First post, by T6600C
Hello, I've lurked here a long time and read things, but I now would like to ask you for help and start participating.
I have been trying to get two games running on my T6600C for about a week now, with little success.
The first is MOO2 (Master of Orion II). This is a fairly late DOS game, but will run easily on my hardware specs. When I tried to install it, it asked for VESA.COM - I got around this by installing it on another machine under DOSBOX and copying the result back. This still asked for VESA.COM. I eventually found the VESA drivers for my machine, and then it errored on DOS/4GW saying that it was dividing by zero. I tried replacing DOS/4GW stub with DOS32A, same error - so it's the code itself, which makes no sense. I tried patching to various patch levels, including 1.31 and the unofficial 1.40 - same errors.
The second game is Jazz Jackrabbit. The version I am trying is the CD version. I install it, no issues, run setup, choose sound blaster, it detects my blaster variable, all is well, and then I go to run the game. It says "Please run SETUP.EXE to configure your sound card". I press any key and it dumps me back to DOS. All SB-related settings do this. It has no Adlib setting. I tried pro audio spectrum and that crashes (my card isn't compatible, just wanted to know what would happen). The only setting that lets me into the game is PC Speaker - which works, but it sucks horribly as half the fun of Jazz Jackrabbit is the awesome music.
This is all with SB compatibility drivers running btw.
I though that my problem was usin' DOS 7.10, but I just set things up with DOS 6.21 and am having the same problems.
I even tried installing Windows 95 on the box (which runs "ok", 486-DX2-66 & 16MB RAM), but it threw VESA errors at me for MOO2 and the vcard apparently doesn't support DX, so I can't run the Win95 version.
Update: I did some thinking and decided that the VESA driver must be bad, and tried searching around again. I found an official Toshiba VESA driver for this machine and it works! This fixes MOO2, but I still can't fathom what's wrong with Jazz Jackrabbit.
