Hello,
I 'm recieving the following error trying to run Star Wars Dark Forces that I have never seen before:
I have run the setup.exe file multiple times, configured the sound to run with soundblaster 16 and the tests work for both MIDI and digital but then when I launch dark.exe with dosbox the error remains before the game launches and there's no sound.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
See that your game files are not write protected.
I am aroused about any X86 motherboard that has full functional ISA slot. I think i have problem. Not really into that original (Turbo) XT,286,386 and CGA/EGA stuff. So just a DOS nut.
PS. If I upload RAR, it is a 16-bit DOS RAR Version 2.50.

Just check if the files have "Read only" attribute, and if they do - just clear it. Once I could not change sound settings because of this.

I just checked and none of the files in the directory folder are set to "read only".
What's even more strange is that I just tried to install the game again from scratch using DOSBox with the "install.exe" file. When I run the install it detects my C drive as having "-1" available free space despite there being over 200 GB available and then when I proceed through the install I'm provided with the error that there's not enough disk space on drive C.......
in the DOSBox readme is a solution for this, -freesize or something

I just tried both "-freesize 61955" and "-size 61955". It changed nothing.
The installer is still claiming there's "-1 k" disk space even though there's 284 GB available...
I just figured out the solution.
I ran the "install.exe" file and chose the "express" sound card install instead of the "custom" option that I was before. Despite the custom choice sound tests working without any problems during playback, for whatever reason the game wasn't saving the setting after the setup.exe file was exited.
61955 is a alot of space for dos games

That's what the game claimed it needs for space in order to do a full install.
Either way, the problem is resolved and it had nothing to do with disk space.
