Scratched CD? Try to make an image (BIN/CUE, NRG whatever), to see if there are some real read errors.

I don't think so, the cd looks alright.

I tried installing it in a native windows xp dos box, and it got past the SPRITES.PL thing, but when I tried to skip past the intro, it locked up.

Any help?

I am still saying you should give the CRC check a shot. Who knows if the installer doesn't even have a CRC copy routine. Maybe it's copying corrupted files.

Ok, I tried the bin/cue thing, same thing. freezes during install.

How would i do a CRC check?

Try the following:

Set core: Dynamic
Cycles: Value:10.000

If you have succesfully created a bin/cue image, it's moderately safe to assume there are no read errors (CRC errors) on the CD.

Try what tsampikos said.

Try also with core=normal

and also invoking loadfix before launching the game.

Game installation in DOSBox for 'Hell' takes quite a while, but it gets there. Set core to dynamic and up the cycles manually until your CPU is maxed out (on my machine around 30.000 cycles) should get the game installed in a couple of minutes.

Ok, I'll try the Cycles thing. Now that I think of it, that really might help.

I had a similar problem with "Stonekeep", a medieval cinematic adventure for DOS. I was trying to install the game, but when it got to the point where it gets to the flashing message saying "Verifying Copied Files", it seemed to take forever.

I will try what was said in this forum.

If this doesn't work, I'll post with the results.

Thanks.

Hi guys,

I have problems with this game too. I installed it in Windows. When I try to open it in dosbox, I get some kind of setupscreen where I can choose the soundcard etc...
When I press 'Save & exit', I can't seem to start the game.

I installed it in Windows.

Install in in dosbox then.
