Hmm... Nope. I tried disabling *everything* in both the game and the emulation (memory management, sound hardware, etc.) It keeps locking up in the first scene of the intro. Maybe it's a timing issue - I'll try some slowdown utilities next.

Sorry to revive this old thread, but I tried running Solar Winds 1 with VDMS v2.0.4 update 1 under WinXP and it seems to freeze whenever the game tries to play a digitized sound effect. I didn't try playing without sound yet though. Has anyone had any success with this game yet?

Just wanted to add another tidbit: I dut out that SLOW.COM utility and experimented with using it in conjunction with SPEEDSET (is it redundant to use them together? Seems to be doing the job...). If anyone is interested in trying or examining SLOW.COM, I've attached it here (along with some other …

So is it pretty much a write-off then? I was excited about testing my old games and contributing my results and stuff...

Well, I got Daggerfall working under WinXP with VDMS v2.0.4 + update1 + emuadlib v1.0.4.4 + launchpad v1.0.0.7. I did the following: 1. Installed the CD I mentioned 2. Copied to the hard drive all files from the ARENA2 directory (and subdirectories) that were on the CD but not the hard drive 3. …

Hmm I could only attach 1 file to each post, so here is the readme. Also, the volume label of the CD is "DAGNT5X" and it has both ISO9660 and Joliet filesystems.

There are only 3 files on the CD, so I'll just post the results here. The MD5 program you linked was a pain in the ass - I had to copy the files from the CD to my hard drive before it would generate checksums for them (and not because it wanted to place the .MD5 file on the CD either). Anyways, I …

A while back (around a year ago?), Bethesda was sending people CDRs to help get Daggerfall installed and running under Win2K/XP. I sent away for one and got it, but it didn't help much (I think I got the game working but it still had the same timing problems as I had under DOS/Win9x that made …

(original subject: BUG: Can't get LaunchPad v1.0.0.7 working in XP - see third post for explanation of why this thread is here ) Okay, my VDMSound version was getting dusty, so I installed update 1 today, followed by LaunchPad 1.0.0.7. Unfortunately, when I try to run FlashBack with LaunchPad, a …
