Ok here goes, I did precisely what the other posts said to make Dracula X work, but to no avail nothing works, I downloaded both the windows and dos versions of 2.00. I copied Lord Whats-his-name (no offence, i just forgot) .hcd. But nothing, the .hcd does not work, but for some reason Hu6280 (another emulator) works perfectly sans music. Both Hugo ports allow me to access the file selector screen but when I select the .hcd it does one of the following:
1. Immediately closes.
2. Crashes from an illegal operation.
3. Goes to a black screen with white letters.
4. Hangs.
5. Restarts my computer entirely.
The same happens when I drag and drop the .hcd on the executable and run the iso (both of them) seperately. I don't know how to make a log file, so I guess I'm out of luck.
My computer is:
Celeron 466
64 MB RAM
Win98 SE
Some Stock video card but runs Unreal with no problem
you don't have to know how to make a log file - HuGo creates them automatically! look for it in your Hugo folder (Hu-Go!.log) and post it here ! until then i cannot say anything since none of the described things occured on my machine!
