Re: Outlaws (LucasArts) under Vista

Posted on 2010-10-31, 22:41

in Windows
I "upgraded" to Windows 7 with a new computer and I cannot install OUTLAWS because it is apparently a 16 bit install program. I can copy the files from my old computer, but the registry doesn't know where the game is so only some parts of the game work (no sound effects, no patching, and other …

256 Colors in Windows 3.11 through DOSBOX??

Posted on 2010-10-30, 23:36

I searched the forums but couldn't find the answer to this one. I managed to install Windows 3.11 for Workgroups under DOSBOX. I want to use it to run a very old Windows game (it won't run under DOS). When I attempt execute the game it says it requires 256 colors, so I go back to Windows setup and …

I love DOSBOX, but in this case I think you are far better off going to http://jonof.id.au/index.php?p=jfduke3d and downloading the Windows port. The game runs great through windows with this port. I have never had a problem with it.

The only way to get Kyrandia 3 working properly with sound appears to be to use DOSBOX. It is supposed to run on Windows, but that was Windows 95. With XP or later it is best to use DOSBOX.

I have got the puppy up and running much better now. It is finally playable, but I still have the old squished box problem (wrong aspect ratio). Anytime I use the FULLSCREEN mode it "letterboxes" the game. How do I put it back in the correct aspect ratio without removing the fullscreen?

If you are asking about multi-player I don't honestly know how many people still play it, but if you want single player mode ... yes, install it. It is one of my favorite 3D Shooters and a great game.

I'm almost there ... but ... I found an old help file which said that you should turn off "disk cache" or it might cause crashes. I could not find out how to do this, to test the theory. Can someone tell me how to turn off disk caching? What exactly does it do? I know it is not related to VDMS, but …

Yes. MOUSE2KV.EXE combined with NOLFB.EXE works. If you put these in the Conquest directory and change your bat file as follows it should work fine: set DOS4GVM=MAXMEM#16000000 C:\CONQUEST\nolfb.exe C:\CONQUEST\MOUSE2KV.EXE 640 480 8 8 C:\CONQUEST\dos4gw.exe cnwmain.exe The only problem now is a bug …

Okay. Two new problems. 1. The aspect ratio is again squished, like it is widescreen, except that it was not supposed to be widescreen. I have tried changing ASPECT to TRUE but to no avail. 2. This game always ran slow even after changing DOS4GW to the DOS32A so I tried DOSBOX 0.70 but it doesn't …

I still can't get the game to run without the CD, but don't know why. This is the bat file I am using: dosbox.exe C:\STRATEGY\NEWWORLD\CONQUEST.BAT -c "mount Q C:\STRATEGY\CONW\ -t cdrom -label DISC6 -usecd 0 -ioctl" -fullscreen -Exit I did notice that there is a file on the CD called CNW.CD, but …
