Leisure Suit Larry 7: Love for Sail
Submitted by Anonymous on 2004-01-01 12:00:00 This product has a rating of 5 out of 5 running under Windows XP Comments: It can be made to work but it's a bit of a pain. 1. During install SKIP the Sierra system tests or you'll get a divide by zero error. I also created a shortcut to setup and set it to Win95 compatiblity mode but I'm not sure how necessary that was. 2. Once the game is installed, you'll need to edit resource.win and change leadSubmits = 4 to leadSubmits = 6. (Per Sierra's KB) You can also enable useDirectDraw if you wish. DirectSound doesn't seem to work. (If you copy the 'large' resource files to the installation directory you can update the paths in this file as well.) 3. Edit the shortcut installed to use Compatiblity mode. You want to use Windows 95, 256 colors and 640x480 resolution. (The game uses palette effects so the 256 mode will ensure those will work.) NOTE: If you want to manually make the shortcut for the game: We want to run "SIERW5.EXE" with the "RESOURCE.WIN" argument. Include full pathnames for both. NOTE: I haven't played the entire game all the way through but I went a few scenes in and it seems to be fine. Save and Load are working as well. Drive is NTFS. |
