I'm a new member here, bringing up an old topic- please forgive me... 😉
Has anyone ever found success in running this "D" game on modern hardware?
I've gotten it installed on my Win98 box, but no joy to be found yet...
Specs:
MSI K7T Pro2-A (onboard SoundBlaster compatible sound-chip)
Athlon 1.2Ghz
GeForce2 GTS 32 Mb
512Mb RAM
Installation seemed to go fine, selected SoundBlaster16- which was recognized. Tried starting the game, system hardlocks... forcing reboot.
Google newsgroups says problems abound whilst trying to run this game under Win98, using the traditional workarounds- which leads me to this forum. Further investigation of the newsgroups reveals something about Win95 being more compatible than Win98, big surprise there...
I believe that the problem lies as indicated in this thread, no support for VESA modes on GeForce cards.
Questions:
Can this game run under Win98 or Win95, or is it DOS only?
(My DOS skills are quite rusty, but I think they're still there)
What kind of video card would support VESA 1.2 in the above system?
(Matrox, Number Nine, SIS, it all seems so long ago)
Please feel free to suggest any and all fixes, as I would really like to play this game... 😎
Help please?
