hope to see them supported on ScummVM soon or later (later, probably).

Anyone, other than me, with a m559 mobo or similar noticed weird behavior of the internal floppy disk controller? I have installed msdos 6.20 and two 1.44mb 3.5 floppy drives. A lot of classic floppy disk tools do not work, like teledisk, copyiipc, imagedisk... various errors like "drive not ready" …

I was recently messing with Golden Axe and an old retropc. I first tried a lame taiwanese vga card: screen stuttering and tearing in Goldenaxe and Prehistorik2 (map and game difficulty selection). I then put inside a S3 virge dx and the scrolling became fluid and the tearing disappeared. I wonder if …

Hi men, I've recently managed to get these rare animals in my collection: the first Uncle Albert trilogy by Emme / Lexis Numérique. It installs correctly but when you run game exe (chapp.exe), it does nothing. The game uses quicktime, macromedia director or something like that. A tool like OTVDM …

The game only plays intro song on old tandy hardware and if it detects an adlib card (source: game manual). But I'd like to test the cm8330 opl, is it possible to fool the game and make it play the song on such hardware?

I have a quite anonymous usb2.0 pci card and it slows down the system very much by just loading EHCI with usbaspi.sys No problemos with UHCI/OHCI modes. We are talking about Golden Axe going from skyrocket speed to laggy 286ish mess in VGA, on a p200mmx pure dos system.

Hi guys, I have old pentium era system and I successfully managed to use external usb dvd-rom player, thanx to mscdex/usbaspi/usbcd trio. However it hangs when it accesses any audio track (pure audiocd discs and mixed mode cdroms). Are these drivers made for standard data only cdroms or what?
