DOS Gaming and ArcaOS
Mathias:
Didn't work for me this way. I have found a solution that runs ElectroBody for me with Speaker Sound:
memory settings: DOS = HIGH
other settings: HW_TIMER = ON
(both non-standard)
Right to the next game.. :D
The great well and known Sim City 2000! (DOS)
The sc2000.exe tells me:
--- Code: ---DOS/4GW Professional Protected Mode Run-time Version 1.95
Copyright (c) Rational Systems, Inc. 1990-1993
You do not have enough memory free to run SimCity 2000
1.904.096 bytes more free expanded/extended memory required
--- End code ---
according to the mem command I do have...
--- Code: --- 646144 bytes total memory
646144 bytes available for DOS
625856 largest executable program size
2473984 bytes total EMS memory
2097152 bytes free EMS memory
2031616 bytes total XMS memory
2031616 bytes available XMS memory
0 bytes available contiguous extended memory
DOS resident in High Memory Area
High Memory Area in use
--- End code ---
Maybe they need this 0 bytes available contiguous extended memory? Mhmm.. how to set this up?
Running the "install.exe" in the same directory as sc2000.exe brings up a weird one:
--- Code: ---Your computer only has 1015 MB of RAM installed.
This game requires atleast 4096 MB of RAM.
--- End code ---
This machine has thousands MB of installed RAM.. grr xD
Dave Yeo:
Simcity2000 ran fine if you let OS/2 create the program object using the DOS gaming database that came with OS/2. Unluckily it has been so long that I forget how to do that :(
ivan:
It might be easier to use the OS/2 version of Sim City 2000.
Martin Iturbide:
Yes, but now the idea is to try some DOS games and check the DOS VDM configurations to make it run ok. I had a different thread testing native OS/2 games.
Regards
ivan:
Sorry Martin.
Are you including win 3.1 games in this category?
