Re: D-Generation

Posted on 2006-07-21, 12:57

I have a question regarding trying to install a game using IMGMOUNT which is on two disks. If I try: imgmount a disk01.ima -t floppy and imgmount b disk02.ima -t floppy I get an error in dosbox. "DOSBOX has encountered an error and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I only have …

> Address not found Either the disk is bad, or it is part of the copy protection. In both cases you're most likely out of luck. Maybe the floppy works better in a different floppy drive, or some old dos floppy copier (hdcopy, vgacopy and the likes) works. Thanks. I tried both VGACOPY & HDCOPY and …

Not exactly. You need some program for creating a floppy image (it will probably have .img, .ima or such extension). Then you must mount it with the imgmount command under DOSBox. Use something like WINIMAGE: 1. Insert your floppy disk and select READ DISK 2. Select SAVE AS and select the "IMAGE ( …

well DOSBox doesn't support those lowlevel calls unless you imgmount the drive. and the you might even have to boot a real version of DOS. Windows XP command prompt doesn't do them either I suppose (that dos is emulated as well) Can you please explain "imgmount" ? of the floppy a:\ drive? I've not …

I think most games from The Learning Company used a physical disk protection. This game was put out by "The Software Tools, Inc.", and distributed by MindScape before The Software Tools, Inc. was bought by MindScape, and before MindScape was purchased by TLC. However, it probably has some physical …

D-Generation

I am unable to INSTALL my original D-Generation (3.5" 720 MB) game. Through DOSbox or underlying WIN XP Pro, it doesn't recognize the original disk from the DOS install program (install.exe) off of the disk. I had had the same problem with QIX, and was able to find a downloadable version of QIX at …

DOSBox and VDMSound

Posted on 2006-06-27, 01:02

Heard about and been using DOSBox for only a couple of weeks at best. Great program. Have set up QIX, and 2 King's Quest Games for my daughters (V & VII). Now my first game is running without sound: Commander Keen 1. I installed VDMSound, and tried running the BAT file I start DOSBox and Commander …

Re: KQVII

That did it. It took a couple of restarts from SAFE Mode to Regular mode and back, because I had messed a BATCH file up with my noviceness in using the CACLS command. But all is well, now, and I even used the CACLS command to fix some things I had messed up, as well, so I cauld then use the Security …

You wrote, "Your only options are to modify the permissions on the folder where your games are at or ... ." I tried using the CACLS command, and I am at a complete loss - because even logged on as myself, I was getting "ACCESS DENIED". And somehow I must have screwed it up using CACLS; because, now …

Re: KQVII

So how does one change FOLDER permissions in Win XP HOME? is it by booting up in SAFE Mode? P.S. Putting the game in My Documents, while a good idea, is not practical, as I actually have two daughters, each with their own account. The program, now, is not under the System folder of "Program Files", …

I went in as my daughter on Win XP HOME - on her LIMITED access account. I tried to change READ ONLY permissions on the KQ7DOS folder as follows: attrib -R /S /D *.* I also ran this command one level up. And I ran it directly on the folder, too. attrib -R /S /D KQ7DOS and various combinations, …

Thanks, I suspected something related. I'll try giving her permissions on the files and folders. if that doesn't work, I'll then try to reinstall under her account in DOSBox .65.

KQVII

Posted on 2006-06-21, 00:44

I tried to run KQVII (DOS Version) in WinXP HOME. It works just fine under MY User Account with ADMIN privileges. But when my daughter (for whom it is for) then tries to run it under her user account (LIMITED privileges), it seems to lock up on the menu. It appears to load just fine, and brings us …

An old LucasArts game called LOOM?

Posted on 2006-06-21, 00:03

in Windows
Anyone know where I can find an old LucasArts game called LOOM (CDRom for PC)? We had purchased it many, many years ago. And after several moves, that is one of the older games I can not find. I tried eBay and Amazon, there was one, in Australia. Need USA.

in DOS
Note: I tried it with DosBox as well, and it wouldn't work, so possibly the floppy controller is also part of the problem. Any solutions, i do not have an Atari or any other system.
