First: Turn off your Caps Lock. It hurts our eyes.
Now, you will need either DOS or DOSBox. You can get DOSBox via a link on Abandonia's main page (programs). Then you need to set it up. There are guides here to help you with that. One you will find via the link in my signature. Then, you will have to unpack the zip to a folder of your choise. Last, configure DOSBox to use that folder as it's virtual hdd.

well, open the zip, click the first file in it, hold your SHIFT button and press end. after all your files are marked press extract or drag and drop to a directory in your explorer (if you mean that :blink

Use Loadfix and reduce the amount of RAM memory available in DOSBox.conf

Ok, I kinda feel dumb now, the info was in the readme file lol..
But anyhow, I try the "loadfix" thing, n it says, "64 kb allocated" And i try to run Playroom, but it just froze my whole computer. Had to keep mashing my mouse in task manager to close it. I also tried it with, "loadfix playroom," n it said, "64 kb allocated," n "64 kb freed." Same thing.. Just said not enough memory or whateva. Then... I tried other, "loadfix -32," Froze my computer again. So.................... WTH???? :confused::confused::eek::eek: I really just want to play thou this game once, to relive those memories lol. |

First try just reducing the amount of RAM memory emulated by DOSBox. If that doesn't help, then you'll have to use loadfix.
There's a nice page on the official DOSBox wiki that explains the use of loadfix: http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/oldwik...rams%2FLoadFix |

Welp, i tried every way with loadfix as possible, according to the wiki, n still get the lock up error.
When I type in "Mem," It says 63 kb freeconventional memory, 63 free upper memory in one block(s) (largest UMB 63 kb), 31664 kb free extended memory, 31664 kb free expand Memory" Not sure if that helps or not, also here is my set up in the dosbox conf file. machine=vga memsize=32 core=dynamic cycles=max cycleup=500 cycledown=20 Running Dosbox .72, I'm still a newbie at Dosbox, so how do I lower the ram?? Hopfully its not the memsize thing. |
