I have experienced the same problem as others in here concerning the message:
"you need a CD rom drive to play this game"
For me pressing "f" or having a CD in my drive didnt do anything.
So I've tried to follow some of the instructions in here.. but...
I still can't get it to work!
I have the original game. I can install it and play it - without sound because the game doesnt recognize my soundsystem. So I figured if i try it throug the dosbox -it could simulate the Soundblaster system and i could get sound...
I'm no Dosbox wizard and I'm not sure I understand fully how it works - hope thats not required!!
But I have the game installed on my hard drive d:. When I open dosbox and try to run main.exe from my d-drive. The missing CD rom drive message pops up and I go nowhere.
Then I've tried to run setup (by dragging setup.exe onto dosbox.exe) but it stops after detecting sound - again nowhere.
In dosbox I've tried to mount drive c as my CD-rom drive, which is e:
Then I've mounted drive d as my d-drive - where the game is installed.
Now I can roam around in the game's directory (both e: and d
and I've tried to install it again from there. This worked fine in the beginning - but when it comes to "detecting video system" it can't accsess (?) benchmark files and the install/setup stops.
When I type "main.exe" from "within" dosbox it says: setup needs to run first (or something like that) - but i cant complete setup!!!
I know this is an long. long explanation, but this is the only way I can do it..
hope anyone understands what I have done, and would like to do!!
Any help is welcome!
Thanks
