Warcraft Orcs and Humans
Posted: Mon 01 Jan, 2018 5:54 am
Hello,
I am trying to play Warcraft Orcs and Humans from a legally owned disk on a DOS 6.22 system. It installs fine but setup/game will freeze when I try to run it. (CPU activity drops to 0, blinking cursor forever). The docs suggested to disable smartdrive and EMM386 which did not help. I even tried to run a 'blank' DOS boot (F8 on startup, no to all options) to no avail. Patched to latest 1.21 patch.
Specs of emulated system:
PCem v13.1 (post WXwidgets static DLL update)
486DX2-66
Award SIS 496/497
32MB RAM
ATi Graphics Pro Turbo (Mach64 GX) set to "Fast VLB/PCI"
SB16
FDD1: 1.44mb
FDD2: 1.2mb
HDD1: 63 Sec/16 Head/4095 Cyl = 2015mb
HDD2: CDROM
rest default
Anyone have any ideas on things to check?
Thank you
edit: New info, seems every later VGA DOS game freezes now. They worked before... strange. Not sure what's up here as I didn't do any changes other than install Warcraft
