Always create a repertory directly with the root c:/ (Ex: C:/Kyrandia) in which you will dezip the game.
Always carry out files SETUP.EXE or INSTALL.EXE before launch the play if they exist.
Avoid place your plays in repertories too far away from the root, example: c:/documents/abandonware/k/kyrandia, is disadvised.
That can be due to several problems, for that test the following indications :
1 : Place your play in a repertory directly in the c:/ root
2 : If the play has a file INSTALL or SETUP, launch it and to configure the play if possible.
3 : Make a right click on the achievable file which launches the play, make properties, go in compatibility and to test the following functions :
There is only one solution with this problem, creates a repertory directly with the c:/ root and puts y your play abandonware. Example: c:/Monkey.
Certain games have needs for much memory EMS or XMS, other require on the contrary that this one is decontaminated.
To regulate this problem made a right click on the achievable one which launches the play concerned (ex: start.exe), go in properties and to regulate the memory as it seems to you.
Example :
If your game has neither sounds nor musics, look at if there is no file INSTALL or SETUP, if it is the case launch it and to configure the chart its to use for the play, if not to test with Dosbox.
Certain games requires to be launched with a lower resolution and colors, to regulate them made a right click on the achievable one which launches the play concerned (ex: start.exe), click on properties, go in compatibility and notch "to carry out 256 colors thus" that "to carry out with a 640*480 resolution", "to decontaminate the visual topics" is not necessary.
To slow down the game it is necessary to use a speed reducer CPU, where to find some? On google surely, but I you die council to use this kind of software all the same, test rather carry out the play using Dosbox.
In this case there it only remains you very little of possibility, either to launch the play with Dosbox, or to try to use a diskette boot, or then of launching the play under the pure Windows 95 Back or 98.
For you facilitated the task, create a repertory with the name shortened of 3 or 4 letters directly with the c:/ root and put your games in. Run Dosbox, type "mount ' letter of your choise' c:/' repertory destination'", then type "' letter of your choise ':" then launch your play.
Dosbox makes turned much more plays, if they all are not, your lever will be activated automatically and you will be able to make use of it as if you had to connect your joystick on your Amiga.
It is possible to make a screen active window of Dosbox while pressing quite simply on the key print/screen of your keyboard.
It does not remain you then more that one solution, launch the play since pure Dos of Windows 98 or 95. Unless having an old machine beside you this solution remains unusable.
