The Fifth Horseman Yes, but not directly from the site.
Stay around and be active on the forum for a while and you'll gain access to the ISO Cellar. Where you can ask for the full ISO of this game.

Johnnyb69 I downloaded Star Control 3 from abandonia but, they stripped the voice files....is there anyway you could offer them for those that want to take the time to download them?

dhaas Thanks for the help! Now I've got the game running, but for some reason whenever I fight battles in the game mode, the computer automatically takes over (and loses a lot of ships stupidly). I'm sure there's an option somewhere to fix this, I'm just not sure where. This isn't a technical question so much as a cry out to anyone who knows the game. Where can I set the option?

dosraider You seem to have missed the dosbox readme, more especially the cd mount instructions.

That's a nice readme for Mac users:

Scroll down for MacX.

dhaas ok, so I got things to unzip, but now when I run the program I get the error "unable to open the voice file on the CD-ROM. Verify that the CD-ROM is in the drive. You might also check the VOCDATA path in the LEGEND.INI file".

I'm running it on Dosbox, so everything is in a single mounted folder, and the VOCDATA path in that file is '.', which I'm assuming means current directory.

Why am I getting this error? Am I missing some file?

dosraider Seems the download is a WinRAR selfextracting file, needs Windows to work.

If you haven't access to a Win PC you could try UnRARX for Mac.

That's my best shot as WinRAR also works on RAR selfextracting files in Windows.....
Or find a Win PC, uncompress and burn the CD.

Slightly Unrelated Question about SC3

So I downloaded the game from abandonia (I don't have the cd), but I can't get it to run on dosbox. The readme.txt file says to run setsound.exe and sc3.exe, but the folder consists of a bunch of starcontrol3.part n.rar archives, where n ranges from 1 to something like 40 or 50. The first file (starcontrol3.part01.exe) is unzipped, but won't run in dosbox. When I try to unzip any of the .rar archives, I get an error from stuffit (I'm on a mac).

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Japo Star Control 3 is FOR WINDOWS (9x). Maybe it has an executable for Windows and another for DOS that you're using, I can't remember, but it should work in Windows at least in compatibility mode (someone confirm since I played it when I had Win98).

My initial thought: Have you tried to increade the cycles in DOSBox? If set too low, it may very well increase loading time. Mind you though, that DOSBox itself is rather resource hungry and that you will need a rather powerful pc to run more complex games at a satisfying speed.

Yep. Tried that. When I cranked it up past 2000 things started to get jumpy hehe!

VMD solved my troubles tho! :brain:
