abandonia takes isos and puts them into "iso cellar" accessed for people who drop by once in a while. but you need a registered name so the forum will recognize you. did you register?

Yeah i have, i might need some sorta of software to rip the whole game to a Virtual Disc Image i might!

Okay, I checked several pages and saw no solution - how do you make this game stop running so fast? DOS Box doesn't work so I don't know htf that is working for anyone - it says "This program is for Windows 95" or something if I try to launch the setup or exe in DOS Box. Compatability mode in XP won't slow it down either. I tried to use that CPU Killer program but it's useless junk that just locks up when I try to use it and doesn't do anything. The game is unplayable to me because it's just TOO FAST. The character's motions are moving lightning quick. I remember this game as a kid and would love to play it but I can't play it like this. Anyone have a legitimate and helpful answer to fix it?

You can find this by typing "slow computer down for old games -cpukiller" into google:

(as recommended by Apogee)

Get the Windows one. In dosbox you can just change cpu cycles.
It's better than cpukiller, imo, though I've never had that lock up.

but i don't see the problem with running this in dosbox...

When I try to launch in DOS Box it tells me it's a Windows 95 thing and never opens. That's the problem. Unless there's a way to trick DOS Box into thinking it's not a Win 95 program - it won't launch it. I'll give that a try and hopefully it works.

Humm, well not to double post but the program looks to be DOS based only and uhh, the game won't work in DOS. The game runs fine in Windows it just runs too fast. I need a Windows based slow down method that works, DOS Box will not launch the game. Here is the screen capture of the error it gives when I try to launch it:


So what can I do?

Okay.That's why it doesn't work in Dosbox, then
I haven't downloaded the game yet - not my thing, really.

Dude... you need to organise yr games better.
That must be a real pain in the arse to have to type the path in everytime cd progfil~1\baldie~1\baldie~1.

You know, if you put all yr old games directories into one folder (like c:\games) then you can just put a line in dosbox's startup.
> mount c c:\games [or whatever directory you choose. user\desktop\freegames eg)
> c:
> dir/p or /w
and you've got all yr games in one directory change. You could make the folder names shorter, too, as dos doesn't recognise long file names and it's annoying to have to type ~1 all the time.

You could try downloading the windows software from the link I gave you:

It'll slow down yr computer to the speed you want it.

If yr running this from windows desktop, you can also right click - properties and choose the Compatibility mode.
Maybe running it in Win95 mode may help.

Never makes a difference for me, tho...

FREEgames are the shit ones you get on Facebook.
CLASSIC and OLD games are good.

I did, it told me it only works with DOS based programs and not Windows programs. When you open Moslo it just opens a terminal and then says press any key to exit - like you're supposed to run it from DOS. But it says it doesn't work well with NT based emulators in NT, W2k, and XP. So I have no idea how that would work.

*sigh* I need to just build me an old gaming rig for these old games and save the hassle of this stupid emulation crap that doesn't ever work right or the incompatability issues with newer versions of Windows. Been on my to-do list for awhile now. Ironically, it will be far more difficult to build an old gaming machine than a current one...
