I hope for very unpleasant things to happen to whoever wrote this page and it′s horrible time stealing lies!!! no matter what i do it always says i need quicktime 2.1Īll i wanted was to play this stupid game and instead i′ve merely wasted hours of my life i could have used to do something productive with my life.
i cant get the quicktime to install form the zoombinis installer nor does downloading it separately work. everything was working until the part where i had to run the game installation. when the first method failed i tried the second. Right click desktop properties settings tab and set color to 256 colors I tried so hard for hours to get this game to work. Go to Player Removable Devices CD/DVD and click connectħ.
under connection in cd/dvd settings, tick ′use ISO image file:′ and select zoombinis image, click ok.ĥ. Once running win98, on VMWare toolbar click Player Removable Devices CD/DVD settingsĤ. load this pre-made win98 Virtual Machine ģ. Easiest way to play this game is in a Windows 98 Virtual Machine. I found this wonderful guide which addresses both of these issues.Īfter that you can play flawlessly with no weird compatibility issues. After running the shortcut created within windows, another error, this time about a lack of sound drivers, after fixing that it will complain about SVGA drivers. It installed itself and the quicktime runtimes.Ĥ. I then remounted the Zoombinis iso image to the D directory, then I started up Windows3.1 and used the file explorer to run the Zoombinis installer. I then found a Windows 3.1 set of floppy disk images, I extracted them all into a single folder, mounted that folder in DOSbox in its own C directory and then successfully installed Windows3.1 within DOSbox.ģ.
I mounted the iso directory of zoombinis in DOSbox, it gave me an error saying I needed Windows installed.Ģ.
