I just got a copy of Alien Legacy and after I install it it asks for the cd to run. This is the message I get:
Place the Alien Legacy CD in the CD-ROM drive. If you cannot locate the appropriate CD, type [Escape] to exit to DOS. Otherwise, type any other key to continue.
When I press a key to continue it gives me the same message again and again. Has anyone else had this problem? I have read the readme file and it says nothing about this. My rig specs are:
Pentium 133
64megs ram
2.1 gig hd
40x cd drive
Ess AudioDrive 1688
DOS 6.0
QEMM97 Memory Manager
My config.sys looks like this:
BUFFERS=30,0
FILES=40
DOS=HIGH,UMB
LASTDRIVE=Z
FCBS=4,0
STACKS=9,256
device=c:\qemm\dosdata.sys
DEVICE=C:\QEMM\QEMM386.SYS RAM SH:N R:1
device=c:\qemm\dos-up.sys @c:\qemm\dos-up.dat
DEVICE=C:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS /R:1 /SIZE=11520 C:\QEMM\QDPMI.SYS SWAPFILE=DPMI.SWP SWAPSIZE=1024
DEVICE=C:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS /R:1 /SIZE=11488 C:\CDPRO\VIDE-CDD.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:1F0,14 /P:170,15 /P:1E8,12 /P:168,10
My autoexec.bat file looks like this:
C:\WINDOWS\ESSCFG.EXE /A:220 /I:5 /D:1 /B:300 /M:E
C:\WINDOWS\ESSVOL.EXE /V:8 /L:8 /W:8 /M:0 /C:8 /S:8 /A:8
C:\QEMM\LOADHI /R:2 MSCDEX /D:MSCD001 /V
C:\QEMM\LOADHI /R:2 /RES=17328 /SQF C:\WINDOWS\mouse.COM /Y
Any help would be appreciated. 😵
Edit: The switches on the line with the cd set the port, irq and others it needs to run. Also I tried altering how the drive letter was set up and the same problem occures. The letters the drive was on were d & e at two different times. I also tried installing it on a machine with DosBox but it gave me an error about could not open a config type file.
