Ok, update: Since the windows version crapped on on the sound card selection (and wouldn't let you go forward installing without it), I created the sound card selection in dosbox, copied that file to the virtualpc, and was able to get the game to install. I then copied the files from virtualpc back …
Emergency Room
Posted on 2012-07-13, 15:26
Todays challenge is getting Emergency Room installed and running. When using the dos installer, the program hangs at the cd-rom speed test. I have attempted: lowering the cycles (down to 500) mounting the physical cd drive rather than an image (of note - I never even hear the drive spin up) There …
Re: How do I bypass the CD Speed test in Emergency Room installer?
Posted on 2012-07-13, 12:37
That solution is barely worded in english, and also does not work. Simply copying the files from the cd over to the install directory and running them gives a "setup file error". I have tried slowing the cycles down to as low as 500. I have also tried directly mounting my physical cd-rom and …

This fix doesn't work so well a few years down the line when 64 bit OS's are common place. I'd like to find a solution to this that doesn't require an ancient copy of windows.

I had an img of the disk but I never bothered with it as mounting it just shows complete garbage. However, mounting it and using this extracted runtime file allowed the game to run fine. Thanks guys.

The fact I never actually get a logcpu.txt dump makes it difficult to really analyze it, however what I do get is: BIOS: Disk 0 not active INT10:Set Video Mode 0 INT10:Set Video Mode 0 VGA:Blinking 32 Reboot Requested, quitting now. Seems somewhat similar to an error you had previously in your …
Facemaker - Reboot Requested

Good day everyone. I am trying to get a very old title by the name of FaceMaker by Spinnaker software running. On launch I get the error, 'Reboot Requested, Quitting Now" Searching this error it seems that it is calling something, not finding it, and causing the system to restart. Here is what I …

Ok, I'll give that a go tomorrow. If that fails, would you be willing to send me a copy of your conf file to look over?
Re: Eye of the Storm - Screen Jumping

Ok, so my copy of EOS is on a cd with a few other Prism games. The root of the cd just has a go.exe file, which then appears to try and play the game directly off the cd. Manually switching to the d:\prism\eye folder reveals an install.bat file which will create c:\eos and copy the game files to it …
Fleet Defender Gold - Sound
Posted on 2012-07-10, 19:39
In mounting my Fleet Defender Gold CD, I found that all the install files were for windows. However, there is a folder titled F14GOLD on the disc, and I found that by copying it to my harddrive I can launch the game just fine. The one problem is there is no sound and the setup files all claim to be …

I had the set sound right - just typed it backwards here. I guess the intro movie and menus have no sound? I get sound during gameplay, but not before.
Re: Eye of the Storm - Screen Jumping
Posted on 2012-07-10, 18:38
switching it to svga_paradise fixed it! Thanks as usual. Glad you mentioned the sound situation, however I am having trouble with it. I have the "sound set=c:\eyestorm" variable defined, and I placed a CT-VOICE.DRV in a folder called DRV. I also launched it using the SVN version. I hear a pop as …

Upon launching Eye of the Storm (tried 0.74 and latest svn) the opening cinematics begin to jump every other frame. Frame 1 will be centered perfectly Frame 2 jumps to the left Frame 3 centers perfectly Frame 4 jumps the the left The machine type is set to svga_s3, however I have also tried vga_only …
CyberStrike - MPS Install Utility
Posted on 2012-07-03, 15:55
The old Microprose install utility often has issues detecting the amount of freespace on a target drive. In this case I have the original install floppy for cyberstrike. When mounted and the install is run I have gotten it to detect necessary hardware components and proper amounts of xms. However …
Re: Darklight Conflict, intro crash - "setstreamspeed"

ya, I've got .74. Mistake on my part. The SVN build plays the video just fine. Excellent. Thanks for that suggestion.
Re: Darklight Conflict, intro crash - "setstreamspeed"
Posted on 2012-07-02, 15:21
A 'dir' command from within dosbox of the d:\front\tgv\ reveals all three files with what appear to be correct file sizes. The intro.tgv file lists at 14,914,236 bytes. And no, I had not tried a plain build. I was using the last stable release, 0.73. I will give the one at emucr a shot.
Re: Help Configuring "The 7th Guest" To Not Need Discs In DOSBox
Posted on 2012-07-02, 12:58
Unfortunately I am late to the party, but I was going to mention that the ScummVM interpreter plays 7th guest perfectly well and just requires the data files copied off the discs. I then ripped the audio files to flac and put them in the same directory and you then have full audio. Specifically, …
