Oops, not the install program, I mean it is the program you use to run the game. Install is the installation program... :whistle:

Does that file work under DosBox?

TandyGen90210 30-12-2004 06:12 PM

What? The install program? I don't know. I boot it up from DOSBox and then install and run the game from it so I guess so. Maybe another emulator would work better... :sick:

This is a Dos game, right? DosBox is a Dos emulator...

TandyGen90210 30-12-2004 07:40 PM

Yes, it's a DOS game. Um, maybe it has to run inpure DOS. But DOSBox is supposed to act like pure DOS. GRRRR!!!I am PUZZLED!!!! :cry:

Ok, tell me step by step what you did to get it to work, from the moment you got the game from the net or shop till now.

TandyGen90210 30-12-2004 09:17 PM

That's the thing, I don't know.

Okay, here is how I best remember it.
1.Unpacked files
2.Started install.exe
3.Inserted ist floppy disk with half of the files on it and the install program
4.Installed to the HD.
5.Program started and gave me error messages that kept saying something.xxx was missing.
6.All the files that were asked for were files that were in the unpacked folder so I moved them to the folder with ld2 i n it and then it worked. It went up to the main screen until it froze. The screen was all garbled too.

That running up to the main screen, then freezing... was that under Windows or under DosBox?

TandyGen90210 30-12-2004 11:37 PM

Both.

Very strange. Let's see if I can find the game. Will try here and see if I can work it out.
