^ Yeh that's why I was chuffed so I can use my original TR1 Sold out CD instead of the custom one I had to make for missing soundtracks;)Okies:) Yeh I can take the disc out of the drive safely during gameplay:)Maybe if you can get permission from Eidos, you could implement a disc check once so you won't need the disc in the drive after the first check from then on. Bit like TR2 & TR3 except they replace the original.exes with patched ones, so then it just seems to be inline with the way TR2 & 3 run.btw I'm only suggesting that because I'm OCD on how things are organized:pIf legal issues are a concern then forget about it;)Oh yeh and the game runs fine:tmb. FAQ updatedmany thx, Alex:hug:Are you implying there's some way to run TR2 besides leaving the disk in the drive all the time?

If so, what do you do?afaict, even if I never really tried, the only way could be through an image, possibly a plain.iso which one would be supposed to load, but certainly not via dosbox this time (dosbox would have no clue how to handle TR2 and 3). The only problem the previous installer had was the late sound effects.and exactly what's that previous installer for you? It's ok, I've gone back to your previous installer. The one which didn't use dosbox. Is there a way to change the resolution?talking about 1.6 aren't wewhen it's fullscreen. It's just that:)dosbox's not even in charge there, the glide wrapper isiow in tombraideropenglid.ini the InitFullScreen=1 line calls the shotsthen it gets stretched to the max res your display can get, and pillarboxed on widescreens, but you can't go higher than sootoh if for some reason you want to customize resyou'd have to start windowed(how? Setting InitFullScreen=0)then opening the tombraiderdosbox.conf filesnamely dosbox for 32bit, dosboxtr164 and dosboxub64 for TR1/64bit and TRUB/64bitfinding these items:fullscreen=windowresolution=you can set fullscreen=false and windowresolution=whatever makes any sensesave and see what it's likedid this answer your question?

I can second this. I have some smaller issues (game is very bright (not a problem, as I can change my monitor settings) and it's sometimes quite slow) but this is finally an installer that works like a charm for me and finally I can play TR1 with all those beautifiul audiotracks that were in the PS-version.:DGame is bright because that is how TR1 is(especially with the Mipmapping). TR1 only has white lighting and NO FLARES so of course it is going to be a tad brighter than you are used to.:PTR2 was innovative because it included darkness as well as other things.;). Hello I had to buy a new computer recently, and it came installed with Windows 7 Home 64 bits. Explain more in depth what happens. The three windows are perfectly okay.-TR1 Game booting(and checking for disc)-DOSBOX config-DOSBOX starting up.After those do their things, all but the TR1 game one go away.

The DOSBOX one full screens then closes and a Core status window will appear and the TR1 Game one will fullscreen.-This is the way it should work. What CD-ROM drive are you running it from? If it isn't the lowest letter(A lowest, Z highest) then there may be trouble connecting with the disc.Is it giving you the 'Please, insert Tomb Raider 1 cdrom and start anew.' Message??You may need to mount your disc drive to another, but no need to mess with that unless you really need it.

It is a simple fix, but can get annoying. XDEDIT: To save time, I put the fix for it up for all to see!!To mount a drive as another one so DOSBOX will read the disc:Run DOSBOX from the install folder.In the command console type:mount e c: -t cdrom.Where 'e' is the drive your CD-ROM is really in. (mine is drive E but yours may be different).Where 'c:' is the drive the patch is looking for the disc.

(C is the highest so I suggest it)Hit enter and it should give you a message that 'e' has been mounted as 'c'. Type 'exit' and hit enter.Run the TR1 exe and watch DOSBOX load up your game!:jmp. What CD-ROM drive are you running it from? If it isn't the lowest letter(A lowest, Z highest) then there may be trouble connecting with the disc.Is it giving you the 'Please, insert Tomb Raider 1 cdrom and start anew.'

It is a simple fix, but can get annoying. I only have one CD/DVD driveWhen I try to run TR1 or UB, I never get any message like: 'Please insert the CD-ROM'.because the cd drive is identified right so the program needn't get to that warning msgI tried to mount my CD-ROM drive like TheBloodRed said -But still when I try to run the installed TR1 or UB, none of the windows go full screen, the two DosBox windows immediately close, and the Tomb Raider 1 stays open but does nothing. Thank you very much:)that was precisely the gist of it allNo, thank you for making this:Dobviously upgrading from XP to Vista and 7, and x86 to x64, wasn't bound to ease technical issuesquite the oppositeI figured I'd have trouble with older games when I upgraded, so I'm happy just to be able to play it:D I haven't played TR1 too much since I installed it last night but so far the only real issue is that it displays the desktop while loading a level, then automatically switches back to the game when it's done loading. I can totally live with that since it doesn't happen during the actual gameplay and it hasn't caused the game to crash. There's also a very minor issue of the white outlines appearing around her gunfire, but I got that on my older PC with dgvoodoo too so I'm used to it:pAnyhow, I mention these issues in case you need the feedback but I'm perfectly happy just being able to run the game so you don't have to go out of your way trying to fix these small issues if you've got more important things to focus on:). Hey Gidierre couldn't you compress it in a 7zip file so it can be easier to download in file size, and quicker to download in time.no wayas the Inno Setup (utility which I've been using for the script-to-installer-exe transition already comes with default compression enabled which, fancy that;) is just 7-Zip LZMAand notice that as documentation remarks (a compression level isn't specified, it defaults to lzma2/maxin fact if it didn't the total size of it image included couldn't have shrunk from original 600+ MB to. I can't play at 1920x1080the resolution is always 640x480.

How can i fix this?it depends on how you run itgiven this thread's subject, based on dosbox 1.6 installer(if this is what you're using which I feel is not or else you wouldn't go plain 640x480 VGA)implies you'll have to open the.conf files you find in tombraideredit the fullresolution= entry to. What?well this thing might help:must respect the 4:3 ratio and move up to the highest rank (red square) your display will safely takee.g for your HD 1080you can try SVGA, XGA, SXGA+ and:p obviously not UXGAso go and e.g. Just set fullresolution=1280x960save and look until you find what suits you best.-ok so it downloaded ok and i have the 2 icons. I have the TR1 cd rom in and it still says please insert TR1 blah blah blah then it says then start anew.(idk what that means?) then it says press any key to continue. I'm having the same problem with resolution. I changed the fullresolution in all 3.conf files to 1400x1050 and it changes the resolution of FMVs, but not the game itself.yeah, it figuresquoting the glide wrapper maker's own words:- When glide is active, the wrapper is in control of the DOSBox window.

Also, there's a bug where the game crashes once in a while when I try to access the menu (happened with nGlide also).in fact a common if desultory occurrence, at least with 21st century hardware in generalI've got an ATI Radeon X1650if there's no fixing the bit depth of that buffer or if the instructions (obv. Customized for the Catalyst control panel vs Intel's) won't apply, there's always the chance the artifacts you see are not the evil kind as reproduced e.g here (to make sure we're talking about the same business, but of the occasional, more rare and erratic type which imho is well depicted in a case like this one (from Stella's TRUB walkthrough (Shadow of the cat) having no solution afaik.or else those Ati drivers have problems with z-buffering:confused. Mine is more similar to the first screenshotto be sure it's like that and is reproducible go to Lara's home, the room with the blue mat facing the stairs that the screenshots mentioned in my post above show, what does it look like?So is there anything I can do to fix it? I found a setting for OpenGL triple buffering but enabling that didn't do anything.triple buffering has little to do with this, it's the depth bufferingfor Ati read hereSettings - Force 24-bit Z-Buffer depth)if you can't spot it or fix it in the Catalyst Control Center for some reason, please check your tombraideropenglid.ini file that came with the installerin there there's one EnablePrecisionFix=1 line right? It's got to be =1alternatively, if there is a real problem with z-buffering after all I can send you a different build of the glide dll that's apt to address any issues w/depth buffering programmatically whatever the card just forcing 24bit precision for good (hopefully:cln:)HTH.

Joytokey V5 2 1 Incl Serial Full Duplex For Sale

So in your CCC 3D setting menu beside triple buffering etc. There's no such thing as Force 24-bit Z-buffer depth or something to that effect?something like this (under API specific, I meanthat's strangesounds like this discussion to me doesn't it:have the same problem with the Radeon X1950 Pro 512 mb.In catalyst in the opengl setting there is only the option for triple buffering. No force 24-bit Z-buffer depth option.I'm pretty sure the problem is with the 24bit depth buffer, but I can't find a way to change it in the Catalyst software for the ATI card.not TRI-related, it's true, but probably relevantI wonder if a drivers' update might be convenient if possibleor if you want I can fetch that uber-glide2x.dll and upload it for you to test it, it won't hurt trying:).

I'll try the patched glide2x.dll. Will it still have the ability to change resolution?surely not since it was made before the resolution customizationin gulikoza's wordsthis version is a fix in openglide. By default 16-bit Z-buffer was requested from OpenGL. Now, a 24-bit buffer is requested if available, if not precisionfix is used (this fix was always disabled previously).

So in a way, glide is now forcing 24-bit Z-buffer and control panel option in not required.the purpose of trying is mostly to see if by this depth artifacts are goneif not, I'm afraid the fault is in the card or I'd say the driversI remember such an issue (but it was an Intel card back then) and since it was a laptop and I guess you know how hard it its to update drivers for them a sort of modded driver change did the trick, like those modded releases that go for GeForce's. I don't know about Ati though.Link to the dll:http://www.megaupload.com/?d=I8LTNZ3D. Though there's another problem. There's a weird brown line that appears around objects, and the outline around Lara is jagged as well:happens sometimes without nGlide, but with nGlide it happens more often.Hi, same thing happened to me.

To fix it just need to press the F3 key (on/off antialiasing) in the game. I think it's a problem with antialiasing 3dfx patch and modern hard.Look:(after pressing F3:(game run with TR1 1.6dosbox installer (thanks!!!!!) and nglide at high resolution (1680x1050)The only bad thing is you can not control the gamma and colors are very washed.PD: Sorry for my english. To fix it just need to press the F3 key (on/off antialiasing) in the gameyepthe point in above discussion wasn't about the fix itself, but only that it's more often seen using nGlideThe only bad thing is you can not control the gamma and colors are very washedgamma can be optimized using dgVoodoo i.e. Through the Advanced Installer (not for Vista and 7) or the other installer based on it (dgVoodoo) as opposed to dosbox (for Vista/7, but not for the 64bit versions)actually where I most needed a gamma customization in all these years has been just with dgVoodoo vs. Glidos & dosboxremember that if you have a 64bit OS so no chance to try dgVoodoo in any installer way, you can still try to improve/customize rendering in dosboxit's strongly dependant on your graphics adaptor and can be edited in the dosbox.conf (configuration) files, in the following sectionsdl# output - What to use for output: surface,overlay,opengl,openglnb,openglhq,ddraw,dir ect3d.according to your hardware capabilities some setting will break it, some may improve colors, all values beside direct3d can applyworth having a go at it anyway. Any chances that you include the glide-enabled DosBOX and the glide-enabled EXEs as an option in your package?

That way people will be able to run the game in full resolution and with no slowdowns in weaker PCs.but have you actually ever tried the installer yourself?because as for glide enabling, it's as enabled as can be and has always been from the first draftslowdowns in older machines imho has nothing to do with any glide-enabled dosbox or exes whatsoever,anyway what dosbox build are you using or thinking of?ykhwong's ones, maybe? Those are good, but you see personally making an installer utility I'm inclined to use official releases as much as possible vs. Svn or cvs builds, especially when the glide patch itself is really maintained by gulikozawhy I'm waiting for him to come up with a 0.74 release of his patch to match the current dosbox versionat any rate, I'm very interested in knowing what you have found (compared if possible with the installer) which in your experience is worth of consideration especially about the resolution enhancements and how you'd go about it since afaik gulikoza's latest dll requires a commandline argument to make it.

I understand your reasons, It's good practice to always use official releases.I was wondering 'cause you said that 640x480 was the maximum 'true' resolution for TR1 and that it would be upscaled (or so I understood) to fit the desktop resolution. In the build I've used, you can use true full resolution. As all the output is translated directly from Glide to pure hardware OpenGL or Direct3D calls, there's no time spent on rendering by software, so the game will perform way better on slower PCs.I have to admit I haven't used your solution.

I will when I get home next week:) Honestly, I didn't know that your installer included the Glide enabled versions. I just thought it hadn't due to what you said about not being able to raise the resolution to a value higher than 640x480, so I assumed you were using the normal, software rendering EXEs which are pretty much CPU-dependent to run smoothly:)The build I use (which you can find in the post I've linked before in this thread) runs 'out of the box'. You unzip the build, run it, and from there you install TR and then overwrite the TOMB.EXE or TOMBUB.EXE for the 3dfx versions (found in the very same post). When you run TOMB.EXE, it just works. You can configure the resolution from the DosBox window menu and switch to full screen at will.

That way I just told the emulator to output the glide screen to 1440x900 in 32 bit, fullscreen and it worked. HiI have a problem with TR1 which has appeared after installing and playing TR2.I used and have used your installers for a while now to play TR1 and recently installed TR1 fresh with the 1.6 installer and the game ran sweet with no probs.Anyways I played all the way to Natlas Mines and then fancied a change so I installed TR2 and started playing that again with no probs.However when I launched TR1 again the game now starts in a teeny tiny window in the middle of my screen,still full screen but with huge blackness around the game screen.How can i get it back to full screen?

Tried alt-enter and changing various stuff in the config files but nothing has worked yet.I'm using vista 64 and a nvidia 570. I have a problem with TR1 which has appeared after installing and playing TR2.However when I launched TR1 again the game now starts in a teeny tiny window in the middle of my screen,still full screen but with huge blackness around the game screen.How can i get it back to full screen? Great installer gidierre. I haven't been able to get TR1 running in a long time.I do have a problem thou.

When I start the game, after the intro movie, the camera freezes and I only get a static image of Lara in the entrance of the cave. I hear sounds if I press buttons, but the image is frozen solid.Any idea what the problem might be?EDIT: I get the game working perfectly when using yhkwong's build and manually setting everything up. I do not get any movies thou.What is the Windows x64 fix for FMVs anyway?

Well I have no clear clue what kind of issues you had and with what hardware so I can't really commentI doubt it's the x64 architecture per se though since it's been working there for many players.As I was prying deeper into my own package I found what the problem most likely was; my native resolution of the desktop is 1920x1080. With that res TextureMemorySize=16 has to be changed to 32 for some reason (I'm no computer wiz, just trying stuff until it works).Your package will most likely work fine for me with this tweak, but I've grown quite fond of my own little package so I will prob stick with that for now.:-). Well, on my Windows 7 32-bit I have problems with this too.I've installed it correctly and applied the patch, fmvs and menu are working correct, but after choosing New Game/Croft Manor it seems that the DosBox has stopped rendering.

I can move Lara and I hear all sounds, but graphicaly it is frozen(with 1FPS - Fraps).Strangely, it seems that the game works 'perfect' if I use nathan's way to install TR, the only thing is that I cannot force dosbox to use all the space on 1440x900 resolution.My computer:Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz3GB RAMGeFoce 9800GT. Already tried that, but it doesn't work anyway. It seems that is DosBox or DirectX-related problem, because when I've tried to configure nathan's version I've met the same issue.:((btw weren't you once on x64 iirc and had you not found the fmv fix useful back then or is my memory at fault here?

Did you get back to x86?)well, you know the patched/unpatched dilemma boils down to directx (dosbox's but not my installer's default) vs. Windib (my installer's vs. Dosbox)I guess it's less a matter of cpu architecture (32 vs. 64bit) than it is of os version since gulikoza himself always favors windib with Vista as opposed to WinXPand apparently of gfx adaptor brand and even generation/series, like GeForce 8XXX vs. 9XXXI know of reports about GF9800GTread here: it's not clear whether settingoutput=opengland/ormachine=vgaonly (previously =vga)as opposed to current default as machine=svgas3 does any good.Here my 8600M GS sure is fine with windib. I have win 7 64 and the game freezes when you start a new level.

It gives the stats for completed level then you get a shot a lara head and nothing moves. You can do stuff and hear the results like draw guns, I found a tricky work around that requires you to save the game by memory and then loading it again by memory. I press menu button,down,action,right,action,down(to new slot)action.

Esc twice menu,down,action,action. You have to do this blind so practice in the middle of a level to get it down pateditAfter finishing qualapec The scene with larson froze at the beginning. I could hear all the dialog. When they finished I assume the stat screen came up. I hit action and the screen went blank. I hit esc and was able to play the folly. I installed the patch and was able to watch the beginning FMV including the trek to the andes.As much as I want to play TR I'm not sure its worth not being able to watch the cut scenes.

I'm at Atlantis now.Sometimes when a triggered audio track is about to start, the game locks up completely and the sound stutters like crazy for like 3-5 seconds before the game continues and the music plays. It does not happen on all triggered events music, only like 2 out of 10 or something. Any way to fix it?is it consistently reproducible? Is it consistently reproducible? I seem to have an issue. I remember I installed once this installer and I could play through the game completely without any lag, issues, crashes, whatever.I recently wanted to play again, so I installed it.

I'm using Windows 7 64 bits.The game runs fine, I see the FMV correctly, I can jump, run, shoot, whatever I want. BUT, as soon as there is a cutscene (like after the fight with Larson), the game freezes. I can still hear the music and the cutscene's sound, but I need to press Escape twice (to skip the cutscene) and press Enter.It's kinda sad, since everything else works fine.Any idea/suggestion?Edit: Okay, what the heck, five minutes ago I could run the game correctly, now it suddenly crashes after the first FMVs (Eidos Interactive and all this).:confused. I do have a framerate problem when trying to run yours in the 3dfx form.

It really does slow down. How can it be helped?it strongly depends on one's hardware (cpu and gfx card)if performance is poor, I suggest to edit the cycles item in all tombraider.conf filessensible values usually can be tested ranging from cycles=fixed 20000 to 200000 but it's really a per machine fix (assuming it does fix anything)if the best option is passed it's easy to tell since it will all grind to a haltlockups are always possible as soon as the gfx system power is worn down. Often, the picture freezes while there is sound (Lara can move, use weapons, access the menu, etc), including cutscenes. Worse, the game often crashes if I access the menu, select a weapon from the menu, use something in my menu such as a key, and saving or loading with F5 / F6.

Is there a way to cure this?some remarks about your report:Memory: 6144MB RAMAvailable OS Memory: 2048MB RAMCurrent Mode: 1280 x 720 (32 bit) (60Hz)Native Mode: 1920 x 1080(p) (60.000Hz)Display Memory: 1017 MBDedicated Memory: 249 MBShared Memory: 767 MBare these figures correct? Report is alright, but what about available memory and resolution? Seems not quite so to mealso, don't you have a cdrom driver?that said, such crashes may be expected sometimesif they're too much vs. The 2.7GHz cpu(remember dosbox only takes advantage of a single corethat's the one clock that counts and forcing affinity to a singled out cpu never made for any boost in my experience)the only parameter that might be worth customizing in the tombraider.conf files is as usual the cycles itemwhile output and core I wouldn't bother withcycles can be raised or lowered at will, until you happen to find a setting that can improve performance a bitnot always higher will mean faster, thoughof course killing all disposable running tasks may help too. Hey, gidierre:wve:I have a problem with your DosBox;) Whenever I start playing clicking 'Play Tomb Raider 1' in my tombraider map in C:, I get an error saying: 'You are running in a Non-Accelerated OpenGL!!! Things can become really slow.' And when I click that away, I get another error saying: 'Severe problem: OpenGL GLEXTpackedpixels extension is required for OpenGLide!'

Then it crashes.I use Windows XP. Is that a problem? Because I saw you saying that this DosBox is for Vista and Windows 7.Edit: Problem solved! There was something wrong with the Dosbox config;). Hello, and thank you for your wonderful patch that allowed me to brush the dust off my 10 year old Tomb Raider disc and play it on Windows 7 x64 without hassle! Well almost:D.I had a few problems at first, but I was able to resolve them with some patience.

The issue was that when the game transitioned from stage to stage, or resumed from a load, the video would freeze up. Sometimes if I alt-tabbed and re-maximized, this would fix it. Other times, it would just show a low-resolution window stretched across the screen with no video, just black. The game was still playing but the video was missing, I could still hear my character moving around and sounds playing but no video. I was determined to fix my issue, so I did some research and discovered that the patch is using a custom build of DOSBox v0.73 that allows renderers that the official build does not.The bug is with DOSBox v0.73, I was able to resolve my issue by updating DOSBox to v0.74.

Joytokey v5 2 1 incl serial full duplex pc

Not the official build but the builds that enable direct3d and glide found on This version is much more stable over v0.73, and I've had zero issues after updating. I strongly urge a v1.7 patch using this version of DOSBox! It even correctly shows the 'Eidos' intro correctly and has a fancy new 3DFX logo splash screen.I included a link with the updated DOSBox files. Just extract and overwrite the files in C:tombraider and we're off to the races. I only included the files that needed updating, plus a few I wasn't sure about. The shortcuts to load the game provided with the patch still work perfectly. Again thanks for your wonderful patch and I hope that the file I provided will aid you in your next release.a side note: I configured the dosbox.conf to have a default resolution of 1280x1024.

Users with older monitors may have to change that line if their monitor does not support it. My monitor's max resolution is 1920x1080, but widescreen resolutions do not scale well, so this is the closest I could get to the 'best' graphics possible. The other settings in the config file I duplicated from the config file that came with the 1.6 patch.Edit: Also, I noticed the game has some lag when exploring open areas. After some more messing around, I noticed the default CPU cycles in DOSBox config included with the 1.6 patch is 50000, bumping it up to 'fixed 68500' is the bare minimum I could find to get no frame loss.

I did not include this change in the file I uploaded. I'm not sure how intensive DOSBox is with system resources, so I don't know if users with slower machines will benefit from this change. I'm running a 2500K at 4.8Ghz so CPU power is no issue:).Edit 2: Unfortunately, after updating DOSBox the FMV sequences are once again corrupted for me (black screen, skipping sound). The FMV patch corrected this for me, but it doesn't seem to work with the newer version of DOSBox. On a side note: I configured the dosbox.conf to have a default resolution of 1280x1024.

Hello to everyone!First I want to thanks to gidierre for 1.6 dosbox installer. Big thanks!But I have not cutscene when starting the game.

Joytokey V5 2 1 Incl Serial Full Duplex Wiring

I have win 7 x64, and everything work excellent for now, except that starting cutscene.EDIT:Ok, I didn't see Patch from gidierre, sorry. Now I have cutscenes, but game sometimes freezes. I have sound and I can hear Lara walking, or I hear rotating inventory in main menu, but picture is still.I too had this issue. I made a small 'patch' with a more recent version of DOSBox and it seemed to fix it. Tested on 4 different machines with success.

It fixes some major errors I had, but introduces some new minor ones. I posted this a page back, but use the link in this post instead. It is in zip format instead of rar, is hosted on my site instead of megaupload, and the dosbox.conf file has a resolution all monitors should support. If anyone is not having issues with video freezing, then THIS PATCH IS NOT NECESSARY AT ALL. It is ONLY for people to give it a try who are having issues with video freezing up (but can still hear sounds playing in the game).Video FreezingTHIS PATCH WILL BREAK CUTSCENES AGAIN, and items will have depth issues (pop through walls). But it will make the game playable if the video is freezing up after every load or when you enter the next stage. Not sure if it will work for everyone, but it worked for me on several computers.

You may want to backup the tombraider installation folder just in case. Not even the FMV patch will restore movies, so you will either have to deal with no FMVs or video freezing errors.Link: Download TR DOSBox Update.zip (install, extract and overwrite the files in C:tombraider.FPS DropsI had issues with FPS dropping in open environments, the first encounter was the area in level 3 (Lost Valley) with the T-Rex. You can try editing dosbox.conf, scroll down to cpu section, and change cycles=fixed 50000 to cycles=fixed 90000. This was tested on sandy bridge @ 4.6 Ghz, so I'm unsure of the results on other CPUs. Lower setting (around 68k) smoothed out the T-Rex area, but a much higher setting (around 90k) was needed in level 8 (The Cistern) to smooth out everything.Higher ResolutionBy default I kept the resolution at 1024x768, in the case of older monitors.

Lower setting (around 68k) smoothed out the T-Rex area, but a much higher setting (around 90k) was needed in level 8 (The Cistern) to smooth out everything.Higher ResolutionBy default I kept the resolution at 1024x768, in the case of older monitors. To make the game just a tad sharper, edit dosbox.conf and change fullresolution=1024x768 to fullresolution=1280x1024.

I'd get a black window appear saying press any key to continue and then nothing would happen when I'd press a key.that msg is supposed to show when the TRI cdrom isn't recognized IOW it doesn't pass the cdrom testwhen you press the notorious 'any' key the (pseudo)msdos box ought to close anyway or does it just freeze transfixed?at any rate a diagnose.exe report would be mandatory plus further details of what TRI cdrom version it is you're usinge.g. To ascertain the files and folders' layout it would be good to use the redirection operator at the promptI mean something along the lines ofdir /oe /s c:listing.txt. Everything's done as You suggested, but still the samethere might also be some mismatch as regards the folders' arrangement on your cdrom when they reissued the original TRI gameand the installer has no idea how to cope with so it will ask you to 'insert' it foreverthis ought to be investigated and the fastest way I can think of is generate a listin windows explorer it's always been cumbersome to make it so I suggest you open the cmd prompt, navigate to the cdrom/dvd drive root which will probably be e: for you, and obv.

When the cdrom is in it type:dir /o /s c:listing.txtor something to that effectthen in windows open that listing.txt that will appear and show its contents here. A friend of mine is thinking of buying the Tomb Raider Collection PC package (which has the 6 Core games).Is it possible to make these versions work on Windows 7 64bit and will the Gold expansions work with them (along with Lost Artifact)?I hope someone could offer some kind of an answer so I can tell her whether or not it's ok to buy this package or look for another solution.Basically here the only thing that's left is this collection. Every other version of the games are sold out and not likely to be sold again unless there's a re-release.So she would have to import them piece by piece if this will not do.I am sorry if this is the wrong place to ask these questions. Just wanted to give my thanks to everyone who gave up their time to make this classic playable on modern hardware. I'm not sure which installer I ended up using (I got one from somewhere on tombraiderchronicles.com in a setuptr1-1-2.zip), but I think it's at least related to the one from this thread (if only in the ground broken).Something that might help people who have to disable one or more disc drives to stop the St Francis Folly crash etc.Microsoft have a utility called devcon (part of the Windows Driver Kit) which can let you disable/enable hardware devices from the command line.or in my case a batch script. You can get it here (x86 and x64 versions included): dumped a copy of it in my TR directory (along with JoyToKey as you will see below), so I don't have to manually disable/reenable my drives every time I want to play.

Here's the batch script I use to start the game:@echo offset SDLVIDEODRIVER=windibstart JoyToKey.exedevcon disable IDECDROMLITE-ONDVDRW.devcon disable FDCGENERICFLOPPYDRIVE.dosbox.exe 'tomb3dfx.exe' -noconsole -fullscreen -exit -c 'mount d%1 -t cdrom -noioctl'devcon enable IDECDROMLITE-ONDVDRW.devcon enable FDCGENERICFLOPPYDRIVE.Edit: Just realised.obviously my drives won't necessarily be the same hardware ID's as yours. This example explains how to find your relevant hardware ID's: idsbyusingapatterntools. Should be pretty straight forward. Remember to run it from an elevated command prompt so it doesn't open and close another window before you've had chance to read it.JoyToKey starts with my TR profile, extra disc drives disabled (floppy might not be needed but I added it just in case), game starts, and the drives are reenabled once the game closes. The only down side is if you have UAC enabled on Windows 7 (and I guess Vista), it's a couple extra clicks/keystrokes each time since devcon has to run elevated for obvious reasons.Hope that helps someone.

One last thing.I got a strange bug at the start of St Francis Folly where Pierre didn't appear the first time (in the first room with all the pillars). Don't know if anyone else has had it. He did however appear later at the bottom of the chamber where you put the keys in at the level end. Try killing those processes, then try TR1 again:Fuel.Service.exe 1468 Services 0 5,796 KTRAISVCS.EXE 2012 Services 0 5,984 KEnergy Management.exe 3028 Console 1 2,812 Kutility.exe 3088 Console 1 3,396 Kwmpnetwk.exe 3936 Services 0 6,644 KGameBooster.exe 1256 Console 1 11,596 Kgbtray.exe 3784 Console 1 960 Kiexplore.exe 792 Console 1 43,776 KFlashUtil64111102Acti 2040 Console 1 8,796 Kiexplore.exe 4360 Console 1 307,828 Kiexplore.exe 4048 Console 1 27,764 KAdd TR1 to your antivirus Exclusions list as well. This is great, without this program I couldn't get music/dialogue to play.I only have 3 issues with it, 2 of them are minor:- The game crashes to desktop about 50% of the time that I press F5, F6 or Esc.- The game stretches to fill my 1366x768 screen.

I have edited the files 'dosboxTR164.conf' and 'dosbox.conf' so that they read:fullscreen=falsefulldouble=falsefullresolution=1366x768windowresolution=1366x768output=direct3dautolock=truesensitivity=100waitonerror=truepriority=higher,normalmapperfile=mapper.txtusescancodes=trueThis only results in the introduction videos being in this correct resolution, but when it comes to the game menu, the screen blacks out for a second to change back to the incorrect, stretched-out resolution.- I can see objects through walls, such as enemies, pickups, doors, spikes, etc. I changed my OpenGL settings as suggested but it did not fix the problem.EDIT: I am running 64-bit Win7. @Snow & Isaacas I wrote in some earlier post of mine:customize the cycles value buried deep in the tombraider.conf filesthat can be set to ideally anything above/below what I chose, but in fact there's a relatively short per machine range where the cycles emulation will suit any single machine. I consider all figures from 20,000 to 200,000 to be painstakingly worth testing until (read: if) you find what's best for youThe game stretches to fill my 1366x768 screen. Tomb Raider cutscenes aren't working on my computer!Decided to replay all of TR and after I finished Tomb of Qualopec, the Natla cutscene isn't playing.

Just the sound freezes every second and there's no picture!:/Any tips?:confused:I have to a different problem but sound kind of the same as this one. My cutscenes work fine with just a little bit of delay when they load, but when I try and load a level the screen goes black after the FMV finishes with the game loaded and waiting to be played.I don't know what is wrong at all as it loads normaly until I want to play the game.

It had worked itself out. Oh well:pThere's one thing that really bothers me though.

This has never happened since I installed it two days ago, but now the game crashes almost always when I use the quickload hotkey. When I first launch the game everything is okay, this only happens after 2-3 minutes of gameplay.:confused:It's getting very annoying now.Update: The esc key also crashed my game once. The hell's going on?:confused:Your specs?Run Diagnose.exe (and post the report.

Sry, maybe i am too stupid for this but what is that hole thing.?U basically get TR1 to run, using Glide Wrapper and Dos Box?My dream always was to get TR1 to run without typing something in the BOX, just klick on the icon and start.that plus- Improved Graphics (ive seen 3D FX, is that basically the same than GLIDOS?), cause i do not want to pay for GLIDOS. You're welcomein fact what you said:My dream always was to get TR1 to run without typing something in the BOX, just klick on the icon and start.that plus Improved Graphics etc.is precisely what I had in mind when starting to build these installersand btw yes, the 3dfx support by the glide wrapper is essentially the same as Glidos though the wrapping methods differ, besides dosbox sourcecode is open and so is the glide patch, while Glidos and dgVoodoo are propietary and their sources are not open. So I made a fresh 1.6 installation and used the fmv patch but the problem still occurs. It looks like this:I start TR1 from a link on desktop and 3 windows pop up titled 'Tomb Raider', 'DOSBOX status window' and 'DOSBOX(with icon)'.' DOSBOX status window' shows:(Version)(Copyright)-CONFIG:loading primary settings from config file dosbox.confMIDI:Opened device: win32GLIDE:LFB access: read-writeDOS keyboard layout load with main language code PL for layout plSHELL:Redirect output to cdrom.txtAfter that only 'Tomb Raider' windows stays open with a flickering ' sign.and thats it.It seems he doesnt see the CD? I have used the CD image provided and its on virtual F drive, and I disabled my CDrom with E drive.I tried to run TR1 with sound for 4 days now and I am starting to give up:(It ran with SVN-DOSBOX+nGlide but still cant make the sound there to work.Any help appreciated. I have used the CD image provided and its on virtual F drive, and I disabled my CDrom with E drive.this doesn't look goodyou should have one cdrom.txt created by the install script, supposedly in c:tombraider or wherevercan you post the contents of this small txt file?

Or is it empty or non-existent?EDITvirtual f: and disabled e:how do you mount that f: drive anyway? In windows beforehand? Using what virtualization software? And what's with the real deal (cdrom)? Now what becomes of it? Wait a minutedgvoodoo's the glide wrapper the other installer is built upon vs.

The one that's discussed in this thread, ok?(for that, 32bit only, there's always dgvoodoosetup.exe in tombraid to run who will let one adjust gamma values just fine)but as for the dosbox based thing I'm sorry there's no fixing any gamma value iow afaik you'd have to resort to adjusting your monitor's outright settingsMy mistake, I confused sections on the Tomb Raider HUB website regarding the installer. So the Vista/7/64bit version runs on Glidos and DosBox, and there really is no way to configure Glidos in this? I know the conf files contain configuration for DosBox and you can set up output renderer as ddraw, direct3d, opengl, etc. Would changing any of these have any effect?

I'm running on nVidia card and there doesn't seem to be any options in the control panel to adjust graphics in OpenGL apps specifically. I remember back in the day the 3DFX Voodoo cards would also give this slightly washed/milky graphics (although not as much), so I'm guessing this behaviour today is a remnant of that. So the Vista/7/64bit version runs on Glidos and DosBox, and there really is no way to configure Glidos in this?

I know the conf files contain configuration for DosBox and you can set up output renderer as ddraw, direct3d, opengl, etc. Would changing any of these have any effect?it's not Glidos by P.

Gardiner, it's its tantamount Glide patch by gulikozaand there's nothing afaik in those.conf or.ini settings to edit, including the rendereryou can try ddraw etc. But I wouldn't be surprised if they actually were going to mess it all up for the worse. Improved Graphics (ive seen 3D FX, is that basically the same than GLIDOS?), cause i do not want to pay for GLIDOS. Its a 17 year old game, no need to pay 10 bucks for it.To be fair your not paying 10 bucks to play an old game your paying 10 bucks for the program, all the painstaking hours that it takes to make new HD textures as well as create a program and maintain a website (yes it costs money to have a website). I doubt little if any profit has been made considering all the hours put in.

Glidos also runs with the original GTA and a host of other ancient games.That being said it's nice to have a free alternative too.My dream always was to get TR1 to run without typing something in the BOX, just klick on the icon and start.that plus Improved Graphics etc.is precisely what I had in mind when starting to build these installersIs it possible to include more detailed meshes in with your installer? I'm not making demands or anything like that but I use the Level Editor and I happen to have wolf and bear custom meshes for the LE (that are currently unfinished) and I'm simply wondering if people made object packs would it be possible to load them into levels like we do with textures?:DHQ textures are great but when they use old meshes the result is sometimes lacking. I doubt little if any profit has been made considering all the hours put inI also think he never profited, nor did he ever mean to. He (Paul) himself wrote it's only a matter of getting even Steven (maybe) with all the time spent on it. Plus, afaik fee's still only 10 USDand it's been so since the times of Utnapishtim-I for one got registered 11+ yrs. Ago, same price.Is it possible to include more detailed meshes in with your installer?

Why, you're very welcome to make any demand you want:) and this is a very enticing oneonly, afaict meshes & stuff work with TRLE as much as it hacks the TR4 executable, right?but what's with TRI's tomb.exe?including files into the installer's script takes nothing special, it's making them interact, if at runtime, with the exe which is the challengeSome users here have managed insert custom Lara skins into other TR's such as Tomb Raider 2 and 3 although I'm not sure about TR1.It's possible to update existing meshes with new ones as long as they are low poly. (less than 256 polys being the limit). We don't use the actual Level Editor to do this but instead other fan made tools such as fexmerger. Only the appearance/shape of the object changes, any objects/enemies will behave the same as long as their mesh trees match.I have no special insight how custom meshes would fit inprobably the right go-to guy would be just Paul Gardiner. Have you thought about asking him?The thought only occurred to me today, so I was just curious. I will send Mr.

Gardiner an email.:). HellooForgive me if I am writing in the wrong place but.I have just bought TOMBRAIDER - ULTIMATE EDITION for the sake of playing TR1.There is a TR1.bin/cue file on one of the disc of the package. There is no physical TR1 CD. So I made a virtual cd and made it work with the dosbox. There happen to be PC audio files on it and it works ok, which is great.To achieve 3dfx emulation,I am using NGLIDE and 0,74 dosbox reccomended on their site, step by step I managed to get rid of the glitches configuring dosbox.cfg. The game now runs smoothly with the aspect of 16:10 (great) and the resolution of 1920x1200.

Looks really nice.The only thing I lack (as I am not going to use GLIDOS, I like the old looks of the game) are PS1 sounds.How can I make it work, using my present setup, I mean. Virtual cdrom with TR1, and NGLIDEhelp appreciated. You would essentially have to use the package provided with this installer. It includes a TR1 disc image with PlayStation tracks added, and I believe the game executable has been modified somehow to play them also (or perhaps even the level files were modified to add missing sound triggers?)this is what I would like to know. But the 1.6 installer (as far as I understand it correctly) requires a physical TR1 disc?? Virtual drive will not help me?My Tombraider directory is C:tombraid and this is where the tomb.exe isThe virtual drive of the original BIN is H: in the system and I mount it as D: in the dosbox.More info about the NGLIDEI found still isnfinishedbusiness/page1will it work for me? Changing cue to game.dat???

But the 1.6 installer (as far as I understand it correctly) requires a physical TR1 disc??
