Wing Commander CIC
Hello,
I have switched the mainboard of my old DOS PC as it didn't have a PS2-Mouseport which I would like to have as serial mouse are very hard to get these days, though no mouse is needed for WC I need it as I also play other games on that PC.
The PC has a PC-CHIPS M577 Mainboard, AMD 400 MHZ CPU (need to speed down, I know that) and 128 MB of RAM. SoundBlaster 16 CT4170
I had to change my old Config/Autoexec files and I have configured everything as good as possible.
Config.Sys
DOS=High, Umb
Switches /F
Device=C:\DOS\Himem.sys /Testmem:Off
Device=C:\DOS\EMM386.exe Ram
Files=40
Stacks 9,256
Devicehigh=C:\DOS\Gscdrom.sys /D:MSCD000 /v
Autoexec.bat
@Echo Off

Set Sound =C:\SB16
SoundBlaster Mixer Settings
Set Comspec=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM

XMS 65381 565 64816
Total Mem 66112 694 65418
Below 1 MB 731 129 602
EMS 33152 EMS free 32768
Max Avail. Mem 600 KB (614464 Byte)
Largest free block... 2 KB (1856 Byte)
That's my complete setup, now whenever I want to start WC it starts normally but instead of seeing anything the computer reboots. And I don't know what the problem is. WC2 works fine, sound, speech, everything. I cannot figure out what the problem is.
Also I find it strage to only have 91 KB of high memory. I also tried Memmaker on Express and Manual settings and it always stops, claiming not to have enough memory, so I must undo the settings.
I know about DOSBox, I hightly appreciate any help! Many thanks in advance! More information needed? Let me know.
