XP Windows @BC3000AD

[Thor Dazen]

With Battlecruiser 3000AD, will it run under Windows XP,

I bought Battlecruiser 3000AD , when it first came out, and never have played it

It seemed a real big learning curve to play

tonnes of key commands

I always had a Diamond monster sound mmx200

which is the reason I never tried to get it running ,no sound the above card would not play dos programs

just recently installed a SB live card, DX8 compatiable

Do you think its worth the time to download all the patches, install BC3000AD

And play?

I don't think the game will run in XP. The SC said it'll not run in W2000 or XP (correct me if i'm wrong), however some people got it to run in w2k so you may want to try.

Remember: THE GAME IS U.N.S.U.P.P.O.R.T.E.D SO USE IT AT YOUR RISK.

Hope you have luck with that XP

Try using compatibility mode, I haven't tried it but if you give me 20 bucks I might be inclined to

I'm running XP but I'm waiting on BCM to install it.

I believe the SC answered this question some time ago.

You would have to put win2k into a dos compatability mode, and then you would need a special sound program for that and then also a mouse driver for that.

I don't remember the particulars, you would have to do a search. I believe some people did get it to work though!

Good luck!

Thankyou for replies

Hmmm mouse drivers , never thought of that

optic microsoft mouse, and the sound blaster SB live, still , may not work?

I'll try I guess, see what happen's,don't think you can hurt XP Windows , so far, its a real bugger to get rid of, and be adviced, when installing, XP to any system, format it under your old operating system, than install XP

Had a problem that it installed to second harddrive, a 3.2 gig,have one start up command

problem now, it thinks XP installed on both drives, did not want to overwrite win98se,that was on good 20 gig drive

At start up now, it asks if I want to run XP Windows, or XP Windows , go figure, a reformat of both drives, or at least main drive, is needed

to get rid of this

I got bc3K to run under Windows 2K (unsupported I know) so I'm sure it can be made run in Win XP aswell there is a Dos sound util for 2K/XP link is on the Downloadable file pages (WDM sound)

i haven't tried it in XP yet but you can configure it to support Dos mouse and cdrom(if needed)

give it a try(it can't hurt)
