I'm not sure, but renaming the files to a .mid (MIDI) extension and playing them in your favorite media player might work. No guarantees, though.... [Read More]
You'd probably have to modify the game's executable, I'm afraid, as the CD music is hard-coded to the Collector's Series version's executable.... [Read More]
XvT from the X-Wing Collector's Series is a limited "Flight School" version. The patch only works with the full retail version of XvT. If you decide to look for the full XvT, look for one that also has the "Balance of Power" expan... [Read More]
BattleDog This is XvT he's talking about, not XWA. This might've been posted in the Classic Games' X-Wing Trilogy and X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter forum, but he correctly posted here, as this is supposed to be the section for all of the X-Wing games now.... [Read More]
Also forgot you can post on the LucasArts tech support forums (http://forums.lucasarts.com). User Emkay1001 is pretty good w/ these things. :D... [Read More]
Those listings say "DOS" in the "Also For" information, so these are the Windows versions. If they were the DOS versions, "Windows" would be in the "Also for". :)... [Read More]
The only X-Wing series release I can think of from that time is the X-Wing Trilogy, which was basically the X-Wing Collectors' Series with X-Wing Alliance rather than X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter: Flight School. I can't remember the Windows versions of X-W... [Read More]
You're probably better off getting the Collectors' Series, because they're native Windows games and can run on Windows 2000 and XP without emulation (but be sure to pick up this fix (http://www.lucasfiles.com/index.php?s=&action=file&id=653)... [Read More]
IIRC, the "Classic" missions are the original versions of the missions, while the "New" missions have tweaks. Ex. in the "Capture the Priam" mission in Tour of Duty 3, you have a wave or two of GUNs after the FRG is capt... [Read More]
That would do it, too. ;) If you need help in completing the missions without cheats enabled, feel free to pay a visit to the Morning Star site (see link in my signature)...you can get mission help as well as general tactical advice from the TacOps... [Read More]
It may, but my only optical drive is on E: and the games work fine. Remember, you can reassign drive letters in WinXP from the "Disk Management" feature (accessed by right-clicking My Computer, choosing "Manage", and clicking &quo... [Read More]
You should make sure the game CD is in the optical drive with the lowest letter (i.e. if you have a DVD-ROM on E: and a DVD burner on F: make sure the CD is in the DVD-ROM). XW95 and TIE95 will run w/o the CD inserted, but you won't get music unless... [Read More]
Your best bet would be to look through my mod database on TheForce.net (http://theforce.net/videogames/mods/xwa.asp) and try to pick out stuff you're interested in from the site descriptions. It is a fairly exhaustive list of everything that's availa... [Read More]
Phantomchicken I didn't say it *wouldn't* work, as you have a USB stick and your laptop has a USB port, but most laptops use a portion of system memory for graphics memory, which hurts performance. This may not be too much of a problem on today's la... [Read More]
I'm not sure if you're trying to install this on a laptop, or a handheld device running Windows Mobile (which won't work), but I still assert most laptops weren't built for gaming, especially games like XvT that require additional hardware (like a jo... [Read More]
