Running SH1 on Win XP Help please.

Telemon · 05-28-12, 10:08 AM

Greetings Good Gentlefolk.

I***8217;m trying to install and run SH 1 on WinXP using the instructions written by Don Wells. Unfortunately I cannot access some of the files required as the site appears to be inactive.
These files are:-
VDMSoundLaunchPad.v1.0.0.7.zip
VDMSound.2.0.4.update1.zip
VDMSound-2.0.4-WinNT-386.msi

Can any one help with a good link or post them to me please?

Greetings,

Belay that last pipe.

I've just discovered DosBox.

Hey Ho, here we go.

A couple of questions now that I've found dosbox.

I have two HDDs C and D. All my games are on D. (Old games in folder Dosgames).

I ran Dosbox and mounted C D:\Dosgames
Got the message that "Drive C is mounted as local directory D:\Dosgames.
I then typed D:\ but got a message Drive D does not exist! You must mount it first!"

Am I right in thinking that I can only use my C drive for dosbox and all my games must be on the C drive as well? If not can some kind soul tell me what I'm doing wrong and what the solution is please?

Also is it possible to write a batch file for each game with a desktop icon (example please)?

Keep it simple please.
