I made several attempts to install and run that game, but none of them was a success.
1) I tried to run the installation program from DosBox0.72, and the game was installed, but the setup program to configure the screen mode always locked DosBox (the DosBox window just went completely black).
2) I downloaded VirtualIceMan's config files, unzipped them in the right directory and tried to run the game, but the game just terminated with an error (it said I need to run Setup.exe).
3) I installed the game (minimum installation) on a Windows 98 system. Setup.exe ran correctly, so I configured the sound card with the same parameters I use in DosBox, saved the changes, quit the program, copied the S2 directory from the old computer to the new computer, opened DosBox, tried to run the game and... a screen appears telling me I need to insert the Screamer 2 disc! But it's already in!
4) I quit DosBox copied the 3DFX patch (my final intention is to run the program with dgVoodoo and VDMSound) and the essential files for dgVoodoo into the Screamer 2 directory and finally ran S2_3dfx.exe with VDMSound. Again, the game tells me it cannot find the disc!
5) As a final solution, I downloaded and installed a crack to patch the 3DFX Screamer 2 executable. And again, even with the crack installed, when I run the game, it STILL tells me it cannot find the disc!!! AAARRRGGGHHHHH!!!!! Is there anything else I can try, except to use the CD as a coaster or a target for skeet shooting?
