Nono, you see, LINGO is compiled into the EXE; there is no way of retrieving it. Here is an info from dirOpener pages: "Lingo is a programming language that has been developed by Macromedia to allow you to program things in an easy to understand language. The director engine(that translates machine …

I'm surprised nobody has made a thread for this one yet. Interesting. I was also surprised and wanted to do it. I found some threads which can be interesting in this regard: http://webforums.macromedia.com/director/messageview.cfm?catid=186&threadid=348535&highlight_key=y&keyword1=director%205 …

Hmm.. The Flight of the Amazon Queen would run here in Windows 98 without any optimizing, tweaking and the like. Strange, I don´t have Win98 now but I´ve had this OS before and I remember I couldn´t run this game straight in it, I always got "not enough conventional memory notice" regardless of …

Great job. This game was one of the biggest troublemakers because of memory needs. Worked in pure DOS only and usually after much tweaking. I have read tons of complains in the various forums.

Sounds about right. Someday we'll have to make a concentrated effort to break through this compatibility wall (again). At least part of the effort seems it should concentrate on how to tell these "detection" programs that the video card really is VESA. It would be great and I´m looking forward for …

You might try seeing if you can't find the Playstation version (I have it). Thank you, but I don´t have Playstation (and I don´t want to buy it because of Ark) so the only way is to use an emulator. Besides, such an old game is probably hard to find and I doubt that this particular title is worth …

I've already tested it under DOS the video problem still remains. The last weeks I tested over a hundred of games running under XP, Win98 and DOS - this is the ONLY Game not working with my Card (Geforc3 Ti) under any of the operating sytems. Maybe some VESA drivers could help? Are there others …

No "stuck-mouse syndrome", eh? That's an odd one. I can't seem to find a pattern other than it seems to happen mostly to GeForce owners (but has never happened to me). I don´t know, maybe it´s not graphic card related but it depends on type of OS. I have WinXP and I´ve read some complaints from …

Well, that was longer than expected and less successful than hoped!! It will not even run up on my G400 equipped system - complains about no VESA mode! Maybe you could try Mon-ARC. "Mon-ARC PLUS is a TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) program that co-exists with the existing VGA BIOS, enabling the …

Did you try the official (and now, free) 6.53/6.7 versions? Yes and without success - in DOS (and 6.7 also in XP) they report no supported chip detected, 6.53 in WinXP NTVDM detects WinBond W9970CF with 1MB but it didn´t help with anything. As far as the GF2 is concerned, it seems that it and the …

I recently found Win98 will bomb out on any Intel processor running faster than 2.1GHz (98SE can handle it), so it's days are numbered. No tears as far as I´m concerned. Since most of my Windows games work under XP (except of Amber and Feeble Files), I prefer dual boot with DOS only. I´ve recently …

But sudden crashes occurred quite often (and yes, I´ve used hacked executable), although I don´t remember exactly where. I think that when I restarted game, I was usually able …

Actually there's been one notable glitch throughout all the posted configs in this thread. They all point to using 5 as the IRQ for sound. Strange thing but I hear no difference - with IRQ 5 or 7 in Pandora Digi Config while IRQ is 7 in VDMSound it gives me the same result - rather good (although …

I don´t have The New Adventures of the Time Machine so I can´t try it, but on this XP compatibility list is mentioned that this game can work in XP - there is also set-up for the game but no info about "ISDX_ERR_BADWINDOWSVERSION" so maybe it won´t help.
