you need a utility to slow down your processor

 

[chris_blair_fpj]

where do i get one?

 

[Deadeye79]

if you look in the tech support forum on this board i beleieve they have some links to a couple there

I'm not sure that'll work on newer systems very well. Let me look around and see what I can find out with mine...

 

[Deadeye79]

I have used progies like that to play older games though I have not tried it with WC games

Special ed indeed!

Secret Missions 2 runs fine, other than no sound (which I would need to adjust anyway).

Which games are you running?

 

[chris_blair_fpj]

i am runnning wc and wc2 + i need a new copy of the blue prints as mine r lost

 

[Moonsword]

Hmm... Loaf can help you with the blueprints, since I can't just give you the answers. Try looking for a copy of Claw Marks somewhere.

I'll install WC2 and try running that.

Edit: Dangit. I can't get WC2 to install. Time to break out DOSBox and see if I can install it there.

We aren't allowed to post copy-protection info on the 'board? Why not?

 

[Moonsword]

I'm not sure I can. One of the admins would know. Check the 'Rules' at the top of the screen.

Anyway, blair, try DOSBox to solve some of your problems. It'll definitely handle the speed problem, but sound may need a little (or a large) bit of tweaking.

Also, go to www.mypixels.dk/forums/ and register. Post twice and then grab the CVS build of DosBox and get D-Fend. It might help you to have something like that available.

i have a copy of the claw marks all ready the come with the game

 

[Moonsword]

Most of the answers are in there, check the ship description (like the Ralari mass and laser cannon range).

 

[chris_blair_fpj]

most of the time i get asked for things out of the bluprints rather then the claw marks (rember this is the WC/WC2 double pack SE)

 

[Moonsword]

*sighs* I don't have that one, unfortunately. *looks around* I don't have my copy protection answers nearby, either. My copy of WC1 came in a pack that included the necessary answers in the manual.
