Try DOSbox - a program to emulate DOS and should run your game better.

If I remember correctly, you type

mount d: c:\games\homm\ (or whatever your HOMM folder is)
d:
executablehommfile.exe

you should just get HMM3

no way HMM2 is so much more wicked. i like the older graphics for some reason. Shore the third one has more stuff , but i grew accustom to the second one.

 

[SashatheMan]

i thought u run HHM2 through windows. maybe something wrong the your crack.

For its time, HOMM 1 was so damn awesome... But 3 was easily the best of the series (4 sucked).

 

[Lord Ac]

Naa! What was wrong with 4? I love 3 and 4 and i wanted to check out no. 2

i have same problem with a game that has to be run on DOS. and i downlaoded that program. but please tell me why i type mount d: ? and my d: is the CD drive


heres the pif of the program i dont know what to type . please tell me.

Screen pic

this is the directory the game i want to play is in
C:\Documents and Settings\Sasha\My Documents\indi

and this is the exe file name
INDY256.EXE

please tell me what exactly to type to make that game work

 

[MedNez]

Mounting to d: doesn't do anything to your d: - it is a 'virtual drive', only accessible by the program.

Type

mount d: C:\Documents and Settings\Sasha\My Documents\indi
d:
INDY256.EXE
