Blood won't even start in xp
Moderator: Moderators
The PhysicaltoLinear error can be fixed this way:
1. Get nolfb.com and put it inside your blood folder.
2. right click on your blood.vlp file, chose "advanced". then find the
DOS environment tab. click to activate "additional options", then type in:
C:\GAMES\BLOOD\NOLFB.COM
where the GAMES folder is the location of your Blood game.

Ok, cool...but that brings me to a different problem, which is why I had been trying to open the Blood executable with VDMS instead of using the blood.vlp file. Whenever I try to open that file, my computer asks me to specify a program to open it with...it shouldn't need another program to open it, should it?
Looks like u havent installed the VDMS launchpad correctly. you should reinstall VDMS and the launchpad, then try again. but first try this:
1. create a new file called blood.bat
2. edit the file and type this is:
@echo off
cls
c: *
cd\ *
cd games *
cd blood *
nolfb
dosdrv
commit
*on my computer blood resides in a "games" folder on my C drive. you would of course have to write the correct path in the blood.bat file.

Btw, you really should get off VMDSound, its no good. Both for single player and network play, its....bad! use Dosbox, but not the 0.65. you need a specific CVS build:

on that page, click on this link: http://ykhwong.x-y.net/
download DosBox
after that, you can download an application named Dukonnector.
its a program that allows hosting and joining of old dos based games. it takes advantage of the dosbox' source and makes it easier to host and join network games. its a GUI for network play using dosbox. very nice application.
get Dukonnector here: http://duke3d.vachu.com/
enjoy!

Different error text
Could anyone help me out with this error? It happens in the same general way in all of the errors in this thread... the screen loads blood, then the cmd prompt flashes for a split second with an error..
Playback failed, possibly due to an invalid or conflicting IRQ.
Any help would be awesome : )

Hi, have som problems while trying to run blood on XP with vdms.
when i start it, i get the loading states, and then black screen, and come back to windows.
In VDMS error log i have this message :
@E - SB Controller
Attempted to read from an unknown mixer register (register = 0x83)
@E - SB Controller
Attempted to write to an unknown mixer register (register = 0x83,
value = 0x0b)
SB is properly configured, and have the same parameters in VDM and in blood config file.
If someone can help with this error, I thanks him.
