Crimson Skies and dgVoodoo

Posted on 2021-04-24, 17:33

OK, stupid noob questions. I have Crimson Skies running in Win7 using the csfix (a dll, ini, and exe) but there is a major issue with frame rates, about every minute or so the fps plummets to slide show levels for a minute or so then returns to normal ...makes aiming near impossible. Read somewhere …

running TSR in DOSBox

Posted on 2021-04-24, 17:06

First posted about this game/TSR over 15 years ago, no one had a solution. It's back, lol. I still enjoy the ancient Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe (Oh, the hours I wasted ...er, spent ... with it 25-30 years ago) and have run the base game via DOSBox in XP and Win7 with no major issues. But there …

Re: Win7 32 bit

16 bit games play fine in 32 bit XP or Vista, but is 32 bit Win 7 just completely incompatible? Whatever works in Vista should work in Win7. Any particular problem? That's what I thought, but any older games I try on my Win7 system merely give me that popup about incompatibility (they all worked …

Win7 32 bit

Posted on 2018-02-23, 06:08

in Windows
16 bit games play fine in 32 bit XP or Vista, but is 32 bit Win 7 just completely incompatible? Having wasted a couple of evenings seeking an answer, only to find a plethora of threads about people trying to run 16 bit games on Win 7 64 bit, I assume either no one has tried 32 bit Win 7 or I'm the …

Gazillionaire sound

in Windows
Or lack of it. I've played Gazillionaire on numerous systems over the years with no problems; in fact a few years ago it played fine on the system in question. Dug out that old system recently, put in a new HD, reinstalled XP, and Gazillionaire now has no sound. I have checked all sound drivers and …

Superbike World Championship no CD

in Windows
For once I'm not here with an issue running a game (running the setup and game in W95 compatibility mode works fine on my Vista 32 system). But I want a no CD patch so I can stash the disc. A search led me, of course, to gamecopyworld, but the patch they have is only a "launcherdialogdll.dll" file …

I read that info and there is no mention of that being compatible with Vista, only up through XP. There's no mention of F!Zone being compatible with Vista either, now is there? :blah: I think it's worth a shot.

Sometimes there are multiple .EXEs in the install folder which run inside the other. Try setting all of them to Win9x compat. mode. I've tried everything from W95 to XP compatibility. No luck. FWIW, this is the W95 install folder (there is another for W3.1): Volume in drive K:\ is Elements …

Well, the wrapper merely gives me a pop-up that it must be run in x64 architecture. Disconnecting the network had no effect. It's odd that Fury 3 itself installs and runs in Vista with no problems but the official add-on won't even get past the initial setup; I wonder if it seeks something in the …

Yes, DEP and UAC are disabled on this system so everything is "run as administrator" by default. That wrapper is for 64 bit systems, it wouldn't run on my computer.

Fury 3 F!Zone

Posted on 2015-03-02, 11:06

in Windows
Fury 3 runs fine on my Vista 32 system but I cannot install the F!Zone add-on package. The installer hangs at the "searching for installed components" screen and must be shut down via Task Manager; I've tried W95, W98, and XP compatibility mode to no avail. Tried copying all the files to a sub- …

Chronomaster error mesage

Posted on 2007-04-10, 20:06

Have been trying to get Chronomaster to run with no luck. Whether in VDMSound, DOSBox, or just clicking the exe in explorer, I get the same message: DFMEM: Aborted, error=2 Attempt to reference invalid handle. I have tried virtually every combination of parameters in DOSBox (0.61 and 0.70), …

Re: chronomaster error message

in DOS
The game lists on this site say Chronomaster works under DOSBox 0.63; I d/l'd DOSBox 0.70 and had the same results. Whether DOSBox 0.63 or 0.70 or VDMSound or just clicking on the exe I get the same error message. Have tried numerous combinations of parameters in each program - and get the same …

Re: off-center graphics

Well, this is an often asked question, so I suggest you read some recent threads regarding this topic. Hint: Configuration options "fullresolution", "output" and "scaler" may help, as well as your graphics card's settings. I typically run dosbox with the RobyDosbox frontend, which shows these …

off-center graphics

Posted on 2007-01-27, 21:17

Several older games which I have working under Dosbox or VDMSound are off center on the screen when played full screen, often far enough that essential info is inaccessible. I can use my monitors adjustments to remedy this but then must reset them afterwards. Is there a way to get these games to …

Re: PT Boat

Posted on 2007-01-27, 21:14

Thanks for the info. I didn't have a readme; the dosbox I'm using came with either RobyDosbox or DFend and has been buried on my C drive for ages (til, duri ng a housecleaning, I recently unearthed a box of old games and got sidetracked).

PT Boat

Posted on 2007-01-20, 21:09

I can get PT Boat (from Alliance Interactive) to run via DosBox, even get the (very poor) digital voices; but I cannot get the mouse to function in-game. My normal cursor moves around the screen and there is a game cursor frozen in the game screen. I had a similar problem with Enoid which I cleared …
