Running cd-rom game on dvd-rom drive
This is the first time i write a long technical support report in English, so do correct me if I'm wrong.
- Game used in testing:Star Trek the next generation: " A Final Unity " -Test Using Dos Box 0.72. - Problems occurred - The game needs a CD-drive and cannot install it whit a DVD-drive. The next action i took was to inspect the game CD archives,and luckily i found a zip-archive whit the needed game files in it so i didn't need the installation program anymore. - The next problem i encountered was running the game it always said: "Cant locate game archive check path.ini" I cursed couple of hours whit it and changed the path location in the .ini file. After i changed the file information i got the game up and running ( ). I Enjoyed the moment and the i realized how silent it was, the sound was missing again messing whit the .ini file paid up after changing the sound blaster variable to Sb 16 or something like that but its one of the sound blasters listed in the dos box file. - The game runs very well but there is some problems: - cant save the game - controls stagger slightly Technical Summary Cd-games can be played in DVD-drives if you have the game, and you know what you're doing feel free to destroy your sanity. Reverin. PS: i have two other arcade CD-games what work without a hitch. |
