So, Brian’s gone, left for the property yesterday morning. I messed around until late morning, then got started on changing out the sound card. Guess what? The sound cards I got on eBay don’t fit in the slot that the old card was in. They are useless to me, unless I can figure out where else they might go. And I just am not that savvy right now and I don’t want to do it.
But I refuse to give up. If the old Virgin game 7th Guest runs under the win98SE OS, then why won’t the newer 11th Guest? And, damn it, I want to play Under a Killing Moon!
Looking at link after link, I finally find two that look promising.
I find one for Under A Killing Moon with instructions for running it in Dosbox.
I’ve tried Dosbox before, wasn’t really thrilled, would rather run DOS, but at this point, I’ll try anything.
I followed the step by step instructions and guess what? I’m playing Under A Killing Moon! The sound is a little choppy, but I think I can live with that. The video seems to be okay.
Then I went to the link Ifound for setting up the 11th Hour in a windows environment. The longest thing about that was defragging my hard drive before set up.
I installed the Trilobyte patch and the 11th Hour now plays in Windows, I don’t have to exit to DOS. Yay!
Now that I’ve got that done, I’ll most likely not turn on that computer for another six months.
