Hi,
I bought a CD version of X-Com Terror From The Deep but when I played it ran far too fast.
So I've just downloaded DOSBox-0.63 and was hoping it would slow it down somewhat. When I try to play it using DosBox with the terror.bat file (that I normally use to play it) it comes up with this error:
Unable to change to: \MPS\TFTD.
Illegal command: TERRORCD.
The thing is though I checked the page that lists all of the games and X-Com TFTD is supported (with 0.62 - I'm running 0.63 Could that be the problem?) yet I can't seem to get it to work. I've read both the pictorial newbie guide and the readme file.
I'm running it on XP with an AMD Sempron 1.5GHz processor with 768MB Ram. This is how I've approached it so far:
I installed the game from the CD. I installed DosBox 0.63. I opened dosbox and wrote:
mount C C:\MPS <-This is the directory that the game is in
C:
terror
Which is when it comes up with the afforementioned error.
I also approached it another way. I tried running it straight from the CD. In this case I typed:
mount D D:\ -t cdrom
D:
terrorcd
This works just fine until it gets to the point where you enter a mission in Battlescape when it asks if I would like to enter the mission and I hit 'yes' it crashes (the screen freezes and I can't press any buttons yet the cursor is still able to move).
Any help would be MUCH appreciated.
