@Gil: try using dosbox. you dont lose any features and can mount the cd as normal.

try the following:
dosbox (0.72 is proofed to work, but actual version should work, too).
configure the following tags in dosbox-conf (the dosbox.conf is abolished since dosbox 0.73, so i use 0.72) with editor:
cycles=40000
sbtype=sb16
joysticktype=auto

(throttle control still does not work, but thats ok for me)
At the end of the conf you enter the following (before installing priv 2):
mount d f:\
mount c d:\dark-mnt

Where "f:" is my local cd-rom drive, check that for your pc! "d:" is my drive for games. After that you save and close the conf-file.
Now create a directory on your games-partition called "dark-mnt" or something like that. Insert priv 2 cd in your drive (no gold edition for win95 - it has to be dos edition).
enter:
d:
install

priv will now create a dir called "dark" as a subdirectory of "dark-mnt". but for the game "dark-mnt" looks like c: and the cdrom is mounted as d: just like the old default. after installation completes you can add the following lines at the end of your dosbox.conf:
c:
cd dark
dark
exit

save it, start dosbox, enjoy. cd changes should work, change the cd and press "space".
play the game in fullscreen using alt+enter.

Hi

I installed the game on my computer works well until I am asked to put cd 2.

I tried with daemon tools and I tried burning the cd doesn't work.

ok, error with dosbox fixed through clean install of privateer 2 without win xp patch.

just ran dosbox 0.72 and installed it. afterwards mounted cd to d: and install-directory as c: and it worked. i just cant use throttle control, but that's ok for me - maybe i'll have problems changing cd... i will see.

@Sal: now i tried it using dos-box and original dark.exe but dosbox fails to start dark because of "missing or unknown 386 fx driver".
do you have any idea? i am using dosbox 0.70

14.06.2009 17:14, afoxm:
@Sal: i tried your solution, but this can't work after installing with win-patch.
dosbox only says: dark.exe is a windows 95 file and does not execute it.

Have so found a solution for problem: start of planet - black screen without using dos box or very old gfx drivers?

Forgotten:

It works only with the orginial P2, not with the
enhanced Win95-Version.

Core settings:

I had to change the core settings because of black
screens whenever i leaved the first/host planet. Later
random black screens occured by higher core values too.

Try 1000-5000 steps until it fits for your system and
no other black screen/crash come up.

And:
Whenever i changed the core value by pressing
CTRL-F11 or -F12 ingame, i had to recalibrate my
Saitek ST90. Edit the DOSBox.conf instead and
restart DOSBox (and the game for testing) every time you altered this value.

I solved it on this way:

Get DosBox 0.72, install it.

Open DOSBox.conf and edit these lines:

core=dynamic

and increase the value of cycles up to 40000:

cycles=40000

at end of the file add the lines:

mount d f:\ -t cdrom -ioctl
mount c c:\Dark\

Finally edit the soundsettings with SOUNDSET.EXE.
For both - midi music and digital sound - use
"Creative Labs Sound Blaster or 100% compatible".

Start the game and have much fun!

Have uploaded Privateer 2 dos to windows deluxe patch and managed to get the game running on my windows xp computer with sound. Problem is that I just get at a black screen (with engine sound) when I leave the host planet and enter space flight mode. How can I get this to work?
Thanks

13.04.2009 05:22, Kreshna Iceheart aus MIDI music doesn't play E-Mail:
I just installed Privateer 2: The Darkening Windows patch on my notebook. It is an old Toshiba Satellite L20 with 1.73 GHz Pentium M, 2GB of RAM, and Windows XP Home Service Pack 3.

The game runs smoothly. However, during spaceflight, the MIDI music does not play.

The in-flight music in Options menu (ALT-O) is indeed enabled, but it doesn't play nonetheless.

Out of curiousity, I copied the following files from the CD to my installation folder (C:\DARK)
SETSOUND.EXE
DOS4GW.EXE
AILDRVR.LST
PROAUDIO.DIG
SB16.DIG
SBLASTER.DIG
SBPRO.DIG
SNDSCAPE.DIG
ULTRA.DIG
MPU401.MDI
PAS.MDI
PASPLUS.MDI
SBAWE32.MDI
SBPRO1.MDI
SBPRO2.MDI
SNDSCAPE.MDI
ULTRA.MDI

Then I executed SETSOUND.EXE, and chose MPU401 as my MIDI device. It created a file named MDI.INI, with the following contents:
[code];
;Miles Design Audio Interface Library V3.03 of 18-Jun-95
;

DEVICE General MIDI (Roland MPU-401 interface or 100% compatible)
DRIVER MPU401.MDI
IO_ADDR 330h
IRQ -1
DMA_8_BIT -1
DMA_16_BIT -1[/code]

Yet the in-flight MIDI music still does not play. What's wrong? How to enable in-flight MIDI music in The Darkening Windows patch? Thanks.
