This is on emulator so it really isn't necessary but I would still like to do it.

I followed the guide here on making a bootable hard drive image and added the himem.sys and created the config.sys as described in the guide.
When I run the install from disc 6 of xak iii I get this error.

Image

Which pretty much says:
Himem.sys and protected memory are needed in ms-dos ver 5.0.
Please copy himem.sys from a ms-dos system disk so you will not
run out of memory when executing this.

Install suspended

But I do have himem.sys on the hard drive image.

Any help will be much appreciated

Thanks

Forgive my stupid question, but do your himem.sys comes from a 5.0 version of DOS? To me it looks like this game requires this and only this specific version, but I may be wrong.

Initially no, it came from the dos 6.2 system disk from the guide here. I found a dos 5.0 disc and copied it's himem.sys over and still got the same error. However this was a regular pc dos 5.0. Could that be a problem. I couldn't find a dos 5.0 system disc for pc98.

Thanks
