Thanks for all replies so far. I have managed to get it to work, actually I switched the boards back and forth and suddenly some flaws that were present earlier were gone. I also reinstalled Wing Commander to be sure. But also the SoundBlaster is recognized better (some games were not...

Sorry, I have been searching the web while I typed this from my notes, The SoundBlaster is A220 I5 D1 H1 P330 T6 (the standard SB16 settings), must have accidentially missed that line. As SB16 uses IRQ5 the printer IRQ7 is free, also no printer installed. I like to use the Testmem:Off flag as...

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...

Hi, maybe you can help me with this issue: I just bought a replacement for my joystick, the old Gravis Pro died. I think it was a cable problem as it wasn't recognized by Windows 98 nor any DOS game, even replugging it didn't work as sometimes gameports don't stick tightly. Got myself a...

Well... The computer is an old Pentium Pro PC running DOS 6.22 which I built myself for playing DOS games, everything works fine now, the config files are ok too, what I find most interesting is that the WC1 installation works fine, just as wrote above. I tried to copy it to the harddrive and...

Hello everybody! I got myself a copy of a Wing Commander Deluxe Edition on CD-ROM some time ago. I can install Wing Commander 1 and all Secret Missions without any problems, selection of the CD-R drive works fine (the installer files are dated Y94). When I try to install WC2 And Secret Ops...

Cute kitten in the photo, the yorkie really looks like a wookie... maybe I'll post some photo of my little scratching creature here too... How about it, interested?

Yes, I matched up the IRQs. Concerning WC2 I must say that I had some problems with my CD-ROM Version, I couldn't install the main game from the CD, but I still have the diskette version as well... I think the installer insists in CD-ROM being drive D:\ ... mine is F:\ (having 3 partitions in...

Though I posted it already in the other topic... I also had the above described error on my computer, but I have now found another reason why it occurs, and also how to solve it. As it was stated here that this error is caused by soundcard or memory issues I also thought about that first...

It's me again... Have to say that I have been playing Privateer on my old DOS computer for a several hours now. Everything is working, no errors, just one crash. Last night I plugged in my Win ME computer's harddisk and installed DOS and Privateer. Since I didn't change the configuration I...

Well... speaking about DOSbox I must say that I cannot get Privateer to work correctly, I get no sound, even if I use the config layout which is available here and working for most of you, on my 933 MHz P3 I never get sound... on this XP computer (2700+ Athlon) I am also unable, not a clue why...

I just played around with my old Pentium again, and for some odd reason I smoked my SCSI harddisk... the power connector always fitted very boldly so I just removed the plug and the connector in one piece. The drive actually only had 340 MB so I will get myself an IDE 10 GB drive now and will...

As for me I also prefer cockpits. I was only happy to be able to turn them off while navigating though an asteriod field in Wing Commander (Kilrathi Saga version). I always hated it when I got hit or even destroyed by some rock which I just couldn't see because of the cockpit being turned on. I...

Do you also have little Kilrathis? I got one roughly five months ago, and since then this little black girl turned my life upside down. So how about you? I must say that my favorite action of hers is when she jumps in front of my screen just in the worst moments. I think I replayed over a...

Hello there! First of all, yes I am serious, I still do own a DOS computer. It has specs as follows: Pentium Pro 133 Mhz (already slowed down by multiplier, actually it's a 233 Mhz processor) 32 MB RAM (could add another 64, but no need for that) MS-DOS 6.22 Creative Labs SoundBlaster CD-RW...
