Your 98SE CD is probably not bootable. You need to use a 98SE bootable floppy. I installed Virtual PC last weekend, and followed the instructions in the link below. Find where it says, "if you can't boot Windows 98 from CD," and it will provide a workaround to this problem: http://www.metzomagic. …

I realize I can't expect much from windows 3.11 from in dosbox, but if anyone can shed some light on my issue I'll be happy. :happyhappy: I realize this is a very old thread, but I wanted to get the word out that this game now runs great in Windows 3.1 in DOSBox; I installed it this morning, and …

I received the same folder that red_avatar did (presumably from the same helpful source). :) I am experiencing the same results. The introduction runs promisingly and all seems well, but once you get into the actual game, movement is terribly slow. I just tried dynamic core and unfortunately it …

Count me in on being interested in this. I have Atlantis the Lost Tales which says it is the Windows 95 native version, but a look at the files on CD1 includes a batch file named dosinst. I then downloaded a patch for the game from Patches Scrolls that, when unzipped into an Atlantis directory I …
Druid Daemons of the Mind in DOSBox
Posted on 2008-05-28, 04:38
Hello everyone, Has anyone managed to get this game to successfully run in DOSBox off the CD without running it from a CUE/BIN or ISO? The game installs fine in DOSBox for me, all seems well, the game starts up, but then I am subjected to what looks like a demo of the game that just continues in an …
Re: Detritus sound setup problem

Marian -- I had the same problem. As I recall, I copied the files from the SETUP folder on the disc (actually, from the virtual disc in DAEMON Tools) and pasted them into the installation folder. After that, the game could find setd.exe, setm.exe, etc., as well as the sound drivers. Didn't make the …

Send in the Marines! (; I'm completely disgusted that these sellers are still on eBay. There are a lot of them out there. I got taken in by them too, red_avatar. And the "portion donated to charity" is really convenient, isn't it? A way to try to make someone look like a bad guy if they protest. …
Re: Detritus sound setup problem
Posted on 2007-08-01, 03:29
The other strange thing was that during the actual install, a screen came up and disappeared as quickly as it came, saying "sound installation." No options, no chance to do anything, almost like the screen flashing and then on to the rest of the install. Then, at the end of the install, it said to …

You are absolutely correct in thinking that sounded wrong, MiniMax; the run word "sound" for changing the sound setup is a batch file.
Detritus sound setup problem
Posted on 2007-07-31, 00:49
Hello everyone, I just installed this obscure game from 1996 called Detritus by Myndgaemz. I'm running DOSBox 0.70. The game installation went fine but did not give me any sound setup options during installation. After having determined that the game did not detect my sound settings automatically ( …
Re: Discworld Noir Xp

There's no hard and fast answer to your question; I know some people who have managed to get through the whole game on XP, and others who weren't able to. Some folks have had success with 95/98 compatibility mode. There are places in the game where it tends to crash. I don't think the SafeDisc copy …

Heh. I was just thinking about this last night, as I am definitely the "odd man out" (or, to put it more accurately, the "odd woman out") on this forum. :wink: I have a huge computer game collection and I'd say about one fourth to one third of them are DOS games. I spent quite a bit of time lurking …
Re: very amazing

DOSBox is incredible, and it just keeps on getting better. And whenever I install a game that has a pretty high expanded memory requirement, I reflect on the irony that it's generally easier to get these games running than it was when I installed them in the original OS. Cigars all around, along …

Are you running the game in Windows XP? If so, this game has mucho problems with faster processors. Even though the game will run for a while and seem to be okay (your mileage will vary), everyone I know has experienced crashes like these. And, did you try to run the game in 98/ME compatibility mode …
