Re: Dune II Refuses to Run on Win98SE

Okay so I think I found a solution that allows me to run both Dune II and Monster Bash without issue. By putting "Device=C:\Windows\EMM386.EXE 150 RAM" in the CONFIG.SYS and adding "EMMPageFrame=C800" under the "[386enh]" section of C:\Windows\SYSTEM.INI, both games work under the same configuration …

In the testbox on a vm I used, the autoexec and configsys are blank. The properties works. Try it. Just tried this, still the same issue. What else have you changed? Windows runs the memory. The dos window gets what windows gives it. Default windows works. I did exactly what you said, cleared out …

There isn't any upper memory available in any of the screenshots I've seen so far. It might be something that can be solved with a simple addition of RAM parameter to EMM386. DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE RAM AUTO Tried this, just causes the Dune 2 shortcut to say there isn't enough conventional …

Same thing for the other games. Change their ems properties to something close to era hardware. Windows does most of the work. You don't need autoexec/configsys settings. Think of it like you would dosbox. A baby virtual machine. The thing is, when you disable EMM386 in the Config.sys, it prevents …

Have you bothered to look at the button I said to click days ago? Set the XMS to 1mb and conventional to 600. You might need to re-run the setup to change the config That.... Somehow worked, what the fuck. I'd known about the shortcut properties stuff and tried it before to no avail, so I kind of …

I removed SBEINIT and EMM386 and it lets me run the game with OPL music and the closest I got was it saying "Dune" at the title screen (without the subtitle despite using the US version), and then no other digital sounds after that. I later found out that this was because I'd removed the SET …

I'm running a dual sound card setup with a SB Live! Value for Windows games and General MIDI (and certain DOS games like Jazz Jackrabbit and Epic Pinball) and a SB Vibra16 for DOS and FM Synth stuff. I've been setting all the sound device stuff for Dune II to Sound Blaster Pro (there's no SB16 …

I did some tests. With normal means I can run and play Dune2, with sound and music, from within Windows 98, with these conditions: - Set music to FM. Do not set it to Roland General Midi, for it will require even more base memory, and fail at startup. - As I wrote earlier I do not use EMM386 here. …

Tried it and it didn't really help, unfortunately. I can load drivers in the autoexec into high with LH right? Because that's what I did. LH is equal to LOADHIGH, so no problem there. Can you at least show me how much free conventional memory there is now, after the change? ( mem /c | more) And …

Why don't you try this: SYSTEM.INI device=c:\windows\himem.sys device=c:\windows\emm386.exe 2048 dos=high,umb deviceHigh=c:\windows\command\ansi.sys files=200 buffers=20 Note: I am not using the parameter for emm386, precisely because some games require EMS memory. Games that can take advantage of …

You can not run Himem.Sys or Emm386.exe as "Devicehigh". These are the programs that make high memory available to the system, and must be run in main. This is a decent enough guide: https://hermit.cc/it/dos/config.htm Noted. Also I found that running the "auto" parameter with EMM386 disables EMS …
