Wolf3D won't start..

Post by PicNic on Tue Nov 03, 2009 1:49 am

When I open the exe it doesn't start, it keeps on wait a moment or something like that, with the memory bars left etc.. Does someone know how to fix this? I'm on XP.

You could see if it works with DOSBox.

I don't like dosbox, too complicated, I'd rather have a simple program

Mounting the C drive

No, not unless you are playing a DOS computer game like The 7th Guest or The 11th Hour that must always be played with the CD in the drive. If you're playing a game like that, then contact me and I'll tell you what to type in.

Also, if you can't drag exe onto dosbox, (in library) you also need to mount.

DOSBox Forums

Post by stathmk on Sun Nov 08, 2009 1:28 pm

I would ask a question on the DOSBox Forums at http://vogons.zetafleet.com/index.php?c=7 if I were you. I don't know how else to help you.
