VonPawn Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) This may sound a bit ridiculous, but bear with me. I installed Virtualbox(a windows xp emulator) onto a macbook pro which used an actual windows xp install disk to make the Virtual OS. I then proceeded to install every windows update all the way up to SP3 and the .Net Framework 3.5 as well. This is windows xp and runs exactly the same as it except how it controls the hardware. I installed PSOBB and the starting screen works, but as soon as I go to start the game or go to the credits the game screen appears for about a third of a second then crashes. I am running the absolute minimal settings for the game and I know that this computer can handle any of the graphics needed for this game. Below is the error log from the last time I tried running PSOBB. Error : Can't find DisplayMode Error : Can't use format [D3DFMT_X8R8G8B8] Error : Can't find DisplayMode Error : Can't use format [D3DFMT_A8R8G8B8] I am fairly certain that this is a direct 9x error and I am going to install direct 9x now, but any help(especially from larva) would be appreciated. Also, any additional information that you would be able to provide regarding this error, please post below. Edited August 18, 2011 by VonPawn Link to comment
VonPawn Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 I thought I might as well include the spec log, it seemed a bit odd Driver :vga.dll Description: VendorID :00000000 DeviceID :00000000 SubSysID :00000000 Revision :00000000 Driver :vga.dll Description: VendorID :00000000 DeviceID :00000000 SubSysID :00000000 Revision :00000000 Link to comment

Veriemas Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Well I don't know much about Virtual OS. I know what it does and how it works but I don't know how to fix any errors like that sadly :/ The most that can be done is research online to figure out what can be done. Link to comment
Larva Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 as far i know VirtualBox dont work to play games. due to graphic drivers. and directx , just to make sure, try to install any other game on it and play it. Link to comment
Khazaddim Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I am getting the same error while trying to play the game on Ubuntu 20.04 with Wine 5. The game loads for a second and then crashes. Link to comment
