pauldareason: hello i recently reinstalled both freedom forces and while i added ffx to ffvtr easily i cant get dr mike ffx to work for the first freedom force. according to the directions i should add -log to the pathway but im told its not valid when i do . anyone have a answer?
I may well be wrong here as I never had to use this '-log' option for FF but I do know (from having to do a similar trick to get Warlords III:DLR running in WinXP) that usually the 'Target' in the 'Properties' of the shortcut will be contained within quotation marks (e.g. "C:\Somegame\whatever...") while you must place the option, in this case '-log' outside of those quotation marks at the end of the line. and with a space before the '-log'.
So something like :
"C:\Program files\Goggames\Freedom Force\(whatever the exe file is called)" -log
Also there is a reason why you get that error message (target not valid" or some such) but I cannot remember what the solution is.
EDIT: I found the original FAQ which shows exactly what you need to do:
