Re: Getting Starship Titanic to Work on XP SP3

Posted on 2014-12-02, 00:29

in Windows
I have got this working with WINE. It doesnt help your problem with XP but i thought i'd say i had to use the contents of the zip file i've upload to get it working with wine. There's a game patch, then replace the other files in the game folder. Playing it for half an hour now and all seems well …

Re: Shortcuts on Linux for Windows 95 games

Posted on 2014-10-26, 20:00

in Windows
I would install wine and playonlinux and install it through playonlinux as playonlinux automatically produces a shortcut without the headaches. Never heard of the game so I couldnt tell you if it works out of the box. If you really have to use virtualbox to install windows 95 then you can easily set …

After I put the Neverhood disc in, and try to run install, I get a dialog box saying that "The version is this file is incompatible with the version of Windows you are using.

Hi all, thanks so much for this Bladeforce, using the InstallShield 3 Is3Engine.zip exe file, it installed great onto windows 7 64-bit. Runs perfectly, saves as well :) The only bug is sometimes the screen is out of sync at first bootup, but the Alt+Tab to minimise and then maximise does the trick. …

Well, I'm gonna install ubuntu on my netbook and test a few games and if all goes well I think I will install ubuntu on my main computer as well and hopefully solve a lot of my compatibility problems. Thank you for the input :) lol. Solve your Windows game compatibility problems with Windows and my …

Re: Wine - Old Windows Games Compatibility?

I would suggest using playonlinux as a frontend for wine. You can install different wine revisions within playonlinux and once you get a game running with, for example, revision 1.5.10 it will always run as it is independent from the wine installed on your main OS (I always keep my main wine up to …

You could try copying the disc to a folder on your hard drive then replace the setup.exe with one more compatible from the reactos website http://www.reactos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10988 It's surprising these alternatives to 16bit installers isnt stickied somewhere here

Re: Afraid to run old Windows Games on Window 7?

And to add to your Wine comment...that too runs a hell of a lot of the older games, some even that struggle on windows. Biggest advantage of wine..you can store them in separate containers so they are totally separate from the OS. Biggest drawback? You may have to install a virus scanner just …
