What is everything? Post more details.

As far as I know Lands of Lore is an MS-DOS game. Is it not?

[MOVED]

It is and it works under DOSbox. If the machine is not too modern, it might even work under VDMSound.

Under DOSBox 0.73, if it fails to run, use cputype=386_prefetch. Unfortunately, you won't be able to use the dynamic core. Apparently, the patch (V E1.23) also doesn't suffer from this. It is being investigated.

This is a funny bug in the LoL code. If CPUID appears to be available via the eflags test, then LoL wants to execute CPUID, but someone used some kind of #define instead of inline assembler, and got the bytes for the opcode in the reverse order. That causes a crash in the code.
I'll make a patch for it.

There's already an official patch that corrects this problem.

In Dosbox it works with cputype=386 too. No need to use cputype=386_prefetch

Of course cpu=386 works, because CPUID isn't supported by that CPU, so it avoids the bug.
The latest patch brings it up to v1.23. People should be installing that, since this is not the only bug that is fixed.

You may wish to run it with scummvm, it's now supported with the SVN daily builds.

Works plain fine in dosbox.

yeah it does, but can anyone help me with l.o.l 2 and l.o.l 3? I can not get them to work from an iso install, or any patches I have tried.

(what the fuck? I typed L o L without the spaces for "lands of lore" and it turned into a smiley face? what kind of world are we living in? this is me editing the smileys out of my original post)

Yeah that's weird, blame Snover I guess. If you do a full reply instead of a quick reply, you can check the "Disable Smilies in this post" option to keep it from converting to a smiley.

hey thanks, but what about directions or advice for running L o L 2 & L o L 3?

Anbody know how to run these on vista?

Someone start a new thread. This one is FUBAR.
