Re: Syndicate Wars

Originally posted by Whitewashed um, no... it crashes when trying to load a mission Well then you're down to two basic choices: 1) as I said in the first linked thread, Dual-boot. 2) Try "Unregistered"s new method in the second thread. Haven't tried this one myself. Just don't bother with that …

Re: Warcraft 1 crashes...

Originally posted by Charlii Is the speech pack included in the CD-version? I've decided to buy it now that I know it works. That way I will have my own copies of all WarCraft games... If you're talking about the original Warcraft, yes it has voice, more animation, and (if you get the Mac/PC hybrid …

Originally posted by firestorm225 Why not? *blink* It's really quite slow,... In other words, poor performance. There's also the limit of 8-bit SoundBlaster Mono vs 16-Bit Stereo with VDMSound and you don't get to specify the GS Wavetable for MIDI. No sound at all on Windows XP + very difficult …

Re: FIFA 96 and CM2

Hrrrmm... Both are DOS, both need a 486 minimum, both have SVGA/VESA screenmodes. Looks like DosBox is out... From what I've read, "CM2" is VESA-only, while FIFA96 has a VGA mode. Can't find any demos to test...will look some more. "GeForce2 MX400"...Hrrmm. History of VESA issues. Try both with no …

Originally posted by Whitewashed Yeah, I really didn't think it would work since isn't all that compatibility mode does is make the program think that you're running a different Windows version that you are? Right. Windows95 is very close to DOS, so I can kind of see how people would try it. I've …

Re: system shock slow mouse

Originally posted by Unregistered Right, I've managed to get System Shock 1 working on XP, the music doesn't work, but that doesn't bother me. Well, music should work, so that may indicate another issue at work. Try choosing "General MIDI" instead of SoundBlaster for music. Still nothing? I …

Re: carmageddon 2

Posted on 2003-08-27, 19:56

Did some digging around, came across this: UK and US versions. Carmageddon 2 has a version of SafeDisk copy-protection that requires it to be running on a Windows 9X operating system. A generic EXE unrapper called 'UnSafeDisk' can extract the real EXE from the ICD file, and this file has no issues …

Do you even bother to check the links before you post them? Seems like you are not capable or maybe unwilling of providing …

Originally posted by Whitewashed OK, I have the full retail version of X-com Apocalypse The beast returns... and am trying to run it on Windows 2000. I've got the compatibility mode activated but whenever I make a shortcut to the xcomapoc.exe it makes it a DOS-shortcut so I can't set it to Windows …

Originally posted by Kaminari Should I contact AlphaCentauris [sic] in private, or is it OK for me to speak in French with him right here? Either way... Since he's already switched to French here, you may as well do it here.

Originally posted by skyfex Do you have the amiga version? I know i shouldnt ask for it but i have looked EVERYWHERE for it.. *heh* Keep looking. One downside to the Amiga version is that the floppy version was 32-color only. The CD32 version might've been 256 colors, but that would be even harder …

Re: A problem with Larry 6

Posted on 2003-08-27, 03:30

Originally posted by Tonton Fred Yes, it was the Windows version. There is no minimalist version : a Soundblaster is required by the game to run. Ok, I kind of truncated my response there. I was talking about a "minimal" DOS version; IOW, no audio /PC-speaker audio. Maybe there is a problem with my …

Re: Death Rally & Solar Winds

Posted on 2003-08-27, 03:17

Originally posted by Unregistered I think there may be a problem with the mouse cursor not being visible, not sure. But disabling the mouse when starting Solar Winds does lock the game up in communications mode for me. Everything else seems to run fine though. Good tip, but if you just can't wait …

Re: Ultima 3

Originally posted by FeedingDragon The game says, "place a new monster." It then randomly determines a spot, and it seems to be weighted strongly towards land here. If the spot is invalid (for any reason,) it picks another spot. It does this until it finds a valid spot. If the spot is on land (99% …

Originally posted by FeedingDragon My problem was that the digital sound (not midi,) was extremely garbled. That's what I was looking on here for when I found this post Basically, nothing much has changed since the last time this was discussed . To run this one properly will either require an …

Re: Star Control 2

Originally posted by Mr_Leopard Yeah, I've given up on DOSBox. I presume you mean only for SC2, as giving up DosBox altogether is craziness. BTW, you might check and make sure your game files haven't been corrupted. Like I said before, I had been able to run SC2 smoothly in Dos Box for some time …
