AFAIR, Entomorph cd have CDA tracks. So - if you have .iso - please go bug the source of this .iso. Tnx.
P.S. To fix this error - install/update Win32s from the Entomorph cd. Delete windows\system\win32s, start Win3x (ignore the message about w32s.386), install.

I apologize for not being more clear: I do in fact have the CD as a bin/cue.

I followed your advice and reinstalled Win32 from the game CD and now the game runs. However, the first enemy I encounter, when I try to attack him the game crashed giving me the following error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The instruction at 88464FFB referenced memory at 104F4E4C
The memory could not be read from

Click on OK to terminate the application
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any thoughts on whats happening here?

UPDATE: I tried installing and running the game on a separate installation of DOSBox that I run off a flashdrive and this time the error message was: NOT ENOUGH MEMORY TO START THE GAME

Perhaps I need to make some sort of adjustment in DOSBox's settings? Or in the Autoexec.bat?

Also, if this is a download, abandonware is not supported.

It isn't

You need to ask the website in which you downloaded the game or get a legal copy then ask us about it.

I already said I didn't download it. I own the CD I just made a bin of it because I'm working on a DOSBox machine that has no CD drive. Just wanted some help getting it working...

I also have Entomorph , it's a &(#!^$()$&^ to get it working.
Try a DosBox configuration that has only 8MB of RAM and install these win32s files , I am sure you will get it working , the game has problems with how much ram you have available 😵

Is that like memsize=8 ? I tried that and got the same result: game crashes when I attack the first enemy.

Ahhh Entomorph! I used to play this on my first computer (486 DX4-100). Thanks for bringing back memories 😀

Not helpful in the slightest but I had to get it off my chest...

yes I think that's the one... you did install win32s right?

Yeah I had Win32s installed already at the beginning of this when the game wouldn't run at all...Then I reinstalled it from the Entomorph CD and the game ran after that...It just crashes at the first enemy...I've tried changing the color depth and screen resolution too...Same results...

well, I 'm all out of ideas...
I couldn't get it running on a real pc but I always assumed it was because I was using a pentium1+128MB of ram ... the game does have the ram issue btw

Another shot in the dark, but try out an SVN built of Dosbox.

And try once disabling all audio in the game.

1) There is Entomorph 1.1 patch.
2) The readme recommends NOEMS option. So - try DOSBox with [dos]/ems=false.

I already had the patch applied and I just tried with ems=false but it didn't work either...

I appreciate all the advice but I may just have to give up on this one...

Did you try what I wrote?

Any reason why you wouldn't just run it in a 32-bit Windows environment? Why DOSBox for that one?

Because in Win95/98/Xp you always get "not enough memory" error.

I use a memory allocation program and it works like a charm. It appears as long as you limit the amount of available ram the game will run fine.
