You are NOT the only person trying to get this game working! I get the same error myself. "System Timer 2 not functioning". I'm hoping that in the time since this was first posted, someone has some idea as to what this is. I'm trying to run it in WInXP, and I've run several other games in DosBox with varying degrees of success.

WingNuts is a Dos-based game, came out around 1995, and is run off a CD-Rom. It requires Dos 5.0 or better, MPC level 2 recommended (whatever that means). I'm trying to run it on XP, I've got a 900 Mhz AMD machine.

Anyone?

An AT System has 3 timers/counters:
Timer0 -> IRQ0
Timer1 -> DRAM refresh
Timer2 -> PC speaker

So it seems to have problems with the PC speaker.

it could be a register initalisation.
that has been in the past often a problem with the not 0 timers. Usually they expect it to be programmed in a certain way.

Hm. I can hear the voice when they try the "can you hear the digital voice" trial during setup. I guess my next question would be, is it possible to fix this through DosBox (I'm no wiz by any stretch of the imagination)?

Oh, and Qbix? You've made a wonderful program for those of us who remember DOS games and had some good times back then. Thank you for adding years of functional lifetime to something that much of the world considers useless ephemera.

Well I don't have the game. So can't really test it.

you might want to try a cvs build of dosbox (see development forum) or a debugger enabled build to see something odd

Dear Qbix;

All right now I have a second copy. Is there an address I can mail the game to?
