Interesting. I would't say that it's so slow that I could make myself some tea in the meantime (I hate coffee :P), but it's certainly fairly slow. But anyway... honestly, I find myself unable to complete level 3 without cheating. No way. I only managed to do it when playing the Amiga emulated …

A question about this game has appeared before, but I found it not very relevant because what I have is not a disk image. Just files. And by the way, I dislike developers who put multiple executable files in a single game, because how am I supposed to know which one should be used? Anyway, I was …

As in the title - I can't run any DOS game in D-Fend Reloaded. It just shuts. I don't remember where is the tick box for not closing DOSBox window if the game shuts, so I can't check the DOSBox message. Background: my apartment was undergoing renovation, so for the last two months I was living …

I just discovered this game and wanted to play it, but I'm unable to run it. Of course, I have it downloaded. This is abandon-ware in the strict sense - abandoned, not sold anymore, so don't expect me to have an original CD. Running heaven.bat doesn't work, the game shuts down. I can run the game's …

I've hit a problem when trying to view games in Screenshot mode. If I try this view (which has been working fine up until now) the "user defined information" fields start to cross one another and half of games it can find do not displaying their thumbnail images or pop up in the wrong field. ( …

I play games in D-Fend Reloaded, v. 1.4.4. I wanted to record (Ctrl-F6) the beautiful melody which starts playing in the labyrinth when Brandon turns into a ball of light after repairing the altar. It doesn't work, the resulting "sound" file is silent. The game has three executable files: crack.exe, …

OK, so maybe another question. Running "Discworld" through DOSBox only seems less comfortable because of the game's installation process. I prefer to keep all games in one folder. Suppose I install the game; it seems to require a short path in line with DOS standards. Will it be installed to my real …

It seems that I have the most up-to-date versions for both D-Fend Reloaded (1.4.4) and Scumm VM. I prefer running Scumm VM-supported games through D-Fend Reloaded because it allows easy screenshot capture. However, I can't create a profile for Discworld (1). Creating a Scumm VM profile in D-Fend …

I can't imagine what you expect anyone to do with this non-information. Couldn't you be a little bit less unpleasant? For example "Sorry, but we can't help you without more information". Some people use computers while knowing relatively little about them and being very conservative about their …

I have a laptop with two hard disks: the smaller C drive (50 GB), which has very little space left, and D drive (100 GB), which has more space and yet was less used. Mostly as a storage space - also for games, but none of them was a DOS game, all were relatively large. I also have another games …
