Jorpho... yes I agree actually. Should have been more specific. The game terminated after a language selection screen with a DOS message that said something like "ASSERTION FAILED:" and then listed a video file from the CD (which was the first video scene in the game). Then crashed back to dos, …

Hiya! I'm using a dump of the original CD from Readysoft (which works fine using MSCDEX in a real CD-Rom). My goal tho is to try to get it to run off the hard-drive so I don't have to load CD-drivers and all that. Anyone know a way to do this? My usual tricks (copying the whole CD to a folder an …

The pinball game trouble-shooter in me is screaming "bad connector". In fact, that's what it sounds like. Sure, it COULD be something with the bus controller, BIOS, or software conflict, but I'm willing to bet that there's a bad pin on the ISA socket, or a loose solder joint on the underside... or …

I was hoping to find something that combines the features of something like DWJukebox (dot com -a DOS mp3 player and skinnable …

Thank you for the recommendations and sound advice... Just fyi it seems queststudios.com has disabled registration, so can't post there anyways for the time being. Well, truth be told I have 2 of these... but they are both in my dos arcade rig (it's a versus system with two identical machines, for …

Didn't know about the no-swapping topic rule. Man, it's tough to find one of these. Is there a hardware swapping site specifically... I mean besides Ebay?

Anyone looking to trade for a GUS? I have a Classic, Max and Plug-and-Play available. The Plug and Play has the original box. Or I have a Pro Audio Spectrum, Diamond Monster Sound PCI (with daughterboard), and several sound blasters and voodoo cards if you'd rather trade for a couple of these. I'm …
