Yes, that is the best means unless you want to attempt to get it to work with your software. I would strongly recommend you use the dxr board and be done with it, even if it is just for this one game.

Since you couldn't possibly be pirating materials (since that is out of the question), I would suggest that you take your original disc, put it in the drive, and make a new iso from that. Since the WC series was so old, there is no real copy-protection on the discs. Nothing like SecuRom and...

The WC1 CD version that I have shows 213 files in 9 directories for a total of 18,606,601 bytes, according to a dir /s command. How is mine different? It says on the cover of the disc "CD-Rom Deluxe Edition Plus The Secret Missions and The Secret Missions 2 Crusade". It has a little film like...

Odd, I only see the following 3 stickys for this forum: Sticky: #wingnut v2 - Come To #Wingnut, Or Else! Sticky: Forum Changes! Read me before complaining! Sticky: Secret Ops Episodes Not that it really matters or anything. I found the rules under the FAQ and didn't see anything...

I just wanted to let the community know that someone (not me) is selling 10 copies of the DVD version of Wing Commander IV. According to the auction, this is the dual-sided version of the disc, not the compilation version of 6 CDs. Here is the link...

My CFG files are the same as yours. Unfortunately, I have not idea what they indicate since it must be some wacky format. I did find those on my computer. I guess I just don't really remember the CD version very much from a long time ago. When I first got the CD back in like 1991, I don't it...

Here are my Autoexec.bat and config.sys settings: [Autoexec.bat] SET EXPAND=YES SET PATH=C:\DOS LOADHIGH C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:mscd0001 /L:F LOADHIGH C:\MOUSE\mouse.com SET SOUND=C:\SB16 SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 E620 T6 SET MIDI=SYNTH:1 MAP:E MODE:0 SET CTCM=C:\CTCM...

I was very disappointed in the movie. The ships were not really that well done and the entire plot just seemed off to me. I wanted to see far less drama and far more action with the Kilrathi. When I think of a Wing Commander movie, I envision something like Starship Troopers with more space...

I have a dxr2 board sitting on the shelf. I do not have any DVD software already on this computer. I pretty much took an old P3 500 and wiped it clean then installed Windows 98 so that I could still have access to DOS (since ME doesn't appear to have the same). My existing video card, the...

The problem with DosBox is that it doesn't ever get to the point where I get the Z: prompt. It just sort of sits there with a blank window, no text, nothing. I think that the app hangs. I know how to use DosBox since it works on my P4 computer. I really didn't want to use it as I would...

I am using a boot disk to pure DOS but the computer also has Windows 98 on it too. When I run Wing Commander 2 Deluxe CD, I get sound effects, music and speech. I have 610K of free DOS memory so I don't think it is that. I think it has to do with that stupid origin.bat loader program that...

I installed the Wing Commander 1 Deluxe CD that includes both the Secret Missions and Secret Missions 2. I have the Sound Blaster AWE64 ISA card. Every other game seems to work fine with this card. I also turned off my CPU cache since the game was running way too fast. The only problem is...

I just won the Wing Commander IV DVD (Dual Sided) one off of Ebay for $5. The seller didn't even list it in the title but sold it as part of a 4 game set. I had to ask the guy which one it was and he said it was the dual sided single layer one. Hopefully it arrives in the next week or so. My...

I have the ISA Sound Blaster 64 AWE and everything detects fine. I run the DIAGNOSE.exe program and it shows that everything is detected and it tells me what the address ranges are (220 and 330) and it gives me the IRQ and Lower and Upper DMA values. But when I try to use Midi in any of my...

I just got Privateer up and running on my P3 500 machine that I had sitting in a closet for the past 2 years since I got my P4 PCs. I always felt like I should hold onto it since it ran Win98 so well and there might be a need for me to do it. I knew that some games, like Master of Magic...

I got an ISA Sound Blaster AWE64 and it all works correctly now. I forgot how much fun that game was. I also now remember how awful that first ship that you get was. Talk about slow. I ran into a problem getting MIDI to work though. Everything works fine when running as Sound Blaster PRO/16...

I received my Wing Commander Acadamy DVD series from Commissar in the mail yesterday and was really impressed with the quality of the transfer. Obviously it isn't a production DVD but for a VHS to DVD transfer, it turned out extremely well. I am watching them on a 35" TV and the pixelation is...

I am running Windows 98 on the PC but am using a pure DOS boot disk for the games. When I turn off both the internal and external CPU caches, the game has the feel like it is playing at around 5 Mhz instead of around 16 Mhz like it should be. When I run WC2, the loading screen with the...

I tried everything possible to get WC1 and WC2 to play correctly but an still having trouble. I tried to disable both CPU caches. It ran way too slow. Then I tried only internal cache, still too slow. Then I tried only external cache, still too slow. I then went with MoSlo. I ran at 10%...

I think that I'm just going to try picking up an old authentic Sound Blaster (or Sound Blaster Pro) ISA card from Ebay since my motherboard has an ISA slot. I am shooting for something that will run both my old pure native DOS games as well as the early Win95/98 games. Should I go with ISA or...
