Ir = city buvia doesn't mean anything - but when you say Ir-buvia it sounds like "mess" - an old witch came to a city and turned everything around and now we have to clean things up

Here's the error message I get when trying to run it under Windows XP: .�� '�� ' �� .2 '�� I don't know what it means... To Colin: I don't know how to set this so this can be read in Hebrew... Geocities is a bad host, Robo... if we all download this, we'll surely cause you to exceed your bandwidth. Here's hoping my download didn't do it.

Stiletto Oldbie Joined: 2002-07-01 Posts: 1116	Similar error message in Windows 98, Robo. Hmmm... I'll try it in Pure DOS when I get home tonight. (Note: The DOS4GW provided by "Boobia City" is v1.8.) And it -feels- to me like a homebuilt game. We'll see once/if I get it running. _________________ "I see a little silhouette-o of a man, Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango!" - Queen Stiletto

Stiletto Oldbie Joined: 2002-07-01 Posts: 1116	Replacing DOS4GW with a newer version causes no effect. It actually breaks the batch files, which contain commands/switches for DOS4GW before execution. (ie DOS4GW v2.01a is not forward compatible with the commands/switches.) In fact, in Win98, the whole program crashes with: A fatal exception 0E has occurred at 0028:FF0E1230 in V sbemul(06) + 00002C80. That's on a stock Gateway PRO-S P4-1300 SE. (Sbemul.sys, that is...) Here's what seemed to be credits at the end of the executable. Maybe we can figure out who made it.

Robo Newbie Joined: 2002-07-19 Posts: 38	Don't worry about the bandwidth I'd rather have the game fixed and exceed it Sorry about the UHARC - you can find it here: http://www.geocities.com/masautil/uha.html Just rename uha.dat to uha.exe The error message is probably "error in sound card" The game was made by MAHSHEVET - an israeli company that made MOD (the link Stiletto gave) too. Pictures can be found here: http://www.masagames.f2s.com/hirbuv.php3 I hope this info helps...

Stiletto Oldbie Joined: 2002-07-01 Posts: 1116	So unless I'm mistaken, "Upside Town" is a kid's/"edutainment" game. Just up Nicht Ser Gut's alley. Haven't found a download link for the game yet, but I have found a few places to buy it. http://www.cdaccess.com/html/quick/upsidetpr.htm http://www.softwarecheaper.com/product1148.html Hmmm... I don't have any kids.... Nicht? _________________ "I see a little silhouette-o of a man, Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango!" - Queen Stiletto

"Upside Town" was produced by "Softkey", which became part of the "Learning Company", which has (apparently) become Broderbund.com. Searched their catalog and found nothing.

Stiletto Oldbie Joined: 2002-07-01 Posts: 1116	My previous experience with Br0derbund is that their tech support absolutely sucks. Wonder what they'd say if we contacted them about a Softkey product? http://support.broderbund.com/techtips_...asp?id=126 At any rate, one of us will have to purchase the product to help Robo. I doubt we'll find this on any warez sites (although you guys are welcome to try). Or we can continue experimenting with Robo's copy (the URL of which he thoughtfully provided). _________________ "I see a little silhouette-o of a man, Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango!" - Queen Stiletto

Stiletto Oldbie Joined: 2002-07-01 Posts: 1116	Then we need to find a warezed copy to test. That's rather unlikely. Tested Robo's copy on my home PC in "pure" DOS last night.

Snover WHAT WHAT IN THE BUTT?! Joined: 2002-06-30 Posts: 5199 Location: You are likely to be eaten by a grue.	Are there any switches you can use to force certain sound options? Did you make sure your BLASTER= line was set? (type "SET" to see if it is). Have you tried copying all the files on the CD to the game directory? (Unlikely this would fix it, but worth a try nevertheless. And, err, IS there a CD?) Is it possible that perhaps the game's sound files are missing? (Kind of an out-there proposition, but it could very well be the problem, if the sound never worked to begin with, and especially so since you uploaded it.) Now, this IS an actual purchased copy, right? Because I know that sometimes files (like audio) are stripped from the game to make it easier to download illegitimately. _________________ Colin Snover Zetafleet Web Development Believe it or not, we have posting guidelines always.

Robo Newbie Joined: 2002-07-19 Posts: 38	The game has sound. I heard it myself. I had to run a file called ess.com first (that is how I load my sound driver. I tried to use set blast=....... but it didn't work) It isn't VERY important and it works sometimes... I'll just let go... Thanx for all the help!

If I ever get a spare $20 to spend, or if we ever get a copy another way, we'll let you know and pick this subject up later. _________________ "I see a little silhouette-o of a man, Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango!" - Queen Stiletto
