My aunt (Rudy's sister) just made me aware of this thread and I appreciate the positive sentiments towards my father made here. In terms of the patches, please continue to make them available - I want his impact to continue for as long as it can. At some point, I will try to piece together what he …

I assume you mean EMM386.EXE? If so I don't have that loaded anyway...

In order to rule out any help that might have come from game patches I installed the Expansion Set and updated the game to version 1.5. The resulting new WAR2.EXE crashes in both Windows and DOS just like the original one. I updated DOS4GW and applied DOS32A to this new .EXE as I did with the …

Maybe there is a dosbox version that run on 9x... but most versions need xp or higher. I'm pretty sure DOSBox 0.74 runs fine under Win98SE. Am I mistaken? I remember using it to run 8088 speed sensitive games. Perhaps it needs KernelEX to run, but I'm fairly certain it doesn't. i never tryed... But …

DOS32A comes with SB.EXE which can be used to replace DOS4GW inside WAR2.EXE with DOS32A. Place DOS32A.EXE and SB.EXE in your WAR2 folder, backup your original WAR2.EXE, and run SB /R WAR2.EXE. DOS32A still throws irrelevant? errors when exiting the program though. For DOS4GW it's more complicated, …

I tracked down an updated version of DOS4G (2.01a) and experimented with it and DOS32A. Replacing DOS4GW 1.97 in WAR2.EXE with either of these now allows the game to run in pure DOS, but when run in a DOS Box inside Windows it still crashes the same way as before. So apparently there are some …

I do not own Warcraft I , sorry. But why it should not run ? It should; I just hoped that someone else could replicate the strange situation where the older WarCraft I is working and the later WarCraft II is not. I think the Blizzard intro-Video has a special Graphics-Mode, not supported by X850... …

The only thing you can try to test various Dos4/gw versions... maybe you can replace dos4/gw with dos32a. and on your machine you can setup a dualboot with 98, and xp.. and run doxbox on xp (and nglide if you wanna play 3dfx games) How do I replace the embedded DOS4GW inside WAR2.EXE with a later …

Oh, you can run whatever you want and I can hardly tell you otherwise, but when you come along with questions about such combinations, you're pretty much inviting them to become someone else's business. Also, language like "I consider it to be the only 'right' way" kind of comes across as …

Try to test the X850xt with another games more demanding than Warcraft 2, just to be sure. Keep in mind that there are 2 version of warcraft 2, try with the battlechest version to see if its something related to dos, the game.... or the Card. If the battlechest version works, at least you can keep …

Rudolph Loew's Windows 9x RAM Limitation Patch Burn it with fire. [386Enh]\MaxPhysPage=20000, [vcache]\MaxFileCache=65536 and [vcache]\MinFileCache=65536. Last two digits can be different, the goal is - vcache must not use reserved memory in the 4th GB area (c0000000-ffffffff). Reserved areas can …

Hello everyone! First time visiting here... I have a problem I hope someone here may have already faced and may be able to help me sort out. I just finished building a high-end Windows 9x gaming system (specs below) and now I'm having trouble getting good old WarCraft II to run. The real kicker here …
