I'm trying to start Thexder and I get the following message:

There are 2 other noteworthy files (besides bin's ect) in the folder:
INSTALLH and MAKEPATH

When I try to open either of these nothing happens. Any suggestions?


P.S. why on earth is Thexder ESA protected? Laughable. I have the original disk and copied it to HD a long time ago........now I no longer have a floppy drive.

[_r.u.s.s.]

you have copied the contect of the floppy on your hard drive and now get this message? try using a virtual floppy drive and make an image from the files you have then

Thexder isn't protected.
We approved it here.
But Thexder 95 is protected until 2011 because Sierra has 15 years of active protection.
Read FAQ about "ESA".

David: Yes I read that thread. Apparently, I just MISread. lol. Thanks

R.U.S.S.: Ok, when you say image the files you mean like an ISO? From there how does one do a virtual floppy, let alone a virtual floppy from DBGL?

[_r.u.s.s.]

dbgl as in drink beers get laid? but yes, an image just like an iso. google for floppy images

Actually it's Dos Box Game Launcher, I use it because it streamlines the mounting process. I tried and tried to get my keyboard mapped correctly in dosbox until finally someone suggested DBGL.

I'll google the floppy crap and report back, thanx.

Look up WinImage. Handy, that.
I used to to cook up a combination game disk/user disk/bootdisk for Wibarm a couple months back... worked like a dream.
