[vintagecdromgirl]

um, has anyone ever managed to get the following games to work successfully without a message saying that the CD needs to be inserted? (it always happens, even if you burn the image to a CD after installing the game )
Blue's Clues: Blue Takes You to School

I did find a way to get Dora the Explorer: Animal Adventures to work, thanks to the "cracked" game exe...wish me luck on this lol

well, i downloaded your version, but when i start the game, the game doesn't start, and it's even listed in the processes in the task manager
terje_p, oh man, i can't believe it doesn't work for you
but i will download the crack and give it a shot on XP, or maybe even windows 7...wish me luck on this, and it worked on Windows 7

This game also worked here... just get the game , install it , copy the crack and have the CD in the fist drive letter after C: aka "D:" ... since back in the day, games where programmed for PCs to have only 1 CD\DVD drive and 1 HDD , and if the game suddenly sees two HDDs\Media Drive many games just freak out and will not boot at all[/quote]

i didn't know that

All games behaved like that till 2006-2008 when Vista came ... same can be said about Multi Core PCs , HDD Space and Ram... till 2010-ish games freaked out if you had too much Free Space (like 900GB since normally you should have only 1GB) , 16GB of ram when PCs back then only had 2GB or Max 4GB , and 24 Cores (or more like todays pcs now have) when normal home Pentium 4 had only 2 or 1 cores .... there is also the GPU ram (its 8\16bit texture support that new cards dropped and now your forced to emulate those features with wrappers) and CPU speed factor

and on top of that you add Drivers , Quick Time , Flash support that new OS dropped hard

and you get why some people are overwhelmed with it and just take the easy way and buy a GOG version ... that just uses Dosbox with Wrappers that you can get for free ...

um, has anyone ever manged to get Tweenies: Messy Time Magic to work for them? it's apparently copy-protected (yeah, a copy-protected BBC Multimedia game), and i don't know if there's a CCD (clone cd) file for it anywhere (https://archive.org/details/tweeniesmes ... cukversion)

You could try with the generic loader, or does that only work with newer titles?
