Alright. I tried something else. I copied all of the contents of the CD to the root of my E drive (I have a C,D,E and an F partition on my 10GB HD) and installed fresh from there. Installed fine, but still had weird issues when running it...

I tried that Filemon program, and SPIDERCM tries to load the files from all kinds of different random places across the four partitions on my hard drive. I mean, like... really random places like the C:\OPTI930 folder I have for my DOS soundcard drivers. It also tries to find completely non-existent …

It depends on how the DRM works. One thing you can do is try DOSBox or VMWare and use an ISO image, but this isn't what you want. If a solid copy to the hard drive won't work, likely not much will. You can try copying to faster media like a DVD that can read more data with less speed. I don't think …

Hey all. I'm trying to get Spiderman Cartoon Maker running the way I want it on my Windows 95/DOS gaming PC. It runs fine, but suffers from noticeable load times from the CD, so I'd like to know how to copy the game completely to the HD and actually have it work. I tried doing it myself but the game …

Imo, I find it absolutely ridiculous to call something just barely 10 years old retro. Honestly, I don't even find stuff like Dreamcast, XBOX, PS2, etc. retro either...

I really don't understand why people are going absolutely insane over disc rot. I've literally only ever had one disc in my lifetime suffer from disc rot, and that was a copy of Rise of the Dragon on Sega CD (long jewel case pressing). I've since gotten a working copy for cheap. For rarer CD-based …

I went looking through some of my old files and found a rather interesting piece of DOS shareware called EYE-GARD. Some silly PC lock-out software, I suppose. Even has PC speaker digitized speech sampling. Problem is, my copy of it seems to be very messed with to the point of not being able to be …

Tandy 3-Voice Emulation for Sound Blaster or Windows Sound System?

Does such a thing exist? I think I remember hearing about something like this for the Covox Speech Thing, but it'd obviously be way more useful if there was something for either Sound Blaster or Windows Sound System cards (presumably via sampling.) Thanks.

Hi. Very recently I picked up a copy of Westwood's Blade Runner from my local Goodwill. I followed a guide on play-old-PC-games on playing Blade Runner on Windows 7, and even with the custom installer, I really can't for the life of me get it to work. All that happens every time I try to run the …

Hi. I recently watched this episode of the Computer Chronicles that actually shows a DOS PC version of the CD-ROM version of Defender of the Crown that seems similar to the CDTV or CD-i versions. However, when I tried to look up this version, I find absolutely nothing about its existence. They're …
