ok I will try and report back

So it works, thanks everyone for the help, so has anyone had trouble with using a joystick with this or other games cause i can't get mine goin

Mmm... I'm having problems with this game, underv0.72.

I've installed the game using the sound card values and installation type mentioned in page one.

Testing the game agter completing the installation, it works, only it needs the ISO being mounted every time, which is a bit annoying.

So I applied v1.1 update. Again no problem.

But then the game refuses to work. If I don't copy the cracked filesfrom page 1, it just hangs. If I do, I get this other error message (see attached snapshot).

I've tried aplying v1.0 cracks, but they seem to relie on DOS CD mounting programs such as FakeCD, and can't make them work either.

This isn't that complicated and it's been stated a billion times before. Create a cue/bin image of your Mech2 CD. Mount it with imgmount. Install and play the game. It just works. No CD cracks, no fake CD programs, etc.

Is that an automatic reply? 🤣

Look, I understand this might have been answered I zillion times, but I read through the whole thread and didn't see anybody else having the same problem I have.

I've followed the steps in page #1, as I said, as if they were written in stone. Yet, somehow, the game crashes after I've updated it to v1.1.

If somebody can help me, fine. If they can't, well, just say it so and I'll stop whinning about this game, there are many others to be enjoyed and life's short.

are you using a cue/bin pair or not?

Yes, I installed it from a CUE / BIN image mounted using IMGMOUNT.

I don't think the problem relies in this step, anyway, otherwise the game wouldnt have worked after finishing the install process, right?

It's after aplying the v1.1 update that everything goes wrong.

Delete the current installation (best mount an empty directory as c-drive
for testing), use basic cue/bin mounting (all mountings into the autoexec
section to assure they are the same) and install the game.
Check that everything works even after restarting dosbox, then try installing
the upgrade (if that's needed for some reason).

I'll see to that, thanks for the tips.

D'oh!!!!

Found the problem. I feel stupid. apparently my CUE / BIN ISO was already from a v1.1. Just tried reinstalling, then overwriting the EXE files with the cracked ones and works like a charm.

Thanks for your help.

Hi I dont know if i am missing something or I am doing something wrong when I right click the shortcut. There is no option to set the EMS, XMS, and DPMI memory values. I right click properties and all i see is general, shortcut, options, font , layout, colors, and complabity and under advanced didnt see anything about memory. I have xp sp2 if that helps any.

Use DosBox.
