The concept for this was developed in an early PF Magic title, the fighting game Ballz for Sega Genesis. Creature Designz:Body: (Ball style design) The petz are modelled as a set of balls joined by lines with variable parameters. The Catz game also comes with the (already spayed/neutered, so no freakish hybrids unless you do a bit of tweaking) Bunniez breed, and Dogz players get Pigz. Oddballz: 102, Dynaroo, Grinnz, Honker, Jester, Lips, Modvark, Norvil, Quadrpus, Scorch, Snowbow, Walret, and Zott.Added in Petz 5 were the German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Jack Russel Terrier, Papillion, and Pug. Dogz: Bulldog, Chihuahua, Dachshund, Dalmatian (Dali), Great Dane, Labrador Retriever, Mutt, Poodle, Scottish Terrier (Scottie), and Sheepdog (Sheepie).Added in Petz 5 were the Desert Lynx, Egyptian Mau, Honey Bear, Japanese Bobtail, and Scottish Fold. Catz: Alley Cat, Black & White Shorthair (B&W), Calico, Chinchilla Persian, Main Coon, Orange Shorthair (Oshie), Persian, Russian Blue, Siamese, and Tabby.
#PETZ 5 HOW TO#
If you get an error telling you that your path cannot contain certain characters (! / $ % ?) when trying to install, follow the above directions on how to install to the C:/Petz 5 or C:/Games/Petz 5 listed above in the Missing Folders option. If you still don’t have sound, delete the file “smapi.dll” and try running the game again.
To correct this problem, delete the file and run Petz 5 again. The problem seems to be with the file “setupapi.dll” (which is installed in the same folder as the.
#PETZ 5 WINDOWS#
No sounds will be played.”Ī conflict between Windows 2000 or Windows XP and Petz 5 can result in an error that causes no sound. If all of these are updated, edit your screen resolution.Įrror: “Sound did not initialize.
#PETZ 5 DRIVERS#
The first step to solve this issue is to update your graphic drivers and Direct X. This is most often caused by your Graphic Drivers/DirectX being out of date or due to incompatible screen resolutions. Petz appear to be made of squares or triangles instead of balls, like the tabby pictured below. This may cause the rest of your screen to appear oddly colored, but your petz program should run fine and the rest of your computer will be restored after you close Petz.
#PETZ 5 .EXE#
exe file, click “Compatibility Problems” or “Troubleshoot Compatability” The directions are the same for the installation or for the program. You may need to use the compatability options to install or to run the program after it is installed. If you’ve already installed and run the program and need to rescue your files, see the instructions on the File Rescue page. When you run the initial installation, select C:/Games/Petz 5 or C:/Petz 5/ as the destination (you will have to enter this, if it doesn’t exist the installation will create it for you). If you want to be able to access the game files, you will need to install into C:/, not the default Program Files. When Petz is installed into Program Files Windows Vista, 7, and 8 makes the Adopted Petz and PetzPix folders invisible. Unless you particularly don’t want PetzA, I strongly recommend installing it. While not required, installing Sherlock Software‘s program PetzA may solve issues by auto-updating for you. Petz 5 runs on all versions of Windows newer than 3.1, though some minor modifications may need to be made during or after installation for compatability.
