DOS Games Discussion

[olskoo1]

You guys probably get a question like this all the time.

Ok, Windows XP has no MSDOS mode. Great isn't it?

Well, how do I go about something such as installing Tyrian2.0. Everytime I click on SETUP, something that looks to be like a Dos window opens, then does nothing and vanishes.

Is there a way to get Dos for my computer (since i'm on wnxp)?

Someone pleeeeeeease help me (i love this game!!!). All I need to know is how to get this thing installed. I've read the other article about actually playing it and stuff.

Thanks!

ok, did some research and stuff on my own.

i found "command prompt" in windows. and i downloaded DosBox (but can't figure it out)

Using command prompt however, i was able to use it with conjunction to TPPATCH and MOSLO. However, game still does not work.

Using tppatch, i was able to get to the "setup" screen of tyrian. Great, now if I could just play the game...

Using tppatch, I could not play tyrian.

Using moslo, I also could notp lay tyrian. I continued to get run time errors no matter what values I set it.

I never get into the games. It's always in DOs Mode where I get the run time errors.
