Re: OT: Anybody got Daggerfall to run on WinXP?
Thanks. I couldn't find that link on the main site so I thought it had expired.

Re: OT: Anybody got Daggerfall to run on WinXP?
I'd like to get it working on XP Pro myself, I really miss this gem of a game. The whole stealing and selling to the same store trick made me laugh so many times I still think its funny. And the cries of "Halt! Halt!" filling the air, ahh those were the days...back when I played Space Empires 2.

Re: OT: Anybody got Daggerfall to run on WinXP?
I seem to recall I had it working under XP. But it could have been with the old Win 98 instead. If it did work with XP, it required to trick Daggerfall into not detecting Windows, and then all was fine.
I am pretty sure it was with XP though, since 98 has disappeared from my computer a long while ago. Of course, if I am the only one getting Daggerfall to work on XP, then I guess it means I am quite mistaken.

Re: OT: Anybody got Daggerfall to run on WinXP?
Neither of them seem to want to work with dosbox on my computer.
Of course, if you have some money, you could just buy another hard-drive. A second-hand, 10gig one would do easily. Then, put windows 95/98 on it. Problem solved.

You can make repartition of your main hard drive, convert new small patition to fat32 and install win9x there. Although I'm not sure, whether it will overwrite nt bootloader or not.

Probably will. Just do an emergency repair installation of XP afterwords and it should clear that up... |
