So I've been poking around multiple sources looking for a way to making the 3DFX version of TES Redguard to work on my win7 64-bit. So far I've made what I'd call progress but no way in actually getting it running. This is still a learning process for me so excuse any symptoms of ignorance if I might display.

-Installed redguard to my secondary hard drive "D:\Games\PC\TESIIA - Redguard"

-Got Ykhwong's DosBox build and placed it alongside the Redguard files in the above directory.

-Deleted glide2x.dll (as advised by a couple of posts)

-Installed nGlide

-Ran 'setsound.exe' through dosbox and set Sound Blaster 16 for both with automatic values

-Extracted ISO to be mounted directly via dosbox, apparently this avoids further sound issues/stuttering.

-Created dosbox.bat

cmd.exe /c start /affinity 1 dosbox.exe

in main directory. Apparently this build of dosbox has issues running Redguard with more than 1 cores.

-Added the following to dosbox.conf [autoexec]:

mount c "."
mount d "."\Redguard.iso -t cdrom iso

This is where the trail ends, I'm not sure what to do next. Every guide and discussion about this I have read is unclear on how to actually start the game after all that. Running rgfx.exe gives me "Critical Disk Error, Redguard couldn't run" error.

Post this in the DOSBox forum. I believe this thread is for getting games going on real DOS machines 😀

Check system.ini in the Redguard dir. "[System]/animation_drive" must be "d:\".
Run the game with a second cd inserted/mounted.
By the way, if you mount a cd-image - use imgmount command.

I have checked the last Ykhwong's build (6 may 2013) - it is broken and just quit from Redguard with the "exit to error: illegal descriptor type 0 for int 21" message.
Previous builds are fine.
