Title: Tricks For An Old Game
Product review: Shanghai II has been one of my wife's favorite games for many years. She was not happy when it would not run under Windows XP. I saw from the other reviews this is a common problem, so set about trying to fix it. I'm pleased to report that the fix is simple.Shanghai II runs under Windows XP just fine, Windows 2000 as well. What it requires is that the game reside and run off a *DOS* formatted drive! So you must either pop in a second, smaller drive and format it for DOS, or do as I did - simply partition off a 300MB portion of my HD system and format that with extended 32-bit DOS. Copy the game to that drive/partition and it will run with no problem.Edit: When you create the shortcut to run the game, do not set any emulation, but do set it to run in a separate memory space.
