when?

What, by reinstalling everything? I don't think that'll help I don't think it'll make any difference If it was a problem with the original file then why is the original file still working?
wtf
Posted on 2009-04-11, 22:16
wtf are you talking about? how has it been answered? the closest thing i got to an answer was an explanation of the mscdexnt file and related files it has nothing to do with the installation or mounting process which works for the original game it's that the games keep telling me that the cd can't …

i see you were never big on 3d realm games the first 4 levels don't come with the disk, you have to download them seperately, they even recommend downloading the shareware version on the site where you buy the game as for the add-ons, you can't buy them, they're free, you have to download them i'm …

jeez can't you read? i just said it is in my sw folder everything works out fine exept that the add ons can't read the disk i can play shadow warrior fine and all the add ons are in my shadow warrior folder so that'd be in c:\sw unfortunately every time i open one of these games it says the disk is …

whoa, it's weird i keep replying to a post and i guess someone posts before i finish the reply i'm writing to answer that question yes it should be in my sw folder like i said, the strangest thing is that i can play the game but none of the add ons and i didn't need the disk to play the first 4 …

whoops, i didn't see this reply so you think if i delete all the games and reinstall them with dosbox that'll solve the problem sorry the full path came out to be c:\sw\sw.exe or c:\sw\wanton.exe or c:\sw\lonukem\lonukem i had to install the shareware version as the disk doesn't come with the first …
Re: here's my problem
Posted on 2009-04-11, 14:57
ok so to reanswer the question with dosbox i mounted with: mount d "d:\" -t cdrom then i hit d: but since the game is already installed i mounted like this mount c c:\ then I hit c: then I hit cd sw then i hit sw.exe this works fine my wanton destruction game is in the same folder if I hit wanton. …
ok
Posted on 2009-04-11, 14:35
alright, thanks for the advice if I choose, i'll choose dosbox and i'll rewrite the steps i guess(i said i got lost after I mounted d:) one thing though deleting all the shadow warrior files is difficult since i installed the game and the shareware before i installed the game on the other hand, you …

🤣 wouldn't the game being old have something to do with how it's programmed? that's crazy they don't have emulators to solve those clock rate problems?
Re: Underclocking Pentiums?
Posted on 2009-04-11, 13:21
this is so confusing you'd underclock your cpu? that's the weirdest thing every, why wouldn't the game just run on it's regular speed? it's so old that it can only run at the speed the computer is going? crazy
oh well
Posted on 2009-04-11, 13:18
oh well i tried i can see i'm probably not going to get this answered since i see where this is going, but i posted what was asked and went through some of the steps and found out a few things and came close, if i hit from the command prompt: c:\cd i386 c:\i386\mscdexnt the command goes through, …
