Probably has the same issue with floppy access that a lot of other games have. If I manually build a "boot" disk like the SETUP.BAT file tries to do, it will work just fine with the BOOT command in DOSBox. Have to use DOS 3.0 or earlier, as there just isn't room on the 360 K disk the game comes on. …

OK, that allows me to bypass the problem. Still wondering what the exact problem is. BEGINS.EXE & BEGIN.EXE do the exact some thing if I play from disk, instead of copying the files onto the HDD. So, if CYGNUS.COM didn't force A: Drive, it might work as well. But the BATCH file accomplishes the same …

Cannot get it to even start now. Though I don't remember if I had it running before, or not, in DOSBox. The setup program on the disk doesn't work... I seem to recall it didn't work back when either. There's not room on the disk, and the backup batch never worked either. That being said, I got …

1. I am building a custom DOSBox. 2. Yes, I remembered (earlier today,) that I had forgotten to add the file to my project after patch created it. Been fighting with it ever since. After adding the file, I now get a large number of LNK2038 errors (Mismatched values.) I had it working before, it was …

First the steps I took: 1: unpacked the source package. 2: Ran Cmake and pointed it to Projects\munt-2.4.0\mt32emu directory as the source & Projects\mt32emu as the destination. 3: cleared the "SHARE" selection box to make a static library and hit generate 4: Opened ALL_BUILD.vcxproj with VS2013, …

I already have it installing in DOSBox. Put the fix in my first post. The small COM file probably does something that allows the installer to change the file names. My only issue now, is it won't play (regardless of how I install it.) I tried copying COMMAND.COM from Z:\ to C:\, To the Game …

OK, looking for yet another fix :( Still waiting to find the install fix, so I don't have work so hard, but for now, I just fully installed the game in another emulator, then moved the directory over for mounting in DOSBox. Only now it says "Cannot execute COMMAND.COM" when I try to run it. Gotta …

Got to another game that gives me issues during install :( It will not recognize Disk 2 in the physical drive or as an image with imgmount. The disks work fine in another emulator, and the game runs (though very poorly.) I tried copying the install directory (before running it after install,) but it …

I didn't know that... It used to be, I had to do that for it to recognize a disk change (CD or FLoppy) in a physical drive. Or so I thought. Maybe it's just images (I always make images of CD's as they are much faster.)

Thanks :) All I needed to do was mount my floppy drive as something other than A: or B: and it worked just fine. Small issue with Disk 2, but a bit of patience and a blank floppy got me past that eventually (old media.) Also remembering to use -F4 after every disk change to update the drive was all …

So, it seems to be the chipset and the card probably isn't bad. That's good to know. I've settled on a TNT2 M64 to replace the dead card. It seems to be working fine, haven't tested absolutely everything i have, of course, but haven't faced any problems yet.

The game in the picture is "Strip Poker Professional" by Artworx. The image is supposed to be a standard 640x480x8 image. At least, that's what the TNT2 produces at this point. But other games (Blood, and not the 3dfx version,) at 640x480 seem to run just fine. IIRC there were other games that had …

Only, that's booting directly to DOS 6.22 then going straight to the game. Been trying out different VESA patches (UniVBE doesn't recognize it as a supported chipset.) Keeps crashing during testing. My Riva TNT2 is also not recognized as a valid chipset (and it's actually in the supported list.) I'm …

Gosh, that does not mean that Blood uses EMS memory. I never said it did. I just said it tests it, if its there, for some reason. Trying to get my compatibility system back up and running, and if I succeed, I'll do more testing. But it definitely complained about not enough EMS when I had it …
