    Wing Commander doesn't start anymore

    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...

    Wing Commander doesn't start anymore

    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...

    Wing Commander doesn't start anymore

    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...

    Can't get joystick to work properly in WC Armada

    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...

    WC2 Installation Problem

    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...

    WC2 Installation Problem

    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...

    Origin Games in DOS

    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...

    Privateer Error Code: D002-FFFF

    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...

    Origin Games in DOS

    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...

    Origin Games in DOS

    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...

    Origin Games in DOS

    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...

    Wing Commander 3: Cockpit or no cockpit?

    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?

    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...

    Origin Games in DOS

    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...

    Short Video of my 7 Gratha models

    Really great work! Keep it up! I think there should be a WC remake. We already have one excellent fighter model. Great!

    Kilrathi Saga Problem

    I am really surprised to hear it is working on Vista. I must admit I am not a fan of Vista at all. Seriously... I have been working with several computers which had Vista preinstalled by factory... and a Vista system without tweaks is worse than flying a Broadsword against a Darket... Glad to...

    Kilrathi Saga Problem

    Thx DaveO! I have figured out the solution of the problem. Yes it was linked to DirectX, but not as I expected. The main issue why it didn't play was a scratch on the disc, and I have been playing around after I resolved the disc problem. It seems that the DirectX problems occur after...

    Kilrathi Saga Problem

    Hello everybody! I am new here, but I am not new to Wing Commander. I have been playing the Kilrathi Saga once more in the last few days. Wing Commander and addons work fine. But when I start Wing Commander 2 it always crashes during the intro and I get a 'ddhelp...' error. I have seen...
