Hello!
So, here now the long-longed solution for Phantasmagoria of 2 problems under WinXP. Sorry for all, which me for it to have asked and I let which wait with my answer up to now. This long text should let all P2-Fans the heart strike now more highly!
Little time bring along, because the procedure is complicated bissel and lasts its time, if there are problems, simply writes!
I do not believe that Sierra still sometime does an impact for the play, am too old, but with MSDOS Patch goes everything.
Loosely geht's:
--------------------------------------
The necessary programs
--------------------------------------
1. VDMSound, a DOS-SoundBlaster16 emulator for WinXP, so that also old DOS plays have clay/tone:
http://ntvdm.cjb.net/
The program must be installed.
2. The Phantasmagoria 2 DOS Patch, which converts the play into a DOS play:
ftp://ftp.sierra.com/pub/patches/pc/p2dospat.exe
This file into a file with any more than 8 letters do not shift (at the best on the Desktop into a file Phant2). Then the EXE file implement.
3. A Win98SE or a WinME Startdiskette. Possess none for all:
http://www.bootdisk.info/modules.ph... & lid=22 op=getit
down-load, empty disk insert and boot98se.EXE-Datei of the non removable disk implement. Now a Win98SE starting disk is provided.
4. The file CHOICE.COM, which is not with Win2000 and XP any longer thereby:
http://www.bnmsp.de/home/frank.haeu... 2003/choice.rar
To unpack with each usual luggage program. The file CHOICE.COM into with 2nd provided Phant2-DOSPatch the listing shift.
----------------------------------------
Before the "Patchen":
----------------------------------------
1. If the Windows version of Phant2 deletes completely from your computer, leave the CD 1 however in the drive assembly.
2. If file of Phant2 shifts your DOS Patch in's root listing of your primary non removable disk (simply on your non removable disk, which is indicated in the job, shift).
3. The Win98SE-Startdiskette puts into your floppy drive assembly and starts the computer again. It makes sure you that your BIOS is so adjusted that the floppy disk drive is as the first boats, if a disk is present.
4. Now COMPUTER WITH CD Rome SUPPORT STARTING (or START COMPUTER WITH CD Rome SUPPORT) selects and waits for the start of MSDOS in the starting menu of the disk.
5. Regard to you before continuing the entry under the line MSCDEX VERSION 2.25. There DRIVE stands in such a way.: = DRIVER MSCD001 UNIT 0 or. The indicated letters of your CD Rome drive assembly before the colon behind DRIVE notices you.
6. Changes now for the drive assembly letter of your non removable disk (e.g. C:).
7. Now listing of Phant2 changes provision width unit with the instruction CD PHANT2 into your DOS Patch. PHANT2 must be naturally adapted to your file name. (know backslash you during English keyboard attitude with the # - key over the right shift key use).
8. Enter now PATCH and the procedure begins.
------------------------------------------
The correct installation of the Patches
------------------------------------------
1. OK ONE, the Patch started. Now once ENTER presses and confirms with J the question.
2. Do not have its CD1 von Phant2 in first CD Rome drive assembly, it inserts please now and tells to the program the drive assembly letter of the drive assembly (e.g. F without colon).
3. _ press ENTER and indicate in follow screen the letter your non removable disk on, on which it install want (again without colon)
4. And again the enter key must suffer. Then indicate to it a listing, where Phant2 is to be installed (in this form:
\Sierra\P2DOS). For problems with backslash simply the # - key take. (see above)
5. Best L selects as installation size, so that the load times are shorter. After successful copying process the enter key must suffer three times.
6. In the configuration menu now approximately that should be located to "SOUND BLASTER" "USE Microsoft COMPATIBLE MOUSE" and "USE MACHINE'S EXTRA MEMORY". Otherwise, changes the points accordingly on these values.
7. Now ACCEPT AND SAVE selects SETTINGS and jumps over the error messages in red with the key Y and/or Z.
8. At the password question simply only ENTER pressure.
9. After the return to the request for input take please the disk from the drive assembly and again start the computer (best with STRG+ALT+ENTF).
----------------------------------------------
Executable-make under Windows
----------------------------------------------
1. OK ONE, we created, now the majority geht's an's preserving. Looks for the file, in it under MSDOS Phant2 installed (it automatically a file P2DOS there put on together with P2DOS.BAT) and shift it (the P2DOS) without the asking file into your desire listing (e.g. C:\Spiele\P2DOS). P2DOS can at will be renamed, may however at the most 8 letters bestizen.
2. In your Phant2-Ordner now not one sublists might be more however a heap of files. Now cannot delete you the DOS Patch file or secure, that now need we no more.
3. Deletes likewise of the Patch listings unnecessarily put on, if the large P2DOS file from it already shifted it.
4. Craze now in your Phant2-Verzeichnis after the file SIERRA.EXE.
5. This SIERRA.EXE with the right mouse button clicks on and selects
CHARACTERISTICS.
6. MEMORY sets all values to the highest possible numerical values and removes the checkmark with PROTECTED in the register, if available. USES HMA must be marked. Clicks on OK ONE!
7. Now a file Names SIERRA would have to emerge in the Phant2-Ordner, which carries a DOS symbol. This is the linkage with the EXE file. This linkage shifts on the Desktop.
8. And goes into the register field PROGRAM selects now here the CHARACTERISTICS of the linkage with the right mouse button.
9. With INSTRUCTION you delete the complete line and enter then the following:
%VDMSPath%\VDMSRun.bat C:\Spiele\sierra\p2dos\p2dos.bat
The listing "C:\Spiele\Sierra\P2dos \" must be naturally adapted to your, but the asking file should rumhaengen together with all other 44 or 45 files in the same file. Clicks on OK ONE! Makes sure you, which is duly installed for VDM sound.
(notes: the character % looks in the text like 96, should be however a percentage sign)
------------------------------------------------
Refinement
------------------------------------------------
1. Perhaps created, now your linkage on the Desktop calls over and gives her a beautiful symbol.
2. Over the play to start on the linkage click simply doubly and already can loose-go.
------------------------------------------------
Smaller lack
------------------------------------------------
1. It can occur that VDM sound slows some video sequences down (particularly the frontispiece) extremely. This is however very rarely the case.
2. Without VDM sound the sound cracks dreadfully.
3. In the DOS version the videos something are low as under Windows, but is hardly noticeable.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, I hope, it could through-find you by my Kauderwelsch of explanations. I am sure me that it also more simply
to function could, but I had it only in this lengthy way get.
Small note to VDM sound:
Most know it surely already however here again the reference. This program can be applied to so rather all DOS plays, which do not give clay/tone of itself under Windows. Even Roland MT32 Midibank is supported. It is on case of each an indispensable program for all fans of the old DOS plays with Windows 2000 or WinXP.
As said, if there are problems or references, simply a private message writes me or writes a Mail down

Ciao and much fun with the Gruseln,
Mm
