Ok, but what about that path in the bat then? It points to a CD in the D drive with the name KOM. It implies that if the CD in the drive, mounted or real, is named otherwise, that would result in a "wrong CD" error, doesn't it? Does the image file contains the correct name then?

EDIT: DOH! Of course it does contain the name! :wallbash: I just remembered my own ISOs and Daemon Tools.

2nd EDIT: Sezzubus: What exactly did you do with the bat file? If you changed the d: path, then just change it back again.

mount c:\games\kom

That's a funny thread afterall.

Your mount is wrong here.

imgmount d d:\KOM_THIDNEY.iso -t -iso
mount c:\games
c:
cd kom
kom
or
komcd

I guess the game expects (and looks for) the files/subdirs in C:\kom\ NOT in C:
With your mount line game can't find a \KOM folder, only the files/subs directly mounted as C:

MAYBE .......

[Sezzubus]

Nope! 'Fraid not my man.Same result unfortunatly

Also, I changed the bat file back after it didn't work, yup yup

THIS GAME WILL BE THE DEATH OF US ALLL!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a stray thought: Try set the game up with NO sound whatsoever. You don't need to turn it of in the DOSBox config, only in the game setup. See if this makes any difference.

Tried that one matey.

It doesn't have a no sound option at all, pretty much cuz the game is very sound focused I'm imagining.

Thanks for the idea anywho!

Game runs, but crashes randomly. (2006-09-26 14:52) Dark Jaguar
While this game seems to be almost perfectly emulated, the one issue is that whenever a movie file is loaded, there is a chance the emulator will crash. The chances are around %15 or so. Other than the attempt to load an FMV every time it crashes and total stability the rest of the time, there doesn't seem to be any other corrolating stuff going on. The game's cinematics are loaded directly off the CDs, if that helps.

Random crashes seem to have stopped (2007-06-06 11:53) Dark Jaguar
The newest version doesn't appear to crash randomly when playing FMVs. I'd say the game is perfectly emulated now.[/b]

Not that it gonna help much, but the game is listed as fully supported and compatible@Vogons.
So there is probably something wrong, maybe a bad (corrupt) ISO ?

AHHHHHH!

Who is this person and why isn't he helping me RIGHT NOW?! Mysterious basterd stranger! Not reading my mind and all!
Yeah, I have trowled the net and find some, get it working fine and many, have the same probs as I tho no answers are to be found!!!

I had this game back in the day and had the same problem , but a mate fixed it for me.

I was fine when I could go into pure dos mode.It worked fine.But my matye fixed this prob for me in dos window.but he's long dead...


Or lost, I forget which...

it certainly COULD be a orrupt file, but I 'm gessing its just...


A CRAP GAME!!! OH Whhy do they have to make such a blessed game so bloody hard! Why I ask you?!

Ok, rant over :P

OK, what we're going to try now is going to be a notch drastic, but seems like it's the only thing we can do without getting things mixed up worse than they were before.

Start by deleting the game from your HDD (the copy installed in C:\Games\).
Now, create a "DOSGames" directory on your C drive (directly in the root of the drive).

Open up your Dosbox.conf and go to the end (after where it says [autoexec] - the entire procedure is a variation on this).
Add the following three lines at the end:

mount C C:\dosgames -freesize 700
imgmount d d:\KOM_THIDNEY.iso -t -iso
C:

Save the modified config, start DOSBox, go to D: and install the game from there.
See if that will work.

What you can try to find out if the ISO is valid:
download WinRAR@ http://www.win-rar.com/ (IF you don't have that yet) and try opening your ISO with it, WinRAR can open a valid ISO. Extract it to a temp folder, you may delete it afterwards. Just to know if WinRAR can extract it without error messages.

It's not 100% proof that the ISO is good, but it's a fairly good indication.

BTW: how big is that ISO? Maybe you can up it somewhere and PM me or one of the other guys where we can down it (NO torrents for me- rapidshare pref, I down a full ISO in 15 minutes there ). So someone can try things out.
Just a thought, depends how eager you are to get that bit** running.
