DOS 6.2 is installed and everything works fine but I can't format disks correctly. Therefore I can't create a Policenauts boot disk. EDIT: Problem solved. Typed in the wrong DOS command; as expected.

Within the last three days I made alot of progress, at least I think so. The only thing left to do is to activate the CD-Rom drive but I don't know how. Afterwards I should be finally able to play Policenauts on my PC9821 Na 7. I'm somewhat frustrated and would really appreciate any small hint you could give.

If so then you need to add the followi lines in 'config,sys': DEVICE=<path>NECCD.SYS /D:CD_102 /I0 If you've loaded HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE you could use DEVICEHIGH In autoexec.bat you add: <path>MSCDEX.EXE /E /D:CD_102 /L:M This installs a CDROM drive at drive letter M Ensure that the supplied <paths> are correct! It's possible you must remove the /I0 option from the CDDriver loading command because I need this option to get it to work on the TN98 emulator but perhaps you don't need it on a real machine. Oh and if you need some info about some options of drivers/dos commands, then goto http://babel.altavista.com/urltrurl?lp=ja_en&url=http%3A//www.theochem.ru.nl/%7Edtanis/MSDOS1-JAP/msdindex.htm I hope this helps. _________________ Advice of a RUNner: Beware Snatchers are everywhere

I didn't have look at this thread in awhile. I'm somewhat late but thanks for your advice. I can't give it a try until October but then I definitely will. I'm trying to play Policenauts on an PC9821 Na7 notebook. However, I suppose I won't be able to start the game on this notebook if I don't make any modifications. Recently I was told by a Japanese trader that Policenauts won't run on a standard notebook of the Na series because it's missing a PC-9801-86 sound card. Moreover I'd need a PC-9821 N-U5 docking station according to him. On the other, I've seen pictures of Policenauts running on an Na notebook at least without docking station. Confusing...

I did make it work, buthave no CD audio (otheriwse it runs perfectly fine, the integrated sound board works quite well for the in game sound). I can post my autoexec and config.sys files, they have all what mrSeed posted above, but they load an audio and video driver at the end. It is something like avdriver.sys, check on your C: drive to find all the sys files listed. _________________ From the mathematical perspective, consciousness might be regarded as a second derivative of sensation. -- Terrel Miedaner [Junker HQ]

This might be very helpful. I already managed to create a boot disk but every time I tried to start the game, I received a message saying 'mukou-na doraiba no shiji desu'. Perhaps I can start the game by means of the audio and video driver you mentioned.

It is something like avdriver.sys, check on your C: drive to find all the sys files listed. The Policenauts version I have runing with the emulator T98Next or Anex86 doesn't load any graphics driver so far as I see. It only loads the sounddriver avsdrv.sys. It's a standard dos sounddriver which is installed in the standard DOS directory. I use version 3.10 rev 1 from DOS 6.2. You can load this driver with the same command as the other ones. DEVICE=<path>AVSDRV.SYS Adding the switches /F and /P to the former command you can select if the driver use PCM or FM sound. Too bad you have to wait till October to test it. _________________ Advice of a RUNner: Beware Snatchers are everywhere

Too bad I can't do anything at moment but at least there's some hope that I'll be able to make Policenauts work soon. It's definitely a driver related problem. Everytime I tried to start the game I received a message about an 'invalid driver'. Might be the sound driver indeed. This is what I did so far to make the game start: 1. formated a 1.44mb disk (I typed in 'format /4 /s b:' in DOS command) 2. created a boot disk by means of the Policenauts system-disk (I suppose all drivers where copied correctly) 3. changed the GDC from 5 MHz to 2.5 MHz Finally I started the game by using the boot disk but only received the message mentioned above. Snatcher already told me it won't work this way but he can't help at the moment. Someone's got an idea what I've missed out or done wrong? P.S.: Does the Policenauts PC98 emulation already work properly or are there still those nasty sound problems?

Anex86 emulates PC-98 Policenauts pretty much perfectly (PCM sound plays fine unlike in T98 where it'll choke when system load gets high), save for an issue with CD-DA (a.k.a. redbook) sound; tracks will play for about ten seconds and then stop entirely. This doesn't really affect playing the game that much though as most of the music is stored in a data file on the disc. Edit: t
