Privateer & myjemm

Here's my problem. I just built my new computer about 2 months ago. Its a 3.67 ghz pentium 4 (overclocked to those that didn't catch that :P) with 1 gig of ddr mem., Radeon 9800, water cooling system (Corsair hyrdropump 200), etc.... So its really hard to play old games! The computer I had before that (Athlon 700) just burned out so i don't really have a POS to run on.
 
hi, I have a similar problem. I have tried to get privateer to run on a new computer and I downloaded my jemm but when I ran it it said:

"EMS memory required

If you're using Windows 95 or 98, try adding the following line to your CONFIG.SYS file and reboot:
DEVICE=C:WINDOWS/EMM386.EXE RAM

If you're using Windows ME, then please see Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q275423.

MyJEMM Version 0.1.14
By Ross Ridge, Public Domain"

now, when I went to the EMM386.exe in the windows folder it said:

"Windows Expanded Memory Driver Version 4.95
Copyright 1988-1995 Microsoft Corp.

Expanded memory services unavailable.
EMM286 Active."

What does this mean and how can I fix it?
 
emm386 has to be put into the config.sys. Starting it inside a DOS window won't do anything.
 
yeah, I know but it says something about EMS memory not being available and apparently privateer needs EMS memory to work so how can I turn on the EMS memory?
 
By using EMM386.exe in your config.sys WITHOUT using the parameter NOEMS
 
Hey, I got a different sort of problem running Privateer (the original one) under Myjemm. It loads up all fine, great, great. And I can go through the hangar and the main concourse, at first it crashed me back to windows when I went to the Repair/Upgrade area in the Ship Dealers area, but that works now (for some obscure reason) and im left with one niggly little problem... I can't launch my ship. Well I can. But then it just crashes me back to windows. And at first, it'd have the little animation of the ship blasting off the base, but now it doesn't even have that. The error comes up in a seperate box, down the bottom and its something like "09F8:000B". Yeah, anyways, thought you guys might be able to help.
 
XMS Manager==AWOL

So I'm going with the 'myjemm' solution on my WIN98SE box with a Athlon XP2000. I've added the 'DEVICE=C:/WINDOWS/EMM386.EXE RAM' line to my CONFIG.SYS like myjemm suggested, but when I reboot, windows pops up an error telling me that 'EMM386.EXE not installed - XMS manager not present'. Not much for all this hardcore DOS stuff. What's a wannabe Privateer to do?
 
Add line DEVICE=C:\Windows\HIMEM.SYS before the EMM386.EXE line.

On the front page, just today, I posted stop by step instructions for an even easier method. Both privateer 1 and 2 are great.
