Help!

Post by Byce »

Hi!

I played Elma many years ago and I want to start playing it again, but I have some issues that I thought you might help me with. After installing elma (Have tried several full registered versions and freewares) when I execute it the screen turns grey and after a couple of seconds I get an error message and elma shuts down. 2 txt files are created "Sorry, Internal error". I have tried at least 10 diffrent files and on 2 diffrent computers but its just the same problem all the time. Does anyone knows what the trouble might be? I have windows XP and the latest directx installed. I am very thankful for your help so I can play this wonderful game again!

Do you have all the right files in your elastomania folder?

you should have 3 folders:
- lev
- rec
- lgr

and those files:
- elma.exe
- elma.res

are you trying to run elastomania (the original game), or elma 1.2 or belma?

BoneLESS: Yes I have all the correct files. The last I tried was Elma 1.2 but I had also tried all older versions with the same result :(

well, if your graphic card is not installed, i guess you just found out why elma doesn't work (as it uses directX therefore, a graphic card).
and 1 hertz... that's pretty fucking damn low in my opinion... like impossible as most computers are used with 60 hz +...

anyway, do you at least have a graphic card in your computer? Or is it the driver that's not working?

I have a graphic card. I am installing a new driver right now and then we will see what happens :D I actually had the same shitty VIA integrated graphic card in both cpus and didnt know until now that it wasnt installed so thats probably why elma didnt work on any of my cpus!
