I have the same problem with that version. I was uncertain if it was just me or not. I can't seem to find an old DOS version to test. If you'd like to PM me a link to it, I'll try it out and get back to you.

The guidelines are so that we can help you . Anyway, I'm downloading the game from The Underdogs. It looks like their bandwidth cap is at ~26.2KB/s (or there are just that many people downloading), so it'll take me about 50 minutes to download the game. Then the testing will begin (at least, on my …

Not to dig up the dead, but while I was perusing the same old site I made, I found this: Q: I get an error message that I need a VESA-compatible video card or VESA-compatible drivers. What is VESA, and where can I get it? VESA is the Video Electronics Standards Association's video mode standard, …

Here's an interesting thing I found while I was randomly perusing old sites I'd made in the past. It's an EMM386 line. It might help. DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE RAM I=B000-B7FF I=CC00-DFFF I=E000-EFFF I=F000-F2FF FRAME=E000 As you can see, there are many more memory locations for EMM386. Try …

If you're referring to "Out of this World", there is a Windows port available at Home of the Underdogs.

That's really, really odd. Have you tried DosBox as an alternate thing? (.55 was just released! 😀) Just a thought. Otherwise, 'till you provide stuff outlined in the POSTING GUIDELINES, we can't do much.

At least you can change the requirements... there are other installers that won't. ANNOYING. Good to hear it works, though. I did the same thing regarding the INI files, so don't feel too bad about it all. 😜

It can only be disabled by unchecking the box when you see the TotD. It runs as a DLL (ugh), so either your TipOfDay DLL is broken or your RUNDLL32.EXE is broken. The easier of the two problems is to fix the TipOfDay.dll, which is to run a "Repair" operation on VDMSound. Someone else would have to …

This sounds like a problem that has been experienced by at least one other person here. Do you have a RAID or extra HDD controller? Things like that could cause the problem by not allowing EMM386 to load in memory by taking up too much space. Make sure that in your CONFIG.NT goes as follows: DOS= …

Why not? I mean, it IS for DOS sound support, and CD audio IS a part of DOS sound. In any case, I know C++ now, so GIMME, BIAAAATCH! 😉 (Welcome to open source. Me am coder, me can change files. Mwah.)
