Privateer 2

[Qua Sar]

Hey i got privateer 2 deluxe from a friend to try out (didn't know he had it!) and it instlled fine .. besides the music not seting up correctly i think buyt i went to run it and it does not run... so i went to the directory and clicked dark.exe (before i was doing it from the cd) and it started i load i think and said something about memory then it flashed out of what it was doing (dos looking thing) and went back to windows desktop... any ideas?

I believe I have used a program such as slo mo to play this game, I don't remember exactly how I did this or if I used a patch of some kind. I believe I had problems trying to get my joystick to work correctly in xp with this game. Great game, one of the first directx with WIN95, originally DOS form if I remember correctly.

Try google.

Isn't that a DOS/Win95 game? You need to patch it to 32 bit or emulate the old system in order for it to work. DOSbox is one such emulator, not sure if it plays privateer though.

well i was wondering if anyone was able to get the win95 (deluxer version of privateer 2) to work on WinXP? i mean it instaleld fine it just won't launch ... supposedly you can get it to launch but it runs fast i'm not sure... any help would be great.... it just goes black then dispays something about memory then goes black again then to winXP screen.

before you play the game, do a google search for the prices of all goods everywhere to trade

one of the most stupid things they did was make you guess what to buy to trade where
