I suspected it would work with any image, thanks for confirming it. And if you are on speaking terms with Eric Traut and you bring this to his attention this would be great. Can't wait for the 5.1 update as AFAIK the also broke some emm386/Dos4gw compatibility... Thanks for confirming it.

Yawnmouth: I tried with running the Freedos that comes with VPC from the hd and it didn't work. Haven't tried yet with putting that on a disk image... As for asking the guy who sent me the disk-image - it's no use asking him about it, he's just an ordinary user as well. It's just an oddity that I …

hmm, the more reason to try it out sometimes 😀

Well, it should crash horribly as OpenGl relies heavily on the glidedrivers of the Voodoos 😀 something to try when I have time 😀 [edit by Snover: noses waste bandwidth. maybe not as much as little smilies, but they look cuter. 😉]

To correct the joystick error see the link I posted earlier with the link to all kinds of wc3 files. There is an update for the joystick detection

I may be too dumb, but I really have a problem with all this and my Voodoo5. Isn't all this Vesa mode stuff still driver related on NT based systems? And isn't what profiler.exe reports just theoretical that might not work in practice? I say this becasue my Voodoo5 has big problems doing 640x480x8 …

Autoexec.bat (from the boot image slightly modifed as cd support is not needed but the fshare to be able to use my actual hd): @ECHO OFF PATH A:\ A:\DOSKEY.COM /INSERT A:\CTMOUSE.EXE SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6 a:\fshare.exe Config.sys FILES=50 DOS=HIGH,UMB DEVICE=A:\HIMEM.SYS /TESTMEM:OFF …

Hi all, I treid for ages to get games like Ultima 8 and the two Crusaders (all three of them are based on the same engine) to run on Virtual PC 5. Every time I would run into Exception.. bla bla bla... Finally I found a post on the Connectix forums on which someone wrote that he got Virtual PC to …

Sorry, I was probably confusing you (might be time for another thread). The WC3 I'm talking about is the old, original Dos version. It provides good looking SVGA graphics (in 640x480x8) and as an alternative crappy looking vga graphics (320x240x8). I can't get the SVGA to work as the screen is …

(shouldn't this probably be a new thread?) [vladr: now it is!] Well, I tried with Wing Commander 3 and got the same log as Fisu: 20:45:39 UNSUPPORTED SERVICE 1234 20:45:39 UNSUPPORTED SERVICE 1500 (the 1500 service repeated over and over). But there didn't seem to be an apparent issue with it, …

ok, so far it seems to work fine but only in vga mode. To start "yet another svga/vesa" thread: Is it impossible to play with 640x480x8 in XP? Or is that a driver/monitor issue? The problem is that when I try to play it in Svga mode the screen is all screwed up like it is on too much Hz. But in ME …

(Finally registered - was about time) well, I tried with my original Version of WC3 and couldn't get it to run. With the patch for the joystick I found on the link I gave above there is no trembling and I can install the game just fine, only it refuses to run, saying it might have a corrupted CD ( …
