| ps!.. before the command line imgmount etc etc.. i have to set the c: unit or it says the "local host or unit" thing... also i have to change slightly the command line you've given to me because the file name in dos is swiv3d(tilde)2.cue... but i think that's not the cause of the cdrom error.. |

Not good, imgmount command works perfect from Z:\, you screwed up somewhere, but I don't really know where .... you don't give enough and exact info.

You have or spaces or your name is too long.
Delete the BIN/CUE and re-create it, be sure to name it
swiv.cue/swiv.bin
Do NOT simply rename it, it would give more errors as the filenames are stored in the .cue file.
You can read, do you? So stop altering the instructions or it will never work.

Hmmmm, the label seems OK, tell me, do you have a windows version on that CD? Look for a winsetup, if yes, rightclick on it and set compability to W95 or W98 in properties tab. Maybe it will work directly under XP.
It will depend of your hardware (mainly your monitor) if it can or not .... |

the compatibility thing was the first thing i've ever tried.... anyway... now i wrote what i do:
1 i create the bin/cue with swiv name (swiv.cue swiv.bin)
2 they are in c:\games directory
3 i launch dosbox.. write the commandline imgmount d c:\games\swiv etc etc
4 the image is mounted
5 d:
6 dosinst
7 in the installation i can't install because it says "the directory name you entered couldn't be created" (the directory name is the default: c:\games\swiv\ but even changing it says the same thing.. now what to do? |

Not good enough, 'etc etc' says nothing.
If you expect me to give you detailed instructions when YOU are even too lazy to type your exact mount lines: FORGET IT. Doesn't work that way friend.

Is your C: mounted correctly? Apparently not. Did you delete the old install folder? That or you don't have write rights.
Try this: when you're on the C: prompt input:
md test
cd test
Your prompt should change to c:\test\ |

1 i create the bin/cue with swiv name (swiv.cue swiv.bin)
2 they are in c:\games directory
3 i launch dosbox.. write the commandline imgmount d c:\games\swiv.cue -t cdrom
4 the image is mounted
5 mount c c:\games (previously i didn't do it because you didn't tell me to "don't change instructions"  )
6 d:
7 dosinst
8 in the installation the directory of installation is c:\swiv
9 c:
10cd swiv
11 swiv_dos
12 swiv, error: no cdrom!
is that ok? sorry for the etc etc.. simply i didn't remember the end of the command line and it was in the previous page so that i had to erase and write it all again  |

Try this imgmount line:
imgmount d c:\games\swiv.cue -t iso
Mind: iso in stead of cdrom at the end, can make a difference.
Delete again the install folder (Whilst in Win, need a dosbox restart, and reinstall the game.
And I do hope you deleted the old bin/cue .... ? You didn't simply rename it?
The old cue isn't valid anymore.
If this all doesn't work I'm clueless, but will ask around to see if there are some mates of me who have that version and if they can run it in dosbox 0.72. |

Apparently it must indeed be another version of the game, probably the one that HotU has a CD rip hosted.
http://www.the-underdogs.info/game.php?id=3122
Seems to be an 'updated' version or so ....

Note: The download here is actually SWIV 3D Assault, the 1997 update of the same game that was published in the USA by Interplay. This version offers 3Dfx graphics and native Windows 95 support, making it the best version to own |
But ... as all HotU downloads are down, can't even testrun it.
More: haven't found your version around here, so I'm afraid I can't help you further.
If you're up to it you could try your version in VPC2004/MSDos6.22, but that's a lot more work to set up then dosbox and no guarantee yours will run in VPC....
I can already say that my dosversion works in it, but not the Windows version.
Up to you to go through the trouble to setup/testrun in VPC or not, if one single game is even worth the hassle .... don't know, I doubt it.
I guess you would be easier to go for the Amiga version on lemonamiga.com and play it in an Amiga emulator. |

I had the same problem. Both in Dosbox and in Windows 98 with the Windows version (running in Virtual PC 2007). I guess it could be a copy protection. I found another exe that did not have the problem. All I had to do was replace the exe. All the movies seemed to still work. I never heard any music though, perhaps it's disabled somehow.
To be able to get past the first level I also had to type in my player name as SWIV!AndLetDie to enable the cheats.

You simply replaced the SWIV exe by a no-CD cracked one.
As long it works .... |

Oh no, how can it be so hard to run this game? I have it too and have the same freaking issue..
OS: Win XP
What I use: Dos Box
Issue: No Cdrom message.
I do the same procedure as the one who did the first post. I did not try the imgmount binary ...that thing raider mentioned. I just didn't do that yet, though I doubt would help...
..im tired, man.
It's hard to bring the past. |

Post subject: SWIV 3D "error : NO CD-ROM" |
|
|
Hi,
I've been trying to play SWIV 3D.
I installed DOSBOX, added in the autoexec part of the DosBox configuration file the following lines:
- mount c c:\dosprog
- mount d d:\ -t cdrom -ioctl
(which work fine)
then I installed SWIV in C:\SWIV (so C:\DOSPROG\SWIV),
then launched SWIV_DOS from the SWIV file, the intro launched then came back to DOS :
"SWIV, errror : NO CD-ROM!"
I don't have the real CD as it's at my brother's place, so he sent me an ISO which I mounted with Daemon tools lite. the D: I mounted is the virtual drive, but I supposed DosBox wouldn't see the difference)
would mounting a cue or bin do the trick ??
what should I do ?
Thanks a lot for your feedback !!! |
