Thanks, I added the PC specs to my signature. Would anyone be willing to share disk images if I posted proof of ownership of the originals?

Hi, I've got the VGA version of The Secret of Monkey Island on original floppy on three disks, and during install on the third disk I get: Ignored Unknown Chunk and the installer is done. I've ended up with 4 what look like disk files on the C drive, but no monkey.exe. Oddly, the instructions say …

Here are the specs: ASUS Spax motherboard (with onboard graphics) 32mb ram P100/133 At one point I had a Voodoo 3 in here, but it stopped me from booting to Win 3.11 so I took it out (story for another day, not a big deal I don't use Windows much on this PC). I put the Voodoo 3 back in, and now I …

Well this is strange, beginning to see things pointing in a certain direction, installed GK1, ran great. For interest, re-ran the install, and instead of VGA selected VESA High Resolution (640x480) with 256 colors. Then the exact same EMM386 error. Setting this back to VGA and the game ran great …

Thanks for the replies, I had found the link posted and tried STACKS=18, 256 (not 16, but will try that). There is also an option in the installer to make a bootable floppy which I've tried. This doesn't error, I just tries to start the game but I get a black screen. The PC is Pentium 100 (I think …

Yes, I get this: EMM386 has detected error #12 in an application at memory address F000:94B9. To minimize the chance of data loss, EMM386 has halted your computer.

I recently found Phantasmagoria has an MT-32 sound option so I thought I'd give it a go on my DOS machine (along with The Beast Within). I can't get either of these running under dos, I'm getting an EMM386 error. I've tried a number of configs, NOEMS, RAM at 1, 2 and 4MB. I think there is a v1.1 …

Hi All, My DOS pc has an ASUS SPAX motherboard and the bios settings seem rather limited. I was hoping to disable some caches on the Pentium CPU to slow things down a bit, but there doesn't seem to be any options for that in BIOS. I was wondering if this BIOS had a hidden or advanced section that …

Using the Sound Blaster / Adlib option for sound makes it really quiet for me too. But to get the speech, seems this is my only option...

Thanks, you were right, it was the NOEMS that was the problem. Normally games that need it (ie frontier) will complain more explicitly, the error message here threw me off, didn't think it was memory related. On another note, does anyone know if you can get the MT-32 sound AND speech? I have other …

Thanks for moving, I misunderstood the forum splits. Here's what I have in config.sys and autoexec.bat DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS DEVICE=C:\CTCM\CTCM.EXE DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS rem frontier DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM 1024 BUFFERS=15,0 REM ** FILES=30 DOS=HIGH,UMB LASTDRIVE=E FCBS=4,0 …

Ach, I knew I'd omitted a vital piece of info. It's DOS 6.22, I edited my original question to include this info.

Hi All, trying to run Beneath a Steel sky on original hardware (DOS 6.22, Pentium 100, 32MB ram, MT-32). As this game is now freeware I got one of the many ISOs available, and installed successfully. When I try to first run the game I get an error: Fatal Error Previously installed software is …

I'm having trouble getting this working. Running original hardware, MT-32, original floppy version (with the copy protection) with Interpreter Verson (sic) 5.2.02 (Nov 21 1991) I applied the patch, but still no sound effects. I recently played through with SB sounds, and sound effects were there, …
