Re: Can't save - The Gene Machine

It is possible you have installed the game to a location that DOSBox does not have write-privileges to. The easiest way to get around the problem might be to run DOSBox as a user with administrative privileges. Yes, that is the most likely cause. The game saves its files in the directory with the …

Here's another almost equally complicated method: 1) create an empty directory; 2) register a change notification from within Windows for that directory; 3) mount a drive pointing to that empty directory; 4) redirect the output to a file in that directory. The change notification will trigger when …

No game needs it, so it is not implemented. No game needs what? Printing? Oxyd is a game prints a certificate when you complete it (I have one). It's nice, but you can always take a screenshot and print it outside of DOSBox. I'm sure that there are other examples. However, no known game has a …

check your DOSBox options file. You'll need sbbase=220, irq=7, dma=1 for the SoundBlaster to work. You can't change from those values or you won't get any sound at all. Within the game, there is the "option mode" to select the sound card, and to test that it's working. The music and sound tests …

It's entirely possible that every available copy is derived from the first ISO which of course had no music. If it isn't an IMG issue how do I …

Here's the unpacked loader. It can run from hard disk. If you copy the CDs to the HD, you can copy this file over cdrun.com and you don't need to change anything else.

Um, where did you get your copy of Rick Dangerous? Is your original rick.com 3535 bytes long? There is no packed file message in there, and it runs for me. loadfix rick.com

Yes, that new loader has serious issues. I can't see how it ever worked. I'll see about unpacking the files instead.

Try Ben Castricum's UNP.EXE (included here). The message suggests that the file is packed with ExePack, which UNP can unpack.

it's checking port 300 first and then 330. it doesn't check 330 if something responds on port 300 in the "right" way. to change that behavior requires that someone writes a program to intercept the access (edit: like the included one).

it's calculating the amount of memory required to save the current screen, but the result exceeds 64kb in EGA mode, and so an allocation fails. The result is a null pointer which is not checked first before being used for copying the screen memory.

I think that I've finally figured out the problem with the sound (and fixed it, too). The game never explicitly enables the IRQ for the sound card, probably assuming that the sound driver would do that first. If someone would like to play the game and see if it works, that would be nice. I've had …

just use wteledsk to convert the td0 to img, and then you can mount the floppy image. In the case of Fatman, that's sufficient - the 1.48Mb reference in the nfo is completely bogus, because they're completely regular 1.44Mb images. However, the installer will fail to run because you can't switch …
