    Privateer error code

    Dervish It´s not "good form" to gatecrash/hi-jack other peoples threads. It doesn´t take too many interruptions of that kind before the thread becomes impossible to follow ;) Start your own thread, there are lots of people out there that are willing to help. If you post on an unrelated thread...

    Privateer error code

    I just went out to brush my teeth and had a thought in the process! Checked the config.sys you posted and there is a basic error in it. Your post:- Device=C:\window\himem.sys Dos=high,UMB Devicehigh=C;windows\emm386.exe ram The line with emm386.exe MUST come before Dos=high,umb This is...

    Privateer error code

    Are you SURE the path(s) are correct? DOS is very much an all or nothing setup. I had this problem years ago (!) and can´t exactly remember how I fixed it. Try choosing one of the lines from your config.sys that give a eror message ie. C:\windows\emm386.exe to test your path. Do the following...

    I am not familiar with Myjemm ( I use a MSDos bootdisk -no probs) but there are a lot of people out there that do.If you want qualified assistance, you will have to be more specific. i.e. post the following: Your hardware (especially soundcard) Your operative system Your config.sys and...

    qustion about adding the expansion pack to privateer

    The MSDos CD version has both a priv.cfg and a rf.cfg in the default installation directory and both have the same structure. ie. priv.cfg points to priv.tre and rf.cfg points to rf.tre. Good luck!

    The only way to play old stuff

    Privateer/MSDos/Built in sound chip/USB mouse I have an Esstech sound chip and use a Win95 sound driver to get MSDos compatibility. (Esstech do not have an "official" MSDos driver). As far as I know, MSDos and USB each speak a "language" that is totally incomprehensible to the other party.

    Problems using midi with a Soundblaster 64 in Privateer

    Privateer is quite tricky, even before you play it! You can try changing your soundcard driver ( it´s a bugger of a job, but worth it!) Look in:- www.creative.com or www.driverguide.com Good luck

    Possible to play WCP 100% from Harddrive?

    A couple of years ago I found a nifty program on the net called FAKECD. I used it to overcame the problems I was having with an ageing – and damned slow – CD drive. It was however a MS Dos program and I seem to have lost it. The is a chance some enthusiast guy has made a similar program for...

    Need an FLCS user guide...

    It might ring a bell with Thrustmaster if you order the manuals by Part Number: F-16 FLCS Part No. 900-0008-005 F-16 TQS Part No. 0900-0013-000 Otherwise check out this site: www.flyfoxy.com They have what looks like an interesting download for programming the flcs. I haven´t tried it yet...

    Privateer refuses to start...like always.

    I’m assuming the following (correct me if I’m wrong):- 1) You are using a bootdisk (floppy) to boot your machine to pure DOS 2) Your config.sys and autoexec.bat are NOT the same as you previously posted (30/10 at 23:09). 3) You now have a DEVICE line in your config.sys that loads a sound...

    Privateer refuses to start...like always.

    re: Joystick and sound. Are you saying that the ONLY line in your autoexec.bat is “@ECHO OFF”???? If so, try adding the following line: SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 T4 J200 N.B. 1)Your gameport is probably “on” your sound card. If you don’t tell DOS that you have a sound card, it doesn’t...

    Privateer refuses to start...like always.

    Try going back to basics. ALL of the problems I’ve had with getting Privateer to run have been self-induced. Simple mistakes are damned hard to find especially when you are on the verge of despair! The following have worked for me in the past: 1) Check that EMM386 really IS in the directory...

    Privateer refuses to start...like always.

    Sorry Wedge009. However the first line of his mail prior to my reply seemed to call for reiteration. You are right though, the path to EMM386.EXE is important. I’m so used to using a bootdisk that it slipped my mind. RiotAct218, my apologies for not including the path to EMM386.EXE in my...
