Gone Fishin' in WinXP

-This assumes that you have the latest version of VDMSound and its Launcher installed.
http://ntvdm.cjb.net/ and/or

-And you are also going to need a utility called vSubst v1.6 from here: http://home.tiscalinet.ch/t.bigler/utils.html it's a WinXP Subst command utility (the usual DOS subst cmd might work as well but I have this, so thats what I used).  

------------

Extract the .zip file
 
DblClick on the .exe and follow the prompts. 

-This example assumes that you choose c:\temp at this step so...

When it asks for a location to extract to make sure that it says  c:\  and it will automatically extract to C:\temp

------------

Extract vSubst and put it where you like.
DblClick on vSubst.exe 
LClick on the "H" drive and then LClick on "Add"
Then navigate to c:\temp in the pop up window and LClick on "OK".  (c:\temp should be the location of the disk.id file)

Check to make sure that you can now see a new drive H:\ in Windows Explorer. 

-Configuration:

1.  Ignore the install.bat file.

2.  Go to H:\

3.  RClick on install.exe and chose "run with VDMS".

Select "full installation" and press "enter"

Select "Drive C" and press "enter"

and use the defaults and "finish" out.

(Note:  If you already have a drive "H" change the "H" at the locations above to an unused drive letter).

-Playing the game:

Go to C:\AMTEX\GONEFISH (the default) and... 

RClick on setup.exe and chose "run with VDMS" without the icon.

And setup the game for your system.  The defaults with the Soundblaster 16/32/awe32 at 220 7 1 sound option should work fine in XP.

Copy the crack.com file to C:\AMTEX\GONEFISH

Open a Command Window at C:\AMTEX\GONEFISH and type in:

crack.com <press enter> and then hit any key.  Close the window.

RClick on gf.bat

Select the "Default Configuration" and "Remember my settings" boxes and "Finish" out.

The game should start.

To play the game after that, DblClick on the VDMSound shortcut.

-----------------

You can "remove" the vSubst H:\ drive and delete the c:\temp folder.  They are not needed to play the game.

Good Luck!
