Play it in Windows 98?

Vlad should really remove that basic vesa support option and just make it a run in fullscreen or something. People always seem to assume that in some mysterious way it will provide them with vesa.

It won't 😀
That's all the same in 2k and 98 🙁
There must be some way to make that game work

That's what I've been saying, but Vlad apparently plans to implement something like GliDOS' VESA modes in the future. I still think he should keep it, but rename it as "start up in full-screen mode".

Any game that brings up "UVCONFIG" as part of it's setup means trouble. Since this a GeForce, it seems that using NOLFB as part of the startup might be worth a try.

Excuse me, but what is NOLFB? 😀

When i running xmen it telling me that " No support video card" and quit, then i lunch it with -u command so now it give me that:
X-Men cannot initialise a 640x480 32,000 colour graphics mode.
Run the UVCONFIG program.
I try to start xman with VDMsound but it gave me an error, when i make vesa support in options.
What should i do?
My video card : Geforce 2 GTS
OS : Win98se and Win2k

With that information, you can get it running in Win98SE.
Unirefresh.demonews.com is down, I'll attach it to this post.

Try using "xmenpc.exe -u" in Windows 2000, but I doubt it'll work. In short, you could reattempt all of Kyl3's attempts. But no guarantees, standard disclaimers apply.

Read this for more info on the issue:

If anyone wants to repeat Kyl3's attempts, the demo of X-Men: Children of the Atom is floating around on the 'net.

......

If you're really desparate to run the game, download the ROMs and an emulator such as MAME, CPS2MAME, Nebula, Kawaks, etc. etc. and emulate the actual arcade game. This isn't necessarily legal but is guaranteed to work.

Colin's opinion is that if you own the game, you own it in all its ports (the gaming industry and legal community does NOT agree, BTW) 😁

Search our forums to see what it can fix.

Why even bother to reply, if people are can't be bothered to search themselves.

Yeah, I know.

To misquote a friend:
"This may sound naive but I like to entertain the idea that maybe some of these people can be liberated. Maybe some might stop and smell their surroundings occasionally. You might argue that a good deltree is liberating for them but I carry a romantic notion that inside every zombie is probably an intelligent person. Albeit a brainwashed future-eater. They need tuning into a new frequency. I think you can tap into that if you offer them some valuable knowledge."

This was in reference to some board-spammers spamming a messageboard searching for crackz (which was all-the-more ironic because it was a messageboard FOR people training up their web-searching skillz), but it still applies.

Besides, who am I to be mad at OUR FIRST RUSSIAN! Welcome, Jedi! 😀

Actually, I should've pointed to "Deep Thought", when I recommended NOLFB. It obviously hadn't been tried, so I should've known that he wouldn't know that it was available on this board.

.

It seems, that this game don't like me at all 😀
It won't work in any of this ways.
She gives me that message all the time :
X-Men cannot initialise a 640x480 32,000 colour graphics mode.
Run the UVCONFIG program.
P.S.A am not so fan of this games to download ROMs with emuls.
I just want to remember my old time 😉

Oh...and one more thing - where can i download VBEplus?

It actually looks quite nice on the emulator with motion blurring effects 😀

Originally posted by Jedi It seems, that this game don't like me at all

It doesn't like a lot of people. Even under DOS/Win9x, this one gave people headaches due to it's display modes.

Axcel216 has it. BTW, Axcel also has a ton of useful information about DOS tools

VBEPlus with the right univbe.drv from the modified.zip I attached should get it working in Win98 with a GeForce 2 GTS.

I looked there and found nothing except dead link to unirefresh site. 🙁
Version of Univbe.drv in X-men 5.3a
I try it on two videocards : Elsa Erazor III Pro (Riva TnT2 Pro chipset) and on Asus V7700 Deluxe (GeForce 2 GTS chipset).
And she telling me it again and again.
I try to sumulate with s3 video cards (uvconfig.exe -s12) - she start to run, but i see just a black window and nothing else. 🙁
I need to try VBEPlus.

Oh, well that's just GRAND.

All the other links I found point to the same dead site (Actually, they're not dead, but in a state of reorganization). Right now, I can't find any valid links.

Stiletto? Mr. Linkmeister, sir? Can you find a valid link for him?

P.S.: Are you trying this on the Win98 side? the 2K side? Both?

Both, i already kill too much time for this game and all fo nothing 🙁
The most easy way is to get some S3 video card, but that's too hard for now 😀

Well, emulating the arcade version is probably the best bet, but that creates all-new headaches (legality being one of them).
