::If installing the floppy version, be sure you have DOSBox installed in Program Files\DOSBox before running installer. If you do not, you must be online to when you install the game to allow the installer to download and install DOSBox for you or the audio file will not be decompressed. To accommodate PCs without a floppy drive, for the floppy version this installer is designed to work by using the files from the original media copied to the hard drive. Because some files are named the same, the files from multiple disks often need to be kept separate to avoid overwriting each other. To install these games:
<blockquote>
* Create a temporary folder on the hard drive.
* Inside this folder, create a numbered folder for each disk, i.e. "1" for disk 1, "2" for disk 2, etc. one for each disk.
* Copy the contents (files and folders) of each disk into its appropriately numbered folder,
* Copy DOSBox installer for the game into the same temporary folder.
* Run the installer from this same folder.

The "magic" script is 10. However, this script cannot be found in the English release of Freddy Pharkas. Extract '''[[Media:Freddy_Pharkas_Debug.zip|10.SCR/10.HEP/10.TEX]]'''<ref>Download from the German v1.000, interpreter 1.cfs.081</ref> from the RESOURCE.MSG file (instead of the usual RESOURCE.000) in a NON-ENGLISH(!) release. I've tested this with the German, Spanish and French release. The extracted script will work with every version of the game, also the English one.

New Installer

If installing the floppy version, be sure you have DOSBox installed in Program Files\DOSBox before running installer. If you do not, you must be online to when you install the game to allow the installer to download and install DOSBox for you or the audio file will not be decompressed. To accommodate PCs without a floppy drive, for the floppy version this installer is designed to work by using the files from the original media copied to the hard drive. Because some files are named the same, the files from multiple disks often need to be kept separate to avoid overwriting each other. To install these games:
  • Create a temporary folder on the hard drive.
  • Inside this folder, create a numbered folder for each disk, i.e. "1" for disk 1, "2" for disk 2, etc. one for each disk.
  • Copy the contents (files and folders) of each disk into its appropriately numbered folder,
  • Copy DOSBox installer for the game into the same temporary folder.
  • Run the installer from this same folder.


Debug Modes

The "magic" script is 10. However, this script cannot be found in the English release of Freddy Pharkas. Extract 10.SCR/10.HEP/10.TEX[1] from the RESOURCE.MSG file (instead of the usual RESOURCE.000) in a NON-ENGLISH(!) release. I've tested this with the German, Spanish and French release. The extracted script will work with every version of the game, also the English one.
