So many things to think about!
Ok, can anyone confirm that the Abandonware version of Super EF2000 simply doesn't work?
I get the same errors on my:
- P233 MMX
- 64 MB RAM
- Matrox Millenium II PCI
- Creative Sound Blaster 16 Plug and Play
- Running Windows 98 Second Edition.
I get the same error the first time I run it unless I turn off Speech within the first two seconds of starting a mission (using the ~ key). After enabling Speech and then getting the error, I no longer get any sound or sound options when I launch the game, even after a re-boot.
BTW, I unchecked Music on installation (didn't want music anyway).
I'll look into it further, but is there any obvious reason(s) the game shouldn't run on this system? Is it not Win98 SE compatible or something? BTW, I checked my Device Manager on both computers and no errors.
The game is very intriguing, but I'd like to get it running properly on the computer(s) I have to try it before I start spending money on the game or older hardware to run it.
At the very least, I guess I could start looking for EF2000 V2.0. Can anyone give me a quick summary as to the differences between EF2000 2.0 and Super EF2000? I'm sure this has been asked before and I'm about to start looking for the answers myself, but if anyone wants to volunteer.
Now I'm wondering how I ended up on a board named "Typhoon" but I'm sure I'll find the answer to this one as well. Well, I have an idea it's a newer but less popular version of the same game (much like F/A-18 OIF is to F/A-18 PSF and F/A-18 Korea Gold).
