I just received my Savage Quest PC off eBay. It came with the security dongle that plugs into the parallel printer port in the back. It seems to be similar in design to other PC-based arcade titles of the late 90's early 00's. I purchased a Happ Controls fighting I/O board separate from it to connect it to an empty cabinet I have but there is a problem: I turn the machine on and it starts loading the game in MS-DOS. It then gets to a certain point (it does mention a few errors of not finding files but continues on loading for a few minutes after that) which I have attached in a pic below. It just sits there with some sort of incoherent message in the upper left hand corner of the screen and I'm stuck about what to do. I'd love to get this game setup particularly for my son who is crazy about dinosaurs so any help would be appreciated.
I should add that it gets to this point and there is no difference whether I have the I/O board connected to the USB port in the back or not.
I also opened it up and it appears to have two graphics cards for some reason. I plug the monitor into the larger one with 3DFX logos on it and I get some BIOS beeps when I turn it on and no image. The image wants to go through the smaller S3 card. That's a little strange, I know of SLI but I thought that this game just used a single card
