  • Dreaded Error 200..

    From Al DeRosa@1:267/157 to All on Sat Dec 18 13:31:32 2021
    Anyone have any tips to get rid of it, I run PATCHCRT on the files and sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.. Not overly familiar with DosBox but if that will solve the problem I will give it a shot. Any ideas?!?!?!

    ... I put a dollar in one of those change machines. Nothing changed.

    There's PATCHCRT, TPPATCH, CRT200, there are like 10 different ones and each one patches differently, so one may work where another doesn't. Also, there are some that are just because the way the program was writen (take EZ-ROM CD-ROM door 2.2 won't patch, but 2.1 will). It's hit or miss. DOSBOX will usually let the things run tho. If you need any of those RTE200 telnet over.

    You can also try TP7P5FIX -- I have that in a file over here called DOSFIX.ZIP -- and that's what I use.

    Thanks for the info. Actually after I posted the message, I came across a message somewhere in my google search to use UNP to uncompress the file then run patchcrt on it and it did the job. Though I am sure i will come across others that won't work that way.. THanks again for the info..

    Thanks Daryl, actually like I Said in a previous message I used UNP to uncompress the files and was able to use patchcrt on them.. I do have the file you mention and next time will try that.. Appreciate the info...

    there's a TSR that you can use to run it without the 200 error.

    you mentioned dosbox. bbsdosbox should be in vert's file area.
    it has docs on how to run doorgames in dosbox with synchronet.
