Hello,
i trying to make working Dark Earth on Windows 7 64bit, i managed install it on Windows 98 virtual machine and good news that is possible copy folder with installed game
to Windows 7 and its running, at least to menu, when i have this error:
Libsys Error:
LS ERROR:8 Bmap Error: Bitmove256 DDERR_OUTOFMEMORY error

Probably too much memory RAM or VRAM something like that.

I have triad all compatibility modes and i disabled HiDPI, visual themes etc..

Im old goal oriented goatman, i care about facts and freedom, not about egos+prejudices. Hoarding=sickness. If you want respect, gain it by your behavior. I hate stupid SW limits, SW=virtual world, everything should be possible if you have enough raw HW.

Thanks,
but could you be more specific how to use it? I read on their page that it not working with too many programs..

I have installed it, used default configuration, i got black screen, but sounds and keys are working..

It should work with the default configuration, if it doesn't maybe there's a compatibility issue with your GPU and DXGL. Try removing any compatibility modes you're using, if you haven't already.

How did you manage to get Dark Earth working in the end ?
I've installed DXGL and all I get is black screen, sounds ans inputs just like you got in the first place.

Never knew about this tool. Thanks. Using the ddraw.dll from the MS folder included with dgVoodoo v2.53 and this tool for aspect correction I actually got my old copy of Blood Omen Legacy of Kain working properly including the FMVs in Windows 7 64 in conjunction with the BO:LoK v2.0 unofficial patch.
