I got hold of the INDE Emulator for Windows and voila! NOTHING!?!? Tried Compatibility Mode and Ran it an Administrator and it just refused to do anything.

Installed it in XP using Virtual PC just incase and it works.

Any known solutions as of yet for this? I'm going to try Windows XP Mode This Here and see if that helps in the meantime.

I also fancied playing Bullseye, so using that Inde_Sim i started a game and all looked good...except i couldn't find my mouse arrow anywhere :( A couple of other games including Deal or No Deal had the same problem. I tried using that Sonar thing for the mouse but it was tedious, pressing CTRL and wasting valuable time just to locate my cursor.

Anyone got anything to say? :)

Edit the exe files so it shows a cursor --- simple solution

Or buy a touchscreen monitor as this is how they are meant to be played

Should i use something like Resource Hacker for that? i was wondering if there was a string i could add to the shortcut to force the cursor to show..

I was considering a touchscreen monitor actually. Perhaps build a nice machine for it. You can get also get them all in one touchscreens like the HP Touchsmart, i bet they'd be nice for it but expensive lol.

I found this posted on another thread ........




Download a little program called XVI32 it's easy to find on google.

Open it up. In the program, open the exe file of the quiz game you want to play. The left of the screen should be a load of numbers, the right will have some text about not working in dos and other stuff. Click 'search' and then 'find'

Tell it to look in 'Text string' and seach for: ShowCursor

You MUST use capital letters for the S and C.

Click the S of show, and type "Clip" so it now reads "ClipCursor"

save the file. Load the game. Hey presto, you have a mouse cursor, with no flickering or stupid red boxes, and it only takes 30 seconds, I've done all my games in about 10 minutes.



Also if you do a search - the edited exe files are already on another thread....
