I believe the SBlive emulation being active causes Priv to hang, at least for me. This is with or without sound activated in installation. So: sbeinit.exe ON sound in install OFF = hang sbeinit.exe ON sound in install ON = hang sbeinit.exe OFF sound in install off = runs fine sbeinit.exe...

My gamepad didn't.

Riotact: I dunno, I have heard of a driver mentioned here called "soundfx" but with no other details: usually for WC games people use VDMsound or something like that, which works for all games in the series but Privateer 1. Wedge: It seemed to run at normal speed with no sound card (and...

On the bright side, the game still rules. But I only got one bounty for killing governor menesch, Goodin didn't mention it when giving me the next mission and said "Remember me?" or something, which is pretty ludicrous since I'd talked to her like 5 missions ago.

I'm not sure the set and device business work for the SB Live in dos without "turning on" the soundcard with sbeinit (sb16 emulation) and once you do that, privateer hangs at least for me at the dos prompt. So I kind of doubt I will get it working without an alternative driver. VDMSound or...

Well, the problem is that a keyboard and certain types of keypad are digital, so when you pitch up you pitch up at maximum "speed" and if you want to move the crosshairs by a quarter of a cm on the screen that sometimes doesn't work. With a joystick I think I could finish a lot of fights...

Here's the new problem. SB Live comes with a dos driver, Sbinit, and a dos settings changer sbeset. The problem is, when I run C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\SBLIVE\DOSDRV\SBEINIT.COM the soundcard turns on fine: but the system hangs when I try to run Priv! So it was probobly the sound card all...

I don't think my soundcard is active in dos now at the moment, however. It's an SB live so I dunno if those are even meant to work with dos, I don't think I've played Priv with this sound card. BTW, Dionysos used to be my ICQ handle (until a particularly offensive pornographer decided he...

I'm not sure all those "set" commands are doing anything, they just come in a big row like A:\set yahadayada A:\set yahadayada A:\set yahadayada A:\set yahadayada all at once, with no delay, no other information... perhaps there is some dos driver that no longer exists. At any...

I'm not sure if those "set" commands still work. The end of my autoexec comes in a flurry of the set commands without any comments or delays like in olden days. And at any rate the installation program won't recognize an SB Pro/16 at 220/7/1 even though that's clearly what the setting is...

Victory The following setup worked. Autoexec.bat SET TMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP SET TEMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP SET PROMPT=$p$g SET winbootdir=C:\WINDOWS SET CTSYN=C:\WINDOWS SET GRIP=C:\GRAVIS\CORESO~1 SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\GRAVIS\CORESO~1 SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 H5 P330 T6...

Yes, that is what I meant, pardon. Also under an early version of 98 as well. However, with 98SE's dos mode it simply sits there, with no error message at all, until I reset. Enormously frustrating. I just created a boot disk with system c: a: and autoexec and config.sys of my own design...

Heya, I probobly don't have the comp power to run VirtualPC dos, and so I tried the boot disk autoexec and config files in the boot disk thread, which my computer sadly felt was inadequate. Do I need to do that old system c: a: trick or whatever it was to make a boot disk? Very eager to...
