![]() If you are using Linux, you first have to issue the command CONFIG -writeconf nf inside of DOSBox. On Windows click the edit configuration file shortcut. To avoid typing in the mount commands each time edit your configuration file. I did have to turn my system volume up to full on Linux to hear it as the volume was stuck down low, however. I found selecting Creative Sound Blaster Pro worked fine for me on Linux and Windows. Configure your sound card and music card. Click the install button and let it install to C:HOSPITAL (note: For windows users, this is equal to C:hospitalHOSPITAL on the actual system). This will open up the Theme Hospital DOS installer. First, when your cursor is stuck in the DOSbox window (as happens later in the process), to get it out press Ctrl-F10. Next we need to install Theme Hospital to DOSbox. Or Windows (replace E: with the actual drive letter of your CD rom drive) I recommend you make it something easy to type such as C:hospital on windows on /home/user/hospital on Linux/OSX. This works on all Windows versions from 2000 up, and for Mac OS X and Linux aswell. The final option which I eventually resorted to using is to install Theme Hospital to DOSbox. If you have XP or earlier, installing IPX to the Hamachi VPN software apparently works but I don't have access to a XP computer to test it. There is a hack to enable IPX in Vista, but it does not allow you to change the settings, and did not work for me. For Vista, the IPX network protocol, which was used by Theme Hospital, along with many games of it's time has been removed. If you want multiplayer, or you have the DOS version, things become more complex. The same steps should work the same on Windows 7 32bit, but I don't have a computer running that to check. ![]() On Vista on my PC, I had to set the compatibility mode to Windows 95, and turn 'Run as Administrator' on and it worked from then on. It has been re-released a couple of times, but my disc has both the Windows and DOS versions on the one disc.įirst of all, if you are running a 32 bit version of Windows, have the Windows version, and have no intention of playing the multiplayer mode, just insert your disc and install away. So I'm writing up this guide on playing Theme Hospital on a modern PC. It has a lot of charm, but it's not always simple to get running. I still have my original disc, and play it a lot. One of my favourite old games is Theme Hospital by Bullfrog. Octoat 08:40 PM | categories: Gaming, PCs | View Comments ![]()
