Another thing I discovered: Some games need a CD mounted to run, but have files on the hard drive for saves etc. Your program doesn't allow me to mount an image and run any file off that image - it has to be an existing file on the hard drive which is a bit limiting. Any way of solving this?

Okay it no longer crashes after I put 0.52 on top of the old version. Can I give a few remarks though? - I miss a "duplicate" feature. I have quite a few games that are very similar and it's a chore having to enter all the same, or nearly the same, data over and over again. I'll give you an example: …

Two things: why isn't there a Windows version yet for 0.52? And 0.50 crashes when I try to add a game. No matter what I try, it always crashes.

Actually, "auto" is default in all CVS versions I download now. But I'll try that, thanks. EDIT: okay, not only does "auto" have to be turned off, you also have to turn max off. With "auto" core still on, it wouldn't work either - setting it to dynamic works. Also, 8000 cycles works too. One odd …

Today, I was recommending some games to a friend, and realised I hadn't tried Pizza Tycoon on DOSBOX yet, so I went ahead and got it off an abandonware site. But after I set up the sound in the install menu and entered the game, I still didn't get any sound. Sound nor music. After trying varying …

Yes but I was talking about emulating Windows 95 or 98 using Virtual PC and those early Windows games often do need a 3D card of some sort.

Last time I tried it was more than just some - it emulated a very crappy graphics card for starters. Only the very simplest games ran flawlessly.

My problem was being 17 and not having mastered English completely yet (I had only started learning English from magazines since I was 13). I always hated word puzzles at that time. Now they're really easy of course - I can read Edgar Allan Poe stories with ease which are considered to be pretty …

Expect a lot of older games to play much too quickly. That's the problem when they don't emulate CPUs - the speed problems will still exist.

Well if you want help, it's not going to easy unless you tell us more than "it doesn't work". There's disk versions of Lands of Lore, there's CD versions, there's ripped versions, etc. So tell us what version of the game you have too.

I got the original Collection and man, was I pissed off when I came accross copyprotection. It was the part in the rocks or something and I couldn't find anything in the manual. Bless Sierra for making their copy protection so intrusive :p

Red, What did you do to get Skynet working? I've been trying for like 5 years seriously to get that game working in 640x480 and the only machine it works on is an old 75mhz which is too slow to do it right. I just built a W95 P2 and I think it works on there, but it errors out the monitor because …

Well when it's the same problem I see no issue with using an old topic - stops people from linking it and going "did you read this?" and consider the matter closed. I can't find this game anywhere so i can't try it for you I'm afraid unless you know a place to get it.

The things you mentioned sound like CDROM access problems - maybe your CD ROM's access speed is just very low? Back when I was using an old backup drive when my DVD drive went bust, I had similar issues with some games. Of course making a CD image will solve the problem since an emulated image of a …
