If the whole log helps, I can supply it. I'm running Windows 2000 SP4 on an NTFS filesystem. Intel Pentium 3, 500 mhz, 96 MB of RAM.

Any ideas?

Yoshiman 14 Oct 2003, 10:43

Yes, I get the same thing on Windows XP when I try to run Zelda Classic-w. If I try to run the DOS version, I get a choppy ZQuest program, and a ZC Program with no sound. I tried playing with the compatibility settings, but the same thing happens: I click the icon, a windows flashes three times, and then the illegal operation window pops up. Curse you, Bill Gates.

Demimore 14 Oct 2003, 10:50

Oh, I had the EXACT same problem when I had Windows NT 4. I couldn't fix that. It doesn't run on XP home either, as far as I can tell. But I have XP Professional and it runs perfect. So that should work.

Dark Nation 14 Oct 2003, 11:38

Try these (try ZC after each one of these steps):

Make sure the files you have are not corrupted (redownload ZC).
Delete ag.cfg.
Run Windows update.
Reinstall DirectX.

If it still doesn't work. tell me what the last line of allegro.log says.

AlexMax 15 Oct 2003, 02:57

ag.cfg does not exist.
I have the latest Windows Updates
I have the latest DirectX

The entire log file says the following...

Zelda Classic v1.92 Beta (Build 182)
Checking Files...

I would love to get the v183 Windows player, but I get a 404 when attempting to download it from the "CLICK HERE FOR ALL YOUR DOWNLOAD NEEDS" thread.

Demimore 15 Oct 2003, 10:32

It can be found at Pure ZC. www.purezc.com

At least I think so, just enter any ZC forum, and the link will be on top, with LARGE letters. You can't miss it.

Yoshiman 15 Oct 2003, 10:38

Alex, are you sure you have all of the DAT files in the same directory? ZC will stop if it can't find one of them. You need to have 1st.qst, 2nd.qst, 3rd.qst, sfx.dat, zelda.dat, zgp.dat.

All these files should be at Alphadawg's ZC Page.

fatcatfan 15 Oct 2003, 15:03

Try running ZQuest first, to create ag.cfg. Then run ZC. I think the bug fix for that came in a later beta, but for now a missing ag.cfg causes ZC to crash.
