I am trying to play Dark Sun : Shattered Lands and it seems to be loading ok till it tries to start the game and you see big funny monochrome letters and after that is says invalid line- co80.
I have the newest version along with launchpad.
Thank you
I think it worked fine for me on NT4 (the first game in the series did, I think that's the one) -- there is a web-page out there with all the DSun patches and so on (as well as a link to VDMSound), though I'll be damned if I can find it.
Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I'm also trying to get Dark Sun v1.1 working under WinXP + VDMSound (2.0.4 I believe - the newest release before the 2.1 beta). If I try to run it with VDMSound (even if I set the game to use no sound), it crashes with an error message that is not legible due to the fact that it's running in a VGA graphics mode of some kind.
If I try to run without VDMS (i.e. double-clicking darksun.bat directly), I get an error message that says:
RESOURCE.GFF file not found. path = D:\OLDGAMES\DARKSUN\
But the file exists in that directory.
I tried running in DOSBox 0.60 and it runs fine (even with sound), except that I only have a PIII-550, so it's barely playable.
I tried making a FAT16 partition and running it from there (thinking that maybe it was an NTFS issue) and the same error appeared.
Anyone got any ideas? Vlad? Hellllooooo....
maybe put darksun directly under your systemroot and check the fileattributes.
Water flows down the stream
How to ask questions the smart way!
I tried installing it to C:\DARKSUN instead and that didn't affect it. I also tried making a FAT16 partition and installing it there and that didn't have any effect either. The file attributes look fine (all of them have only the Archive attribute set). Note that it *does* run fine under DOSBox (even with sound) - it's just too slow to play that way on my PC so I wanted to see if it's possible to run under the NTVDM instead (as vladr claims to have done)
