Unrelated problem (probably not the solution you're looking for): your memsize doesn't appear to be nearly large enough to run SW. Try beefing it up to 24 or 32 instead of 16. I remember getting errors with later versions of the game when trying to run at 16.

There's a hotkey you can press that will refresh the drives - Ctrl+F4, I think?

I'm trying to get BadMilk to work in Windows XP. The game runs entirely from the CD, but instead of running, the game tells me to install Quicktime 4 first (which is included on the disc). I already have Quicktime version 7 installed (and upgraded to Pro with a key that a friend gave me). The last …

The original Warcraft: Orcs and Humans seems to only have the MIDI music available, though it does have an intro movie if I remember right. This is based on the version included in the Warcraft Battle Chest, though.

From what I understand, OPL3 has a few extra registers/channels over OPL2, but not very many games supported them for some reason.

I've got a Sound Blaster X-Fi (ExtremeMusic, I believe) and my problem here is very similar. The sound card's recording volume is just too quiet. I have microphone volume turned all the way up (in both Playback and Recording), the 20dB microphone boost feature is turned on, and still it's too quiet. …

Champions of Krynn...that's one of those AD&D Gold Box games, isn't it? It sounds to me like it's looking for a blank floppy disk. If you don't have/want to use a floppy disk, you could try creating a directory elsewhere on your hard drive, and then mount that as the A drive through DOSBox. (You …

I had this error too, but I managed to fix it by manually editing the install.dat file in the game directory to point to the virtual directory instead of the real one. I spent a week trying to get past the SysInit error and only just today managed to figure that part out. Anyway, after fixing the …

If your copy of X-COM is the "Gold" edition, then I recall that those weren't actually DOS programs - they're Windows ports, albeit very shoddy and unstable ones.

What the game is apparently trying to do is create a save file on the CD-ROM drive (which you have mounted as C, which is usually a hard drive). So try this instead: Mount an empty directory as your C drive (C:\Temp, for example) and then mount your CD-ROM drive as D. Then Cyberia can create its …
