ok, so I know there are other posts regarding Warlords Deluxe and whatnot, but none of them seemed to address the problem I am having.
I am running a Dell Latitude Pentium4
1.60 Ghz processor
512 Meg RAM.
Standard video sound drivers yadda yadda
Nothing out of the ordinary. Now, I have the original CD-Rom of Deluxe that I got years ago and have tried madly to oplay it. I have always got the same message (and this is key) ON INSTALLATION. It says I can't install because of insufficient EMS and not when I try to play it. Turning EMS levels up for the install program does not work either, same message.
So, I read the posts here, got the newest version of DOSbox and learned how to use it decently. Now my problem is that it seems all hte other jokers who have had troubles with it got it to install but couldn't play it. I can't install it and cannot read through the lines in the jibberish that goes on to figure it out.
My situation:
Have To date versin of DOSbox
Have Warlords Deluxe CD rom.
Tried mounting cd drive as my dos thingy and it gave me a code 8 error.
Dying to play game.
Is there something I'm missing? I would really appreciate help. I am sorry if I did not completely meet posting rituals here but I am unfamiliar and seekign help. Tell me if I need to change this post or something in order to conform. I just want to get this figured out so I can lead a happy life.
Thanks.
