O.o i've got Warcraft: Orcs & Humans, Warcraft II: Tides of darkness, Warcraft II: Beyond the dark portal, Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, Warcraft III: The frozen throne. All oringinal discs, the only ones i can't get to work one way or another in windows 7 are Warcraft II (regular and expansion). I have the first game installed in Win98SE in Virtual PC 2007, warcraft III (reg and expansion) both install and run fine in windows 7 with XP compatability mode. been trying today to get Warcraft II to install and play.
so far, it's just throwing errors in Win 98 SE in virtual PC and says yada yada 64 bit when trying to run it in windows.
can't get it to work with dosbox, virtual pc with win98se or any other way i've tried. (also couldn't get it to work in ubuntu yet, but still trying there)
!!!! got warcraft 2 working!
had to install the game in Windows 98 SE in Virtual PC, share a folder and copy it to the host machine (i put it in C:\) then install dosbox, set up the config for dosbox and run it
AWESOME!
for the config file, you need to go to the bottom and add:
mount c C:\WAR2
mount d D:\ -t cdrom (replace D:\ with your cdrom's drive letter)
c:
war2
KAPOW! Works!!
for lan gaming:
in the config file, search for ipx, change it from false to true
at bottom, add:
host machine:
mount c C:\WAR2
mount d D:\ -t cdrom (replace D:\ with your cdrom's drive letter)
c:
ipxnet startserver
war2
extra pc's:
mount c C:\WAR2
mount d D:\ -t cdrom (replace D:\ with your cdrom's drive letter)
c:
ipxnet connect [ip address] (ie: ipxnet connect 192.168.1.5)
war2
really sweet old game, so happy to have it working on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit!
