Some Games not Working Properly when Using the D Drive

[TradeDraft]

I found that Civlization 2 and Grand Prix Manager 2 have Graphical Issues.

Both work Fine when Installing them to the C Drive

i also experience issues with installations on D drive

for example i install Slam Tilt Pinball and it runs flawless

then after i shutdown the Win98 session and close RA and boot up the Win98 session (lets say a few days later) i get "illegal operation" popup and the game wont start at all

also i noticed that deinstalling games between sessions wont work properly aswell (maybe corrupted Win98 registry, i dunno for sure)

however that`s not the case for every game... some titles dont show such issues

I seem to have encountered frequent corrupted save data on D drive. I'll be testing on C drive for a couple of days to make sure D drive is the root cause.

well i solved the situation for me by using the new features as they are indended in the RA fashion of launching games. Dont handle you f.e. Win98se installation as your typical Virtual Machine installment. Where you launch and do everything in the same Session.

...That would only work when everything is installed on the OS C drive image.

so you go this way

• Add a Game (Folder, ISO etc.) in RA as usual.
• Then when you try to run the game you choose to launch the OS.
• so by this procedure you`ll have 1xD drive per game/session

Addidional Note: If your game needs to be installed first then do that as usual.

Deinstallation: I suggest you also launch the game from RA to be in the same session so the matching game files on D drive are present aswell. The Registry entrys will the stored in the global OS installation (C drive image).
