yay! mine works now. The error described way back in this thread(black flashing as if initializing) I managed to fix. My problem was putting the game folder in .vcmi as instructed however it requires you to put the conted of the game folder in there. Copying the whole "Heroes of might and magic...
Also commented in on the repo. I wanted to give this another shot to get it working. When I try to download the latest version form the repo the download does not start. Other things from the repo still work.
EDIT: hmm ok managed to download it in the office. Must have been a temporary hickup.
after I select the resolution I see a black screen flash as if it is initializing but then nothing happens. I put my Heroes 3 complete folder from a GOG install in the appdata as specified. Am I missing something?
well supposedly in runs on a 486 will see if i can do some tinkering
I may put it off till a future pandora upgrade having much fun with other stuff for now anyway :)
although it will be a dream come true to get it running the d-pad and buttons make for a nice play style for this game
hmm got my might and magic 6 to start but it is a real slideshow, well slideshow might be faster :lol:
Are there any tweaks you guys are using either on the windows side or the qemu side?
Gotta find some ways to speed things up. also should i go with cirrus or bochs ?
My pandy is one that...
ha! I will try that. thought that was a windows 95 thing. I remember doing the autoexec.bat and config.sys in the past for that, somehow thought win98 was different.
the game I want to try has a fan made remap tool. was just wandering if the vm would recognize the buttons. guess ill find out...
DERP now I get it I was looking in device manager.
Added the pci-bus now in the add new hardware ->choose device from list works fine
Hmm somehow if i select a disk image or on my laptop share a physical cd drive I see no disk in my virtual windows.
Another question if I want to remap keys...
installing drivers is a pain. my win 98 install is not accepting the intel infenu now.
worked on another install :S to bad we can;t share images of windows :(
will keep trying though I want to play might and magic 6&7 on my pandora :)
Not sure how the first batch orders are handled.
It may also vary from country to country (currently a student in the US) for new orders but I got mine within 4-6 weeks of ordering.
Mine arrived June 28, its been a fun week :)
I actually get wrong on all the security questions even though i gave the right answer is it case sensitive? not that i know how to get caps in opendune shift does not work........
out of curiosity would it bypass this if the data files came from a cracked version?
my screen just gives a flash and the game does not start.
moved files from data and maps
am I missing something?
Like the idea of the dos version by john4p but I only have a windows version and can't seem to find a dos version anyware
