Hey folks,
Was trying to get Gizmos and Gadgets (CD version) working in Win 7 today and got it eventually, hopefully this will be of use to someone.
Basically, the downloadable versions on the Web are all the updated version (timeline- floppy, CD Win 3.1, CD Win 32 bit), so although it will natively open on any OS, it's broken on both Win 3.1 (32-bit apps not openable), and 7 and beyond (MIDI driver error, nothing to do with actual MIDI drivers installed). (Might work on XP?)
Anyway, I finally realised I still have the CD on my games shelf, so I loaded it and it contained both the Win versions, which was pretty awesome. Once I had the Win 3.1 version I could play it through DOSBox.
The only thing missing from the Win32 versions that can be found online as I mentioned is the 16-bit executable, SSGWINCD.exe (versus SSGWIN32.exe).
If anyone needs it, just contact me. Hopefully this will be useful for anyone trying to get the CD version working!
