Shannara Problems
Hi Everyone!
I have a problem running this game. Every time I want to start it with shannara.exe the game exits with the following error: unable to allocate memory for the voice directory. Does anybody know a solution for this? Thanks in advance for the answers, and greetings from Hungary. |

Just tested the game in dosbox 0.72, default settings, runs perfect.
So: your mountings/settings are probably wrong. Care to post your OS / mount lines / inputs? Would be helpful to pinpoint where you go wrong.

me too, and i tried various configs, putting the game in various mount virtual dirs, c:\, c:\shannara, c:\whatever\shannara and all worked
by the way, the game control interface is terrible. i just sometimes wanna unclick an object and i always have to find an empty spot on map to do so, considering the fact that almost everything is clickable it turns into a devious pixel hunting

Yep, even drag/drop works.
I wonder how he did to bork that one ....? Let's say we've seen better.

OK, in the attachment is my config file for dosbox. I'm not a pro dosbox user. I have just recently started using it so there could be problems with the settings. Any help would be appreciated. |

I used to use D-Fend until I came across it's update: http://dfendreloaded.sourceforge.net/ No longer do I face the headaches of dosbox. And yes I used to use Dos back in the day, it's almost like Latin. lol |

manbaru- saying that there's headache in dosbox is like saying that there's a headache in counting 7x8. plus, he has the mount commants all right, this problem is probably somewhere else did you try redownload portman? also, try dragging shannara.exe to dosbox.exe icon=S

Dosboxconf looks good.
Still missing some detailed and relevant info: Quote:
Add: Did you ran setsound or install by any chance? OS? What unarchiver did you use? Also: do a cd shannara and a dir /w and post a screenie. Screenies are taken with CTRL+F5 , you'll find it in \progarm files\dosbox-0.72\capture\ Quote:
