Re: Bioshock with EAX

Posted on 2020-03-08, 18:25

So I got a little further, I extracted the .gz file and placed the bioshock.exe in the folder. When I run this, I'm now prompted for my serial number, but it's telling me it's incorrect. I'm not sure if this is still trying to ping the 2k servers at this point.

Bioshock with EAX

Hi All, I'm wondering if someone can help me with this. What I'm trying to do: Play Bioshock with EAX What I have: An XP PC with an x-fi sound card. A retail boxed version of Bioshock. A Steam version of Bioshock I can't install from the retail version as the installer does a 2K games server check, …

OK an update. I got hold of an S3 Virge DX and installed it. It seems GK1 now runs in VESA mode, though I'm not sure I can see the difference. Phantasmagoria runs OK now IF i select general MIDI, won't start if I select the MT-32 audio. I'm going to stick with the S3. Windows 3.11 still won't boot …

Here are the specs: ASUS Spax motherboard (with onboard graphics) 32mb ram P100/133 At one point I had a Voodoo 3 in here, but it stopped me from booting to Win 3.11 so I took it out (story for another day, not a big deal I don't use Windows much on this PC). I put the Voodoo 3 back in, and now I …

Well this is strange, beginning to see things pointing in a certain direction, installed GK1, ran great. For interest, re-ran the install, and instead of VGA selected VESA High Resolution (640x480) with 256 colors. Then the exact same EMM386 error. Setting this back to VGA and the game ran great …

Thanks for the replies, I had found the link posted and tried STACKS=18, 256 (not 16, but will try that). There is also an option in the installer to make a bootable floppy which I've tried. This doesn't error, I just tries to start the game but I get a black screen. The PC is Pentium 100 (I think …

Later Sierra games - DOS 6.22

I recently found Phantasmagoria has an MT-32 sound option so I thought I'd give it a go on my DOS machine (along with The Beast Within). I can't get either of these running under dos, I'm getting an EMM386 error. I've tried a number of configs, NOEMS, RAM at 1, 2 and 4MB. I think there is a v1.1 …

Thanks, you were right, it was the NOEMS that was the problem. Normally games that need it (ie frontier) will complain more explicitly, the error message here threw me off, didn't think it was memory related. On another note, does anyone know if you can get the MT-32 sound AND speech? I have other …
