I'm not sure - but that is most probable. During the install it does ask for target dir, and I cannot be sure the directory in DosBox matches the PREVIOUS install. As for the GUS, I know DosBox emulates it, and quite well, however there are some "quirks" I loved that the emulation does not replicate …

OK, I fixed it, though I have no fucking clue how. One step was to get the game install.exe to work. It requires VESA, so I took one of the 2 VESA machine types, also fiddled with some screen settings. Pehw.

No machine= setting works. With some, Dosbox crashes on game init.

The plot thickens Changing the machine= var changes the problematic behavior considerably. Maybe this is actually a write-to-[wrong addr]screen problem

False alarm. With 16megs there is no error output, but the problem persists.

Wait a minute, 1f00... that's beyond the 32Mbytes threshold! Am I right?

I did try the different soundblaster types. Just as with GUS there is simply no effect to the card chosen. Just now did I note that the DosBox status window actually outputs illegal memory writes: Illegal read from 1f002bd, CS:IP 180: 345c2c Illegal read from 1f002be, CS:IP 180: 345c2c There are …

Some more details: fiddling with the [mixer] vars rate blocksize prebuffer alters the problematic behavior, but does not fix it. The music plays for 20 seconds and then dies. Since the problems persist when changing the game soundcard (SB/GUS) I deduce the problem must lie in the way dosbox uses …

No music, Weird screeching sound on game init+big delay. sound effects often (every couple of seconds) stutter or delayed. Reason I use Orion2.exe and not Orion95.exe: 1. It has this cool feature that after an hour without activity it does a soft, long fade-out. 2. Fewer glitches. CPU: Intel Core i5 …

That's an interesting idea! Problem is I know absolutely nothing about that stuff. Here is the SB section from my dosbox.conf: sbtype=sb16 sbbase=220 irq=7 dma=1 hdma=5 mixer=true oplmode=auto oplrate=22050 The oplmode parameter accepts "auto,cms,opl2,dualopl2,opl3" Any idea what I should use? Worst …

There is no such option. The options for music board include adlib/sb, roland and 'no music'.

I am trying to modify (correctify...) xCom music. I used the OPL commands option, and the result is usable. I now need to convert that to midi inorder to manipulate instruments. I found here (and only here) a proggy called dro2midi, but when I tried it issued an erroe message "This song uses …

I know i must not complain of bugs, but should I report them? (not that I found any yet) and again... (cover your ears): Thank you!!!

I understand that it's the next phase? Any release date available?

The attached cheat util (MOO save file map editor) doesn't work, it reports it could not reconize the graphics card. Any fix? Something I've missed?
