welcome to the forum

nope
i've tried everything but I haven't had any luck
and with the exams approaching I'm not thinking clearly
i'm sure there is a perfectly logical answer to this.
but honestly, i'm quite close to giving up

Welcome to the Forum, jello.

Yes this is the correct place for your question.

As for your problem, you do not have to install the game, in order to play it. Just type "star" in the Dos prompt. If you try to install the game it simply copies the exact same files to another directory. The reason the install program is asking for disk 1 is that you probably have crossed out the speech pack. This feature does not exist on the english version.

Keep in mind that this is a German remake of a game in English. Germans, in particular, are not good translators. (Watch out for the occasional mistranslations in the game). And there are very few germans who speak English. That is the reason why speech is not included.

The option is only left in the install program. They probably forgot to remove it.

Hope this has helped you a bit.
(Remember to download the manual and map too).
(Also it took me some time to make them :wink: )

Weird, really.... I tried running the game on disk C, D, E, tried running it from a long directory name.... just can't seem to get that error

When does the error appear exactly?

By the way.

The first game in the Trilogy (Blade of Destiny) is on the way. It is all up to Kosta now. He has all the files. I would suggest you try to play this game before Star Trail.
This way you will also give me some time to try and find a solution to the apparant problems in Star Trail.

I do not have the manual for that game, but you really do not need it.
(The only difference between that manual and the one for Star Trail is the minimum requirements for character creation).

Default re Guru Meditation Error

Using either DosBox or a regular Dos Command Box in Win XP. I have the game files that I downloaded in a directory c:/Dosgames/Star. I change the directory into the Star Directory and type in Star. I then get the Guru Meditation Error in orange letters. If I type install instead of star, I get the message to pick A or B drive.

Wonder if it is just Win XP. Thanks for the help.

I can't understand that Win XP should be the problem, since I use it. When I play the game, I use the DosBox version downloaded from this site.

That works for me. :?

You guys who have problems with red and orange text appearing, can you see or hear ANYTHING from the game? (Pictures, the intro video, music being played...) or do you get troubles immediatly after typing STAR.

I have re-uploaded the game, this time with the installation program so all of you having trouble, re-download the game and install it from scratch. Hope that helps :?

You guys are pretty cool for helping with this problem so fast. I really didn't expect you to answer for awhile.

The orange screen appears immediately after I type star to start the game. There is no sound or other screen or video, nothing but this black screen with orange letters that starts off "Star Trail Guru Meditation".

I will be downloading it again as you have suggested and will try again.

Thanks so much.

Yeah! We rock! 8)

No, but seriously... This site is all about having fun. And playing old games is fun. Not being able to play the game, however, is NOT! So we try to help everyone.

Besides, we do not want to have a game on the site that is unplayable. We try to avoid this as best we can. Therefore it is important that people, such as yourself, tells us about problems that you encounter.


I am also on the look-out for a new Star Trail on the net, so that we can try to change the files. Just in case it is the old file that has a problem.

Don't be modest, you guys really do rock. Thank you, thank you , thank you. I re downloaded the new file as suggested and installed and it works. I haven't really got into the game, but I was so excited that it worked - sound and everything, that I wanted to let you know, so you would know that it worked. And did I mention - Thank you. :P
