Originally posted by Meisner Well,I´m quite disappointed by the way this game "works"
So,I followed the steps given here,starting by deactivating all digi board off,etc.I also needed to download the tex4.exe file given in this topic to make it work...
Well, if you read what I had said before posting it, you would see I had warned about the different versions of Pandora out there. The location where I hacked the executable was different from at least two other people's versions. The only reason I had posted it was that Malko seemed really desperate.
but what makes me angry is the fact that I get it working (but with bad sound,which doesn´t let me understand anything) and when I get back to the desktop and try to executing it again,it doesn´t work.
Remember, you're dealing with a game that was never designed run on an NT OS. Things like this will happen.
Some ideas in what could have changed? I didn´t touch anything,just exited the game.
No real way without hands-on access. I would replace the modified TEX4.EXE with the unmodified original and configure it to run with no sound.
Of course, the first thing to do would be to figure how to do that. Hrrmm... I'll take a look at the config file and see if there's a way that it can be done.
Originally posted by Unregistered (sharon)Jiri, my game crashes into the desktop without notice too.
But I have 2 types of crashes.
ONE: sudden crash
That's indicative of hacking the executable. More likely to happen when you're using a different version's executable. Don't know if that's the case here...
TWO: when I insert another CD, XP opens the data of the CD and get me back to windows!
Sounds like Windows is trying to "open" the CD automatically for you. Next time you swap the CD, hold down your left shift key until the CD-ROM drive finishes spinning up and identifying the CD. After several seconds it should be safe to let up on the shift key.
Originally posted by Jiri experience is with Under a Killing Moon in XP - I was able to start that game after similar (not exactly the same) adjustment as with Pandora, but the game always crashes when dialog with Chelsea by the newsstand ends, regardless if I have sound enabled or not.
Hrmm. I don't think mine did that. Then again, it's been a while and I don't remember anything beyond successfully asking for a dinner date and leaving.
So, as Nicht said: Dual-boot, Dual-boot, Dual-boot... At least at this moment.
Yep. Win9x is a good thing to keep around as long as you can run it on your hardware.
I recently found Win98 will bomb out on any Intel processor running faster than 2.1GHz (98SE can handle it), so it's days are numbered.
