Priv - can anyone else help any further?

To configure P1 using the boot disk you need to be in the c:\privater directory. Type install.exe and Choose SB16. To set your port 220, IRQ 7, DMA=1. Do this for both the music and speech. Also, post your autoexec.bat and config.sys files again just to take one more look. I think your missing the "SET COMSPEC=C:\windows\COMMAND.COM" in your autoexec.bat.

Also, run the "mem /c > memp1.txt again so we can make sure you have enough memory.
 
autoexec.bat

@ECHO OFF
SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\SBPCI;c:\SOUND;
SET PROMPT=$p$g
LH C:\CDROM\MSCDEX.EXE /D:CD1
LH C:\MOUSE\MOUSE.COM
REM--SOUNDCARDSTUFF--
SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 H7 P330 T6 J201
SET SNDSCAPE=C:\WINDOWS
SET SBPCI=C:\SBPCI\APINIT.COM
SET CTSYN=C:\WINDOWS
LH C:\cabs\WIN95-98\AUDIO\SB1373\COMMON\DOS\SBINIT.COM

I know this last line probably isn't correct, but that's where I found my SBINIT file and I was trying things.

config.sys

REM [Header]
REM == PISETUP Begin Delete ==
REM == PISETUP End Delete ==

I installed PRIV from the start, run, buttons. I did choose the correct install settings. I'm sorry, but I'm confused where you want me to do this ""mem /c > memp1.txt" ..... ie., from bootdisk, just in c:, etc??
 
i only have one phone line, have to shut down and reboot w/the disk drive. Any chance you would want to email me your phone#. I could call you on here using dialpad.com (it's free), maybe talk this through?? I'm harmless lolol, married w/2 small kids.

NOPE, I found it here:

C:\cabs\WIN95-98\AUDIO\SB1373\COMMON\DOS\SBINIT.COM

Mouse seemed to work okay, video was okay, I did notice something while A was booting about an error on line 13 of config.sys, which is:REM [Header]

REM == PISETUP End Delete ==

O'kay we can put this baby to bed. Lori, just need a joystick which supports dos. Her new Logitech Digital Extreme does not support dos.

Oh, well thank you for answering my question about that now. I asked that ages ago, and don't remember getting an answer. :)

BTW, congrats with Priv, Lori. Pity about the joystick, though I never use one - I always use the keyboard... just as on Tarsus. :)
 
Thanks. Dh and I used to play it all the time and really enjoyed it. In all honesty, he will probably play it more than I, with our son, but I do like it too. For being the old game it is, though, we've liked it more than any other.

:eek:
