Re: SPACE QUEST 4 Can't Save My Game

SQ4 works fine here. Read-only doesn't matter since when you create a new savegame it creates a new file which doesn't have read-only applied (obviously). Try checking permissions on the directory and using the latest CVS.

Yeah, not much point in bothering. Those who really want to play those games in a window can use DosBox anyway.

Upgrade to 2000/XP. Sounds to me like your having OS trouble.

Hmm, try typing rescan after copying the file. Then it should show up. As for Dark Forces....whenever I use Dark Forces with dosbox I have to manually copy the DF folder off the CD to the hard drive. Also make sure you take read-only off of the files that you copy.

Odd, I decided to test some games like Wolfenstein 3D, Kens' Labyrinth and the solvbe window popped up. Checking the log it tried to map an unknown port and it also recognized vga modes. Would it be possible to get non-vesa games to work in solvbe? NTVDM is pegged at 100% throughout all games. Games …

There are many people who have been attempting to get the source code released. In fact just recently I spotted a post over at 3drealms forums (I think it was 3drealms) where they were talking about contacting the current owners of the Blood license. Of course any requests coming from just a few …

The Windows version simply means that the program is supported on 9x,NT4,2000,XP,2003. The frontend is just that. An addon which provides an interface to Dosbox commands/configurations that you would either have to type in manually or open the configuration file with notepad and edit yourself. If …

Good work! Most people don't bother searching....probably because they aren't used to searching forums. You get a gold star! 😉

Did you try the game in Windows 98 or in Dos? Try it in Dos and see if you get the same behavior.

Yep, IOCTL and ASPI tried using mount on Daggerfall and Mech2/Mercs CD's. So far only the Daggerfall CD loaded with IMGMOUNT allows me to bypass the CD error. Mech2/Mercs still are unable to locate the CD. Need to look through the rest of my CD dos games and see if I can find any more instances of …

Was testing Daggerfall and .ISO support today. Was able to load a Daggerfall .ISO with imgmount and Daggerfall actually recognized the CD! Unfortunately this method doesn't work for Mechwarrior 2/Mercs but at least we know it works for one game. So some questions are: 1. Can Mount and Imgmount be …

You've tried everything. So your only options are: "upgrade" to Windows XP. Use DosBox (your computer may be fast enough for 640X480...may not be acceptable to your tastes) Use Connectix Virtual PC. Only problem with VPC is horrible sound quality.
