Re: Trying to get Redguard to run

Posted on 2020-07-03, 18:01

It's so close to being possible, yet so far. Well after fiddling around a bit more I found that I can in fact quicksave while in game, and the pause menu works consistently when I'm inside a building, where I notice higher framerates and loading times. I still don't know what causes the crash …

I know this thread is pretty old now but I'm back to trying to get this to work again and I have real progress. By not loading emm386 I was able to get the game to load past the main menu, and it seems to work fine, but there is one major issue that I hope people actually know how to deal with. It's …

Although, IIRC the game installer is Win9x only so it kind of requires Win9x. But you can install/extract the files on a Windows PC and play on a DOS PC. Yes, that is exactly what I am trying to do. I don't know for sure if running RG.EXE standalone checks if the CD directory is legitimate or not …

I have to have startup files because my network must load due to storing the game on a network drive. I already tried different versions and alternatives to dos4gw. I'll move it off the network onto my pc once i beat a different game and can clear some space. I did read something that network …

Got an update. Crash log reads as so: DOS/4GW error (2001): exception 0Eh (page fault) at 160:0081BA95 TSF32: prev_tsf32 528C SS 168 DS 168 ES 168 FS 0 GS 40 EAX 50A451DF EBX 50A451DF ECX 0 EDX FF ESI 8E6381 EDI 8676E0 EBP FF ESP 96612C CS:IP 160:0081BA95 ID 0E COD 0 FLG 10202 CS= 160, USE32, page …

Trying to get Redguard to run

Posted on 2019-07-16, 02:39

My DOS/Win 3.11 PC should have the specs to run Redguard (Pentium MMX 233MHz 64MB RAM). My CD drive doesn't work so I used FakeCD to emulate a CD drive of disc 2. The game gets gets into the loading screen fine and gets to initializing combat before throwing some text I can't see because the font is …

I wasn't sure if I would need KernelEx or not based on the fact I was able to install Java 6u7 without it and the Minecraft launcher ran. And you never thought to cite this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaynOXm1X3Y I saw that video, but since Java 6u7 was able to be installed without …

It's been done before. I mostly want to play old versions, which actually can run at a sort of decent framerate as they use far less memory than newer versions. I just want to know how to fix the issue I have, since people have gotten it to work on lower powered CPUs than me before.

Minecraft on Windows 98

Posted on 2018-03-20, 02:00

So I've seen several people get Minecraft to run on Windows 98. I have a Windows 98, so why not do the same? I installed Java 6u7, ran the game, and an error. I don't really know what the problem is. I don't know if it has to do with the hardware, or the software. My graphics card is an Nvidia …

OK so everything was working fine... I needed to check the sound card and put a piece back on the ether card because I had thought it might have been a problem before but it wasn't. Now when it's reconnected, it won't work right for some reason. It just fails to connect now! It had even been …

Somehow, by chance, the computer recognized my router, Windows 10, and the 95 all at the same time on the network! I was able to use NET to assign a drive letter to network storage. Now I know that the computer can recognize the rest, so FTP isn't even needed. I can simply COPY any files I need now! …

I'm glad it finally worked :) I am actually finding MS client pretty easy to use, but that probably comes with age. Anyway, next time, I recommend you to fix the floppy first, then use Brad Driver's netboot (http://www.netbootdisk.com), it's IMHO easier than MS client, at least for initial testing …

IRQ and interrupt is the same thing :) (Interrupt ReQuest) I am out of ideas. I would guess another good reason for this behaviour is wrong media select (coax instead of twisted pair) but in that case, packet driver wouldn't be able to connect either. Could you post the .INI files generated or …

Re: Connecting DOS Machine to LAN

MS client usually works just fine, the only problem is that disk swapping during installation, and rather awkward configuration of TCP/IP. You have to add the right card, then add TCP/IP, configure it and then remove the default IPX - or something along these lines, and the setup program is... …

I hate to ask the obvious question, but at some point the floppy drive being flakey is going to be a problem - why not just replace it? 3.5" drives are all over - that's all you need. I'd get the network going just because it is useful, but don't forget about the floppy drive. Yes... I will look …
