3:22 in the video or, you can careful-step to last "loose" tile, then step back 2 careful- steps to perform running jump. I was not able to perform a log run with single jump at the end as can be done in v1.1, I used the above two techniques to cross the chasm.
(*): Level 7 has two big potions: one in the left part (left Level 6 exit) and another one in the right part (right Level 6 exit). Is impossible (I believe) to catch the two big potions at the same time.
If the game ask for a cd2, search for the crack or patch from here download3.html.
They are on 2nd CD:
Released for IBM PC-5150. The manual was also smaller (only 6 pages) and was rewritten to just mention the IBM version, not the other commands or information (unlike the original manual that has references for IBM and Mac). All the copy protection questions refers to just 6 pages, instead of 12 or 13, so the letter answers are very different.

To run Prince Of Persia 3d on windows XP fine, try one of the following methods: (Usually the game crashes on windows XP because of the NVIDIA Detonator Driver) If the game won't start at all, check the latest sound and cards drivers and download the latest version of DirectX from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/downloads.
The game was already prepared for both disk sets and also copying/installing to the hard drive. If you check the PC version cover, you'll see the sticker saying something like "both 5,25 and 3,5 disks included". That's why it's asking for "the disk", not "disk 1". Programmers covered all three possibilities. Main EXE file knows, of course, which files belong to which disk. If PRINCE.EXE finds out there's some disk1 file missing or corrupted, it asks for the PoP disk, not the disk 1, because in 3,5" distribution there was only one disk, so the user would be confused. But when some disk2 file is missing, PRINCE.EXE expects to be running from 5,25 disk and asks for Disk 2, because if it were 3,5" disk or HDD, the file wouldn't be missing, would it?
miscellaneous :
If you specify the /N switch, MSAV displays the contents of an MSAV.TXT file, if it exists and it is located in the directory that contains the MSAV.EXE file. MSAV then scans the current drive or the drive you specify. MSAV does not use the graphical interface. If MSAV detects a virus, it returns exit code 86 instead of displaying a message on your screen.
Following sequences slow the game down: Door actions / Music from potions / Level end music (but not the one from the shadow) Following make it faster: Chomper actions.

Timing on running jump across first large chasm (room 11) is much stricter on timing and positioning, a long continuous run with a single jump at the end did not work for me - I ended up running with 2 jumps to get across!

I am just wondering the use of this tool. And what it does for the CONFIG.SYS file by forcing FILES=20 (for example) conedit 20 C:
In PoP2: Press Alt-O to enter the Options Menu then save the game from there and resume the game from there too or press Alt-G for save and Alt-L to re-load (resume) the saved game.

Also note that newer versions are not necessarily better, and they all contain the same set of levels (unless you are playing a mod, of course).

Real symptoms versus false alarms.
IMO, the IR release is harder with it's running/jumping timing differences. They definitely made changes after IR version to timing and positioning for jumping that makes it easier - especially making successful continuous running jumps.

Microsoft Anti-Virus creates a CHKLIST.MS file in each directory you scan for viruses. The first time you scan a directory, Microsoft Anti-Virus records in the CHKLIST.MS file checksums for each program. During subsequent scans, it compares new checksums with the originals to determine if program files have changed. A difference in checksum values indicates a possible virus infection.
IMPORTANT : D-Fend is a good, but now discontinued software. The successor of D-Fend is D-Fend Reloaded. The advantage of D-Fend Reloaded is that DOSBox is already included in the install package, so you can use it right away.
Windows 9x (95, 98, 98SE and ME) is better than Windows NT, 2000 and XP for playing old DOS games. Try to shut down in Dos Mode and run the game. Or create a partition and install Dos and run the game from there (run the game from a floppy disk) If you are running the game under Command Prompt , press ALT-Enter to enter the full screen mode. You can delete the game's sound files and run it. Or use a Sound Blaster 16 Card and install only DOS and the card driver (Sound Blaster 16 card works under Windows too) Note: Be sure that the card driver is installed correctly in DOS or Windows and in the game setup choose the sound card device.

Notes: 1. For graphics modes, see this thread. 2. If you want to test low memory conditions, you can use the "loadfix" command in dosbox, it eats up 64 kbs of memory if called without arguments. In vga mode with the default settings, after using loadfix twice, prince.exe will refuse to load. You can try to load with bypass then. 3. Prince generally buffers its screen output, that is, it blits the sprites to an array in memory first, and then copies that buffer to the screen in each frame (1/12 second). The draw option disables buffering, making debugging easier (since sprites appear on screen when they are put out). For more details about buffering, see this post. There are some smaller bugs with this is normal mode (e.g. loose tiles that fall through the bottom of the screen leave their trails there) and some serious bugs in upside-down mode (The sprites are drawn twice: once normal, once upside-down):

Running jump to left (room 13) is much tighter with respect to timing and requires exact positioning if you drop down from upper ledge on right side.
Answer (by Hubai Tamas ; htamas): SaveShad() is called when you enter shadow mode and LoadShad() is called in every frame when you are in shadow mode. I don't why this message appeared if you weren't in shadow mode. You can cause errors in SaveShad() and LoadShad() if you die in shadow mode in the same screen as your body, press R, change to shadow mode, and repeat this a few times. You'll make prince.exe run out of the buffers reserved for your shadows :) (I wonder why multiple of them is allowed). LoadShad(): It was in the cheat mode, and I falled down on the screen with the flame. Then I pressed R to resurrect. Prince was alive again. Then I pressed Shift-S (or ctrl-s) to release shadow. Then that came.
First bird guard does not fall off edge (room 5) onto plate (to keep gate open), you have to fight and push off right edge.

Assuming your sound card is working fine: Get DosBox from DosBox's official/unofficial/fan/port websites or from synaptic (Debian-based, Ubuntu, . ) or however you can. That's pretty much all you need. There is a small chance that it won't recognize your configuration file, so here's a solution:
Too bad you can't set parameters for the executable path.
All of these 8 rooms contain some information about the room x. If you are in room x, you can see some parts of AL and BL. You see tile 30 of AL, and tile 10 of BL. And, you see the room at the left (tiles 10, 20 & 30).

In PoP2 1.0 and 1.1, if you want to pick up the sword, the prince can't pick it up, so it stays on the ground, and you'll see it during the scene, and you need to pick it up again.

I have no idea what that means, as I have tried many times to press keys or climb up but always fall down.

I installed the game when I try to play, a DOS window pops up with the error message: "This machine needs 1306 more bytes of memory." You need more base ram. Protected mode stuff like Windows programs or dos ones that use extenders (like dos4gw or cwsdpmi) it doesn't matter, but for old dos programs you need to free more of the first 640 kb of ram. Try booting in plain dos without mouse or cd-rom drivers. In the game setup enable "use the machine's extra memory".

The v1.01 patch for PoP3D has an annoying bug: it copies all its files into the Windows directory instead of the PoP3D directory. There is a registry fix for this which works fine on XP, but apparently doesn't work on Windows 7. I've created a RAR file which includes all the files and folders from the v1.01 patch. In case the registry fix doesn't work or if you don't want to mess with the registry then this is the file you need. Just extract it into your PoP3D directory (make sure to overwrite the existing files) and play the game with the v1.01 patch. Surprisingly, the game works fine on Windows 7.

When you start Anti-Virus for MS-DOS, it uses an initialization file named MSAV.INI to configure the program. To determine the location of the MSAV.INI file, Anti-Virus for MS-DOS first searches for the MSDOSDATA environment variable, which specifies the path to the initialization file. If this environment variable is not defined, the program searches for the MSAV.INI file in the directory from which you started Anti-Virus for MS-DOS. If the program does not find the file, the program creates it using default values and places it in the directory.

Many people find that the game freezes up when trying to play in dosbox, that it sticks during the cutscenes. I know what the REAL cause of this. it is getting your IRQ wrong! If you have the wrong irq, after playing the first sound in the cutscene, the game will hang until paused and resumed, waiting for the irq to return. This is different form the usual symptom of stuttering sound and an instant freeze when you get wrong settings. If you specify the correct IRQ, then the game will play properly with sound. Tested with DOSBOX, which is what people should be using for running this program under wondoze if they've got the CPU power.

FreeDOS is a free DOS-compatible operating system for IBM-PC compatible systems. FreeDOS is made of up many different, separate programs that act as "packages" to the overall FreeDOS Project. These days, there are three main uses of FreeDOS: 1. To run old DOS games (like DOOM, etc.) 2. To run old business software that only supports DOS 3. To support an embedded DOS system, such as a computerized cash register or till You can run FreeDOS on pretty much anything. While can run FreeDOS on a dedicated PC, now it's most often run inside a PC emulator. You can find PC emulators for all computer platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac.) If you are new to DOS, we recommend you use an emulator to install and boot FreeDOS.
So the game really was on two floppies. KID.DAT apparently was on the second one.

While playing PoP2 IR version, when I press the arrow left, it deducts me one life! If I press left arrow for long time I die! This bug happens only if you are playing PoP2 IR version with cheats (makinit) and under DosBox. A possible explanation: The inner DOS code of left arrow is 0x00 0x4B, and 0x4B is the code of Shift-K. It seems that the game interprets the 0x4B twice, so pressing the left arrow means pressing Shift-K too, which means losing a life in cheat mode. The same thing happens with Page Up and Shift-I (turn screen upside down), and Insert and Shift-R (show room number). Your solution is: either don't play with cheats, or download the version on my website: download2.html (1.0) (Works fine with or without cheats - cheat parameter is: yippeeyahoo). Or you can control the prince with: S D F E keys: S = LEFT F = RIGHT D = DOWN E = UP.

100 (Ctrl-F11) you can even see the order of the drawing. And if you press Shift-I twice you can see that the sprites are drawn with the XOR blitter. If a torch is behind the prince, they're flashing). In vga mode, the default option is pack while in all other modes unpack is the default. If you set the non-default mode, the memory check on prince startup will compute the required memory incorrectly. Therefore, you may get "out of memory" errors during the game. Note that some sprites (actually 3, probably the most used ones) are always stored unpacked, regardless of this setting.

SoundFX 2000 is THE sound card emulator for DOS programs running on Windows XP, 2000 and NT4. As delivered, Windows XP, 2000 & NT4 provide a DOS emulation for running 16 and 32 bit protected mode programs but due to the security model, direct peripheral access is denied. Most DOS multimedia titles (games) provide sound by directly accessing the sound card and as a result although many can be run under Windows, until now none have been able to produce sound and hence lose a great deal of playability. SoundFX provides a complete emulation of a SoundBlaster 16 card and hence enables old favourites such as Doom (1 & 2), Heretic, Duke Nukem (2 & 3D) etc to be run with sound under Windows XP, 2000 & NT4.
Run PoP 1 v.1.3 or PoP 2's setup.exe and select "Roland MT-32/CM-32L/LAPC-1" in Sound Device and Music Synthesizer. Run Prince of Persia. In Munt, you can see the message/sound effect that is being played.

1.4 version was released to be more compatible with modern CPUs and operating systems. It was coded especially for the POP collection pack. POP2 was also revised in a similar manner (v1.1). They forced VGA in the case of 1.4 POP1 because ALL modern cpus and dos boxes have vga support. Levels and color scheme identical to v1.3 (Level 3 dungeon is dark green).

Graphics difference between Prince of Persia 1.0 and 1.3:
Game Freezes on first or second or in the cave levels and gets very slowly sometimes then stops or keeps moving slowing and freezing. To fix this problem, run the game under DosBox (go to the top of this page). This error is caused from the sound » you can delete all sound files and play the game in excellent condition but with no sound or sometimes keeps the files but play from the CPU sound not from your speakers. Go to the game directory right click on the prince.exe choose properties, then compatibility then select to start that game in window 95 or 98/Me.

ANSWER: The FILES line in config.sys stated how many files system would allow to be open at the same time. If the number was too small, some programs failed to work. And so did Prince of Persia. Probably this utility was for users who didn't dare to open config.sys by themselves because they were afraid they could mess something up. I don't see any other purpose. :)
Shadow: Levels 10, 11, 12 and 13. Flame: Levels 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 (B). And this is the explanation for this: This is another bug in the IR version (only in this version) in which you can turn into the flame in all the temple levels.
On IR, the goblin head guarding a power potion on room number 5 level 7 is rather close to the entrance, making it VERY hard to kill the head and get the potion. On 1.0 and 1.1 the goblin head is further away and makes it easier to kill it.
Install DOSBox, install it and open it, then go to: Edit -> Preferences, under DOSBox folder, in Folder Path, point to: "C:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.72". Under Mounting Drive, in Drive Letter, choose C (or whatever your drive letter is). Now go to: Edit -> Add new entry and in Path to executable, browse prince.exe (PoP1 or PoP2 executable file), name it, put it or create a new group, choose a description and optionally select an icon and click on OK. That's all, to play double click on the icon. You can add as much applications (games/programs) as you want.
The common problem in Prince of Persia 1 and 2 is the sound. The game won't run with the original sound under Windows NT (2000 and XP), unless you have an old DOS-compatible sound card (like SoundBlaster 16, SoundBlaster 16 Pro, etc.) configured in the setup.exe/install.exe of the game (version 1.3 and 1.4). However, using DOSBox you can run the game under its original sound (plus better graphics and performance).
If you need a frontend to edit the conf file, like D-Fend, try DosBoxGui: (editing the config file manually, it's actually very easy)
stdsnd -> Standard PC Internal Speaker adlib -> Ad Lib card covox -> Covox Sound Master device gblast -> Creative Labs Game Blaster ibmg -> IBM Music Feature Card (?) sblast -> Sound Blaster / Sound Blaster Pro or compatible tandy -> Tandy computers with digital sound support / 3-voice music support (descriptions are from v1.3's setup.exe, some tweaking was required)
Answer: In regedit ( Start > Run. > type: regedit ) add new string value named "Directory" under the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Red Orb\Prince of Persia 3D\1.0" key pointing to the directory where you have the game installed. That will solve the problem.

As you indicated in your notes, from alternate route (exit left door in level 6), getting first LE is super hard as goblin head is right at the climb up point, and you can't get past him, sword strikes don't work either. I ended up climbing up, and immediately back down a few times to get the goblin to move further left so you can climb up and turn around to fight.
QUESTION: The game doesn't want to work under my XP every time I open the game it gives me the same error:

The option probably is Windows' pathetic attempt to optimize RAM usage based on the dynamic requirements of a program. When you ALT+TAB away from the game, Windows after some time possibly reduces the amount of memory allocated to it, providing it with just enough to keep it going in the background.
Using a small tool called record-er (created by Piotr Kochanek ; peter_k), you can capture the animations from the game (PoP1&2). It create as many bmp files as there was recorded from the frames; therefore you can create your own gif animations by any program that can link *.bmp files into one file (gif, avi etc.). For example Animation Shop. This tool works only in DosBox or in a 9x Windows. And please note, in order to increase the frame buffer you have to increase memsize option in dosbox.conf file (to 64).

I guess if you'd erase KID.DAT from PoP1.3 or 1.4, maybe it would ask for "the disk" or even for re-installing it. The new versions weren't made for old floppies, AFAIK, but I'm not sure whether programmers bothered with removing this mechanism.

To take a single screenshot: If running the game under DosBox, press CTRL-F5 (Format will be 320x200/PNG). Screenshots taken are stored in C:\Program Files\DOSBox-x.xx\capture . Question: I once played PoP2 and finished the first level. Then came that level end music and the background music continued. When I pressed Alt+N, the bad end sequence came (or at least there stood "THE END"). What is that all about?! Answer: It's the demo version of PoP2. It's not the bad end, it's a message saying: THE END NOT! A thousand and one nightmares still await you, Shazdeh. Besides, aren't you the least bit curious where that ship's headed?

This tool wraps old DirectX commands from Dx 7.0 and lower for modern systems and that seems to work for PoP 3D. You just put the ddraw.dll in the game folder next to the exe.

(off: A similar patch for debugging has been created by htamas, and that doesn't have this upside-down bug :)) 4. Numeric arguments are processed using a counter that is decremented from 15 to 0. Each number is sprintf'ed to a buffer and searched within the command line. If it is found, the cycle stops and the starting level number is set to that number. That is, always the highest number is used if you pass more than one. If 0 or no number is given, the initial level number is set to 0, which means that the title sequence will be played. 5. The pack and unpack arguments determine how sprites are stored in memory. If pack is used, loading a level will simply copy the compressed bitmaps from disk to memory, and they will be decompressed when they are to be displayed. If unpack is used, sprites are decompressed when the level is loaded and simply copied to the screen buffer later. In unpack mode, loading a level takes longer time, which can even be seen in dosbox (If you start with the draw parameter and set CPU cycles to.

Literally there's no 5,25" nor 3,5" version of the game. The files are all same. The game's just thinking it's running from 5,25" disk, because of what is written above. It was made that way. If you would delete KID.DAT from 3,5" disk, it would ask for Disk 2 too. There's no programmed difference between those "versions", the EXE file is universal.
2. INSTALLATION: Install the game and copy following directories into your game directory. (since the second CD in pop3d uses safedisk protection, so you need to orig backup)
The MSDOSDATA environment variable is useful if you share the MSAV.EXE file with others, but use your own configuration for Anti-Virus for MS-DOS. For example, suppose the MSAV.EXE file is located in the root directory on drive P, a read-execute-only network server, and you want Anti-Virus for MS-DOS to use your own configuration when it starts. To specify that it use the MSAV.INI file located in the DOS directory on your drive C instead of the initialization file located on network drive P, add the following line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

QUESTION: If you run Prince of Persia 1 normally (not using DOSBox), and then you press CTRL-ESC (or the Windows key if you have it, or ALT-TAB, etc. to go to the desktop) and then return back to the game, the game will run faster for some seconds or sometimes will last until you close the game. Does anyone have a possible explanation why the game does that? I'm using Windows XP.

TITLE.DAT (title screen) PV.DAT (throne room cutscenes)
Shazdeh is an acronym for Shah Zadeh, which means the son of the king, or "The Prince"; but Shazdeh is not really his name, more like an honorary title by which he is called. In other words, saying "The Prince of Persia" is the same as saying "Shazdeh of Persia".
Most probably it's due to that option right there. Any DOS program under Windows XP and later (even ME I think) runs under a program (CMD.EXE) that's a really sad clone of a true DOS Emulator like DOSBox.
