Excellent! I found the NTVDM site a while ago and bookmarked it, hoping i'd get to install XP someday, but now you have Alpha support for 95, and i am happy 😀 Thank you for the work, guys.
It works great for some smaller games (Pizza Worm etc); i still need to try it on some of the bigger ones. Dune 2 plays the digitized speech in the intro, though it hangs when selecting a house... but this might be due to my cheesy attempt at installing without rebooting. What kind of bug reports are you guys looking for? ("Game X hangs"? "I'm 1337 and used Soft-ICE and can tell you exactly what's going on"? etc)
Regarding one of the posters not being able to install the "vcredist" CAB. This won't happen on Windows ME, because Windows ME already has the updated versions of the DLLs. The .EXE isn't corrupt 😀 The lame thing in ME is you need to set the environment variables in Windows because AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS don't work. You can set this up by going Start-Run "msconfig" (no quotes). My cheesy no-reboot thing was because it's kinda flakey if you don't reboot when you've added new environment variables.
To the developer: I have no idea whatsoever how VxDs work, so i might be way off the mark here... but would it be possible to do DOS interrupts to do a "panic" quit to DOS if something happens? mov ax, 4c00h ; int 21h or whatever it is. Even if the DOS box hung straight after that, it'd be nice to know what kind of call failed. Just a thought, i'm probably totally mixed up.
Thanks again anyway guys 😀
