My demos in Windows XP... - Clay Dragon - 07-26-2005 Hi, I own Windows 98SE and I don't know anybody near my location who owns Windows XP so I could test if my demos work with it. All I need you to do, Windows XP owner, is to test the two following demos in your OS to see if they run fine. Of course, you should use the proper parameters in these demos shortcuts to run them in a Windows 95 compatible environment in 256 colors. But I'm sure you already figured it out. Here are the two following demos I'm talking about: http://www.cam.org/~clay/krpg/krpged12.zip http://www.cam.org/~clay/krpg/krpged21.zip Thank you in advance for your precious help. My demos in Windows XP... - MystikShadows - 07-26-2005 Hi Clay, Welcome aboard this forum :-). Glad to have you here :-). I have Windows XP Professional on my system. My Wife has Windows XP home edition on hers. I've tested both demos on both systems. i'm happy to report that so far I have seen no glitch, problems, bugs of any kind. The game seems to behave as it should and as it probably does on Windows 98 SE. Good work by the way. There's definitaly Zelda type game lovers around here for sure :-). I know I'm gonna enjoy it when it's done :-). Keep up the good work and let me know if you want anything else tested out :-). My demos in Windows XP... - Clay Dragon - 07-26-2005 MystickShadows, thank you for your reply! Do you, or anybody else, know if DirectQB is compatible with Windows XP? My demos in Windows XP... - MystikShadows - 07-26-2005 Well I can't answer that per se... However I did try a few Direct QB examples that seemed to work fine on my system but I'm not sure if all of DirectQB elements/functions/subs would work :-). I'll let someone answer that part in more details :-). However, there is DOS Box a great DOS emulator for Windows that works great with many libraries. You can get it here (or tell XP users to get it here :-): http://dosbox.sourceforge.net :-) Hope this helps, My demos in Windows XP... - Clay Dragon - 07-26-2005 MystikShadows, thanks again for your reply! If DirectQB is not the culprit of my fourth demo then maybe that old asm mouse program is it: Quote:DECLARE SUB Delay (Time AS SINGLE) Please try it and give me some feedback, I also put the link of my fourth and last demo here just in case you want to test it: http://www.cam.org/~clay/krpg/krpged43.zip Thanks in advance, P.S. I'm tired now so I'll see you tomorrow... My demos in Windows XP... - Ralph - 07-26-2005 CLAY DRAGON & Mystic: As you can see from my 'signature". I am running on Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2. Here are two of my results: I opend the first of your files, krpged12.zip, did all the downloading, and, finally, when I double clicked the resultant .exe file, I got an error message, "The parameter is incorrect". I opened the second file, krpged21.zip, did the above, and got the exact, same message! Mystic, could it be that Service Pack 2 is the culprit, here? My demos in Windows XP... - MystikShadows - 07-26-2005 I dont think so...my XP pro has SP2 and so does my wife's Windows Home has SP2 too. Hmmm..not sure why you can't run them. I think you're right Craig, that mouse part is giving me a problem too. My demos in Windows XP... - Clay Dragon - 07-26-2005 Hi MystickShadows & Ralph, So, you both think that mouse ASM program is the culprit right? Did you compile it to test it properly? Well, if that's the case that would be a great relief for me, I though for a second that DirectQB was the culprit! My demos in Windows XP... - MystikShadows - 07-26-2005 yup compiled it My demos in Windows XP... - Clay Dragon - 07-27-2005 MystickShadows, What kind of problem did that asm mouse program in your OS? |
