According to an Elder Scrolls wiki somewhere Redguard should be playable in DOSBox, but it isn't. It keeps giving me an "out of memory" error. I checked on the DOSBox forums and it seems DOSBox isn't capable of playing games over a certain memory requirement, which sadly includes Redguard. So how else can it be played? I know of GliDos, but I'd rather not use VDMSound like it says you must. If that's the only way, though, there's not much I can do. I do have a couple older motherboards lying around with a Voodoo card but I currently don't have a case or a hard drive for them yet. So my WinXP PC is my only option.

Anyone else get Redgaurd to work on a modern system?

I haven't yet, but I also haven't yet given up or exhausted all avenues. I just got Daggerfall running a couple months ago, and every time I have time to play, I can't be bothered to work on Reguard.. *heh heh*

Well crap. Sorry, should have done a forum search first I guess. Thanks for that.

Will it work on Vista 64-bit?

Well I tried it with the SVN version of DOSBox that apparently supports Glide. I actually got Redguard working with the regular DOSBox release by setting the memsize to 63 in the config file. But I can't get Glide mode to work in the SVN DOSBox. It gives me this error:

ERROR!(17) Error initializing graphics mode.Source file information available====================================================Occurred in	  main.cAt line		  1053Object manager information====================================================Error code	   2Description	  Manager not open

I'm getting the exact same error. What does it mean by "manager not open"? :wacko:

Did someone get the license plate on that truck that just raced by?

Anyone familiar with ImDisk as used to bypass the invisible quest-related spawns glitch on XP? I'm also using Turbo to slow the CPU and VDMSound, my Dagger/Bat file reads:

DOSDRV
imdisk -a -s 50M -p "/fs:fat32 /q /d" -m e:
imdisk -a -s 50M -p "/fs:fat32 /q /d" -m d:
fall.exe z.cfg
imdisk -d -m e:
imdisk -d -m d

While it loads well enough, it doesn't appear to solve the glitch.
Should I mount the Dagger.Bat as ImDisk virtual disk before playing? To a different letter than those specified in the Bat file?

EEEK Help! :brokencomputer:

And don't say DosBox - my system isn't fast enough <_<

(P.S. I own Daggerfall, btw)

Thanks to anyone who can help!

I still can't Redguard to play sounds... no matter what free methods I used that the forum guides listed.

Probably best to detail your processes - have you tried changing the soundcard through VDMSound setup? Did you extract SAPUCDEX.EXE into the Redguard drectory? (assuming you were following this guide: http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=195)

That's a quote from Calvin & Hobbes :twirl:


...finally realised that my previous post is in the wrong thread. Doh!

I'd like bump this question. I have XP 64-bit. I have the DOSbox (0.72), and it runs Daggerfall fine. Will I be able to run Redguard? I've already got a big enough headache trying to get Grim Fandango to run on my computer; will Redguard give me that sort of hassle regarding anti-aliasing, 3d acceleration, and direct draw? :wacko:
