The whole game that originally came on floppy disks. I DON'T want the huge priv.tre and rf.tre files that have all the audio.

Well Stinger, I can't explain this. If I switch the EMS memory to certain values such as 3072 the game will not freeze up until 1:56 minutes into the entro (when the missile hits the green alien ship). Another odd thing is if I don't load my mouse driver, it freezes up right away! Certain...

Don't know if priv.exe is corrupt or anything, probably not. But I you can try mine: http://www.8dn.com/dkb/temp/priv.exe

Hmm Could you get it from him? I'm trying to send it to my friend who is gonna see if he can install it on his system.

Can someone who has the OLD Privateer 1 game (the game that doesn't have the 150 meg .rf files) on floppy disks. I have the gold edition, but it's too big to transfer over the net.

phooey Well, in reply to the 1st suggestion, it screws up at 16384 and all other values, above and below. And i've messed with all possible irq combinations (220, 240, etc) and DMA settings. The sound DOES work fine, but it only last 3 or 4 seconds before the computer freezes up (In the...

Well, I think this is the only possibility I have to play Privateer 1 in all it's glory. Someone said not to get a PCI because they cause problems with old DOS, so what about a Sound Blaster 16, ISA card? They're only a few bucks. Currently I have a SBLive. The music works but the sound...

...sigh... Darn, we need to get them to release it so someone can make a windows version! They're not selling it anymore, so I don't see the big deal.

Heh, okay this is kinda a dumb question, but did Origin release the source code for Privateer? I'm just wondering...

It works...somewhat Well, the good news is it worked. It was a convential memory problem (Oakcdrom.sys and msdex were taking up a wopping 70K!). It starts up fine, plays the midi music great, but freezes up whenever there's speech longer than 3 or 4 seconds. I think this has happened to...

Well, surprise, surprise, i have a Privateer problem. It seems that no matter WHAT I do in terms of editing the config.sys and autoexec.bat files I continually get the nagging message of "Insufficient DOS Memory to run this program. Please consult manuals, blah blah." I've tried freeing...
