Game Title is any, or all, of the following.
V for Victory : Battleset 1 : D-Day Utah beach - 1944 (PC V1.1)
I've tried to run under XP and through both VDMS & DOSBOX, all give the same message, "Sorry, no suitable installation drive is present ~ Press a key to exit" Install then aborts.
Never played this game before, got it in a sale a few weeks ago and don't even know if I'll like it.
It comes on a single floppy and was designed for an IBM PC with DOS 5 or higher and should run on a 286, 386 or 486. The disc contains 5 files, one of which is CHECKSYS.EXE that reports on machine & video setup. checksys.exe comes from Three-Sixty Pacific inc & is v1.1 (1992)
It seems to be trying to detect VESA cabability.
The other files are INSTALL.EXE, two read me files and the data file.
I've searched the net for the error message and I cannot find it
I've searched for the game and it's reprted as 'supported' under DOSBOX.
I've tried changing the machine type in DOSBOX.CONF using all the supported modes, VGA, CGA, HERCULES & TANDY
I've found a thread about a DOSBOX patch that specifies a chipset, ET4000, that's one of those which CHECKSYS is supposed to like, Emulation inside emulation: DOS-based emulators under DOSBox., but I cannot find any reference to a chipset parameter in the DOSBOX documentation
Tried on current pc which runs Xp
GFX card is a new GeForce 8800 Ultra
CPU is a quad core pentium
Tried on old pc which also runs XP
GFX card is a GeForce 6200
CPU is an ATHALON 1900
Sure I'm missing something obvious but I've been trying this for a week now and Ihave no idea where to look for the answer, anyone any suggestions?
