There are three Problems:
Problem 1: Installation cannot complete...
The version of InstallShield isn't supported by Windows XP. After the welcome screen, you'll see a error message and the proram will be terminated. So we install Zork Nemesis by hand.
Note: When setup works, then you can overjump this step and continue with step 2.
- We copy the directory „Nemesis“ from CD 1 to the hard-disk as C:\Program files\Activision\Zork Nemesis
- If you want the help-file, copy the file ZNEMHELP.HLP into the Zork-directory.
- The folder ZNEMMX is for the music of the game. Delete all files in the directory ZNEMMX, because they have no contents – the game would not have music. Then you copy all SRC-Files except NULLFILE.SRC from the directory ZASSETS of the 1. CD into the folder With this method you have no uninstallation-routine. So you have to uninstall it by hand by deleting the game-directory. ZNEMMX on your hard-disk and change the file-extensions from SRC to RAW.
To prevent this, you have to copy all contents from the CDs to the hard-disk.
- Delete the file C:\Program files\Activision\Zork Nemesis\ZNEMSCR\Small.zix
- Rename the file C:\Program files\Activision\Zork Nemesis\ZNEMSCR\Medium.zix to Nemesis.zix and then move it to C:\Program files\Activision\Zork Nemesis .
- Create 3 directorys in the directory C:\Program files\Activision\Zork Nemesis: „CD1“, „CD2“ and „CD3“
- Copy the folders „ZASSETS“ of the 3 CDs to the folders
- Now we open Nemesis.zix and execute following replacings:
1. Replace „CD0: “ (Space after colon) with „DIR: .\CD1\“
2. Replace „CD1: “ (Space after colon) with „DIR: .\CD2\“
3. Replace „CD2: “ (Space after colon) with „DIR: .\CD3\“ - You can delete the lines 2, 3 and 4
Problem 3: Scrolling is too fast
With fast computers the game is hard to play because the scrolling is too fast. You need a tool to slow down the CPU. Download the tool http://www.pctipp.ch/index.cfm?pid=1368&pk=16960, unzip the file and run „SlowDown.exe“. Set „Speed“ and „Reaction“ to „slow“. Let the window open when you run Zork Nemesis. If the scrolling is still too fast, then start the program a second time and set and repeat the configuration. With my AMD 3200+ MHz Prozessor (hat 2002 MHz) I had to run SlowDown two times and I set the regulators of both windows to the minimum. After the game you should set the regulators to „fast“ und close the windows. Then your CPU works fast again.
You can also make a batch script with another tool, if you want.
At some systems, the game just don't work. In this case you should use a virtual machine like "Microsoft Virtual PC 2007" (free).
I hope I could help you with this manual.
In case you love the delight of a competition, look no in addition than this third version of the addictive recreation Run. And as many enthusiasts of this 3D arcade game series had been hoping for, the game builders have considerably improved the previous video games. just like the preceding version of the sport, the menu continues to be bland. but, the game is tremendously addictive.
