Just more time wasted. The wrapper only supports versions 3/5 of the program for some reason - but doesn't tell me what version the game is trying to run. Uniextract seems intent on treating the target (I've tried the Autorun and both Setup executables) as archives instead of trying to run them …

Thank you for the info. I'll let you know how it works out.

Thought I was getting a deal on this CD for $3. Oh well... Haven't been getting anywhere getting this to run on Win8. Here's what I've got so far: Opening the CD and running Autorun.exe or any of the Setup executables gives the hourglass icon for a moment, then nothing. Task Manager shows whichever …

The initial setup works simply by changing the directories the game resides in. I doscovered (sic) this by loading a Linux liveCD (I thought Windoze was interfering in some hidden fashion). I installed DOSBox and called the physical U7 CD, and ran the installer from there. No errors, no complaints …

Same on 'file attributes': all have full access allowed for my account. Quote: Run install.exe in the game folders IN dosbox. #mount e C:\Users\U7\SETUP\ -t cdrom -label U7 #e mount c C:\Users c: ch U7 ch ULTIMA7 #INSTALL.EXE ULTIMA7.COM #exit As you can see, I created a SETUP folder and copied the …

The game's full directory tree is set as full access for my account. The Exult team has put any further (new) releases on hold until they can track down several bugs - some game-breaking, some not-so-bad but still serious. This anouncement was made almost a year ago, and can be seen on their main …

I have 'The Complete Ultima Collection' on CD. I've had numerous problems trying to get it to install/run. At first I kept getting a message about '8086 virtual mode' with no option to continue. Then I heard that certain games had methods to allow bypassing the installer. So I copied the CD contents …

Thanks for correcting me. Also, is there a way to render a post to look like a normal paragraph, and not like a page of C source code? The past couple of times I've posted, I've tried to clean it up after checking it in 'Preview' mode, but it doesn't seem to work.

Thanks for correcting me. :-0

thanks for responding. actually, I figured it out. mount c /home/NAME C: cd /noctis chdir /modules (DUUHHH ME!) noctics I never did it in Windows. I just put it in C:\ & then CD to Modules. next, I created a config file & edited it for the settings I wanted. (also something I didn't do in Windows.) …

sorry, I forgot to mention that my last post covered the Windows method. now I'm trying to figure out how to run it in Linux. Ok, the file you want is /MODULES/NOCTIS.EXE. unfortunately, DOSBox only supports changing directories only once. even if you put the NOCTIS folder in your /home/name …

try this put the NOCTIS folder in the C:\ folder mount c C:\Noctis C: CD MODULES NOCTIS that's the easy part. next, depending on your system, you may have to set CYCLES=MAX. OUTPUT=SURFACE should work. there is no sound, so I didn't worry about those settings I usually set CPU=DYNAMIC if you know …
