It was a no-go unfortunately. The DOS install program starts for DW2 and no longer gives the SuperVGA error, but now it just kicks back to the desktop for seemingly no reason shortly after.
Trying to reuse the shortcut that LaunchPad created just crashes Windows Explorer.
Thanks anyway though.
Hi,
Discworld 2 DOS Problem with the VBE-TEST(VESA-TEST)-Program. Its more a Graphic-Chip TEST Program!
I had the same problem on my AMD 1.4GHZ
Geforce2 card
WinXP Pro DirectX9 SP1
My soulution: copy the files via Batch file!
And avoid Graphic Test files 😀
make a disc.bat file
edit the source=Discworld1 CD
edit the installation folder=maybe c:\discworld2
REM SET Your Source and Destination on your own
REM SOURCE=Discworld CD 1 !!!!!!!!
SET SOURCE=E:
SET DEST=C:\Discworld
mkdir %DEST%
mkdir %DEST%\CACHE
mkdir %DEST%\SAVE
copy %SOURCE%\DOSCONF %DEST%
copy %SOURCE%\DW2.BAT %DEST%
copy %SOURCE%\DWB.EXE %DEST%
copy %SOURCE%\GERINS.IMJ %DEST%
copy %SOURCE%\INSTALLD.INF %DEST%
copy %SOURCE%\RM.DRV %DEST%
copy %SOURCE%\SAMPLE.AD %DEST%
copy %SOURCE%\SAMPLE.BNK %DEST%
copy %SOURCE%\SAMPLE.OPL %DEST%
copy %SOURCE%\SETSOUND.EXE %DEST%
copy %SOURCE%\SETUP.EXE %DEST%
copy %SOURCE%\TITLEDOS.BMP %DEST%
copy %SOURCE%\UNINSTLL.EXE %DEST%
copy %SOURCE%\*.lst %DEST%
copy %SOURCE%\*.dig %DEST%
copy %SOURCE%\DW2\*.SCN %DEST%\CACHE\
Yeah and now it works. Because the program cannot start the VBE-TEST Program!
