LAST EDITED ON Aug-04-04 AT 07:57 PM (Pacific)just now read you use XP; whoops. with XP, your only options for Wiz 7 DOS are either to dual boot Win9x/DOS, or use DOSBox, link found later on in this post, which is a DOS emulator, which basically lets DOS programs run within XP.
use MoSlo, since the game is trying to determine how fast your processor is, which it then adjusts itself accordingly. it tries to test the speed, by running a couple of instructions, and timing that, and that results in a xx instrucions/y milliseconds (imagine that being a fraction). to get the Mhz rating, it takes the inverse, which is 1 divided by whatever time it got. now, with fast processors (pretty much anything within the last few years), Wiz 7 thinks the time is actually 0, since it doesn't expect its test to go that fast, which is, for example, let's say .00005 seconds. Wizardry thinks that's 0, and when computers divide by zero, they stop, not understanding what to do (technically, it tries to take the logarithm, and you can't take a log of zero), and the computer responds with a divide overflow error. means the number was too large for it to handle (infinite times zero is theoretically any number)
so, the thing to do with moslo, asides from reading its documentation, is to figure out how much to slow down your computer. Wizardry VII runs on a 75 Mhz computer pretty well. most computers are 1,000 Mhz. Break out the calculator, divide 75 by 1000, and you get .075. round that down to .07 which equates to 7%.
command line time.
usage:
c:\moslo\Moslo.exe c:\cods\wiz7.exe /7
if this isn't working too well, move moslo.exe to the Cods folder, and change accordingly:
C:\cods\moslo.exe wiz7.exe /7
if after this, sound doesn't work, try DOSBox instead, if you have a fast enough computer (over 1 Ghz), should be able to handle Wizardry VII fine, With sound.
