Hi,
let me first say that I appreciate
a) the VDMS program, because it let me run most of my dos games nicely
b) the fact that this is one of the few message boards where you can post WITHOUT having to register
I have following problem:
I installed VMDS 2.04, updated it as requested and installed the Launchpad.
I tried to run "Buzz Aldrin´s Race into space", a DOS game with little in-flight videos (of the space race) running from CD.
The installation did not work because my DVD-ROM is drive F: and the BARIS-Install looked for my harddrive on E: (where my Compact Flash Card Reader is) instead on C:
So I used DOS Box to install and emulated drive F: as drive D: and the program installed nicely to default directory c:\baris
When running with DoS Box however the videos are screwed up and the CD music (which is FANTASTIC!) doesn´t play.
So back to VMDS.
I tried to configure the .EXE (not the .BAT) with Launchpad, leaving the default settings and just adding the low level CD ROM support.
It had EMS enabled with 4096 kb reserved.
Yet when trying to start via the .pif file created by launchpad, I get the error message:
"You cannot execute BARIS because you do not have any EMS. Make sure there is at least 2.6 MB of EMS memory available".
Sad.
Any help GREATLY appreciated.
My System:
Athlon XP 2000+
256 MB RAM
Nvidia GeForce 4 MX 460
NVIDIA On Board Soundcard
Drives:
E:+D: CompactFlash and some other card reader
F: DVD ROM (boot drive)
G: CD RW
