  • Door game compatabilty clarification please

    From Richard Fairman@3:770/3 to All on Sun Dec 8 02:31:06 2019
    Can someone help or point me to the information I need

    I run Mystic, Gamsvr, Dosbox 7.3 and Fossil on a Win10 64 bit
    Which door games can I run ok or how can I Identify which door games will run

    I have also registered and donated to Sunrise games and asked the same question
    to their support. Only to be told I will have to speak to Dosbox, Gamsvr and Fossil support for the answers I need, or only run their games natively on Mystic. they initially
    said they "had no earthly idea what dosbox or gamesvr was" I sent them links to
    both programs but they said " I dont know what you expect me to do with these links"

    I often get the error fossil not initialised correctly only use internal commuminications or I get the error this is a 16 bit program and will not run on a 64 bit system.

    Help please

    Regards

    Richard

    Perhaps I need a door game 101 or door games for dummies lol

    Hello Richard,

    I get the error this is a 16 bit program and will not run on a 64 bit system.

    I think the above mostly says it. You can run most any 32bit door.

    If your Windows was 32 bit you could run 16 bit doors but even then you need setup your windows for that.

    Ttyl :-),
