Tex Murphy: Overseer was a Windows game though, and that was probably a lot harder for GOG and Steam to get working compared to the earlier games.Īnother strategy for running Black Dahlia is by using a wrapper called DxWnd on Windows 10.Ī YouTube video by “IkiFoo” shows how to do it GOG will often say “This game is powered by DOSBox” on their webpage for the game. Most of the early Tex Murphy games are DOS games, and DOSBox is what GOG and Steam use to run them.

Yes, a computer from the mid to late 1990’s or very early 2000’s is the easiest to install Windows 98 on-provided the computer still works, and that there isn’t any problem worse than replacing the CMOS battery, and that the CMOS battery is one of those common coin batteries and not one of those weirdo batteries they don’t make any more.Īlso re: Old games on Win10. Maybe you really need to find a relic from that era, complete with all the shortcomings it came with. Evidence from your experience says it isn’t. It would seem that getting an older game to play on a rebuilt 95/98 era machine should be a piece of cake. I’m going to do this on a spare PC first though. One of the reasons for this thread is to try to help people past any problems encountered in doing this type of exercise so don’t be scared of asking - or helping!įirstly though, once the new discs are checked (I need them to work for the VM exercise) I’ll be moving onto said VM installation. Old discs can be a problem, nearly as much as old hardware, so don’t be surprised if you hit snags. I’ve posted this as a warning to anyone about to try all this. Stripped off the 98SE files into a folder on my HD and I’m now going to burn that as an ISO and then test both discs. Fortunately I own an external USB box for connecting PATA drives so I hooked up an old CD player to it and managed to do a complete copy of the disc as an ISO which burnt onto a new CD. My base PC wouldn’t read that disc which I thought was down to it being a very old CD (from 2003) and using a Blu-Ray drive so I tried a USB external DVD drive but the same happened. My copy of 98SE is part of a multi-boot CD so I thought that it good idea to strip the files out and copy onto a standalone ISO CD so it’s 98SE only. I’ve started the thread slightly earlier than expected as I hit an unexpected snag. I want to make it clear that this is not “my” thread and anyone can chuck in thoughts, ideas, memories, suicidal feelings as appropriate. If you read that thread it will show the initial difficulties found in building the PC (that’s a software build only BTW) so I said, as it was out of context for that forum, to start up again here.

A thread in the Adventure Games Forum regarding Black Dahlia (thread here: Black Dahlia) migrated into trying to run the game on a Windows9 8SE build on a modern(ish) computer and/or to run Windows98SE within a VM on a Windows 10 PC.
