Zombie Wars on Windows 3.1 (in DOSBox)

Posted on 2017-11-15, 02:27

Hi, It's been a while since I posted here. I'm having difficulty in getting Zombie Wars to work properly in Windows for Workgroups 3.11 on DOSBox: I cannot get the music to play properly. I'm using MPU-401 (I tried SB16 Synth, but I get the same problems). I also tried the Super Sapi driver, but it …

I've been doing this on another site for a while (to the point I earned a lifetime membership! :), and there's even a thread just like this one. ) and was wondering if the same thing is happening to this site. Unfortunately, I can't use the same method I used to search the other site, as this site …

You're welcome. I had forgotten that the CD version ran from the CD, not the hard disk (like the floppy version), and that file copying and editing was required to get it to run from the hard disk. Don't forget to copy THEME.bat to avoid your edited batch being overwritten 😀.

Adam, In my C:\Theme.cd\Data\ Directory I have no such files, in fact most of them start with "M" I did the install from the CD. The Theme.cd directory is only 2.24mb. Thanks Ah! I think I see the problem. You need to copy what's on the CD but not on the hard disk to your Theme Park directory on …

My Theme Park installation tree is as follows (not including the save directory): C:\theme.cd. | PARK.BAT | MAIN.PIF | THEME.PIF | HMIMDRV.386 | DOS4GW.EXE | HMIDET.386 | HMIDRV.386 | INTRO.EXE | MAIN.EXE | THEME.BAT | PARK.PIF | INTRO.PIF | SNDSETUP.INF | +---DATA (I think I copied some files over …

Which version of the game do you have? I have the EA Classics version.

There should be 2 files called Snds0-2.dat and Snds0-2.tab in your Theme Park data directory on your hard disk . Removing those files got the sound working for me. I got it working! :happyhappy: It had something to do with the Snds0-2.dat and Snds0-2.tab files. I have no idea what they do, but the …

If only I'd seen this thread earlier... I tried this a few months back. I posted a thread here somewhere. I tried IE3 and Netscape 4.08, both on WFW 3.11. I couldn't get IE4 or IE5 to work properly on my system 🙁.

Hi, How useful is the internet on an old PC? Are there any sites still useful on such old operating systems? Most are messed up and don't work :(. I tried Vogons on Windows 3.1, and amazingly it still renders half-okay, at least on Internet Explorer. I haven't tried logging in and actually using …

Is there anything apart from the ASP/CSP that the Sound Blaster 16 has/does that the Sound Blaster, Sound Blaster Pro, and Sound Blaster AWE64 Gold doesn't? I'm curious as to exactly what that file is and what it does. It definitely does something, hence the strange noise. Can someone who has a …

Like many games, Theme Park uses the Protected mode 'Miles' sound drivers. These are system speed tolerant. I don't understand what my system speed has to do with it. All I did was delete a file. It seems to me that file does something that interferes with the operation of the card and/or driver, …

I can get it down to 133mhz (which automatically disables L2 cache), but that slows down some other games too much. I tried the utility, but I didn't notice much (if any) slowdown. I still get that weird noise instead of sound when using the SB16 driver. I'm having to use SBPRO instead.
