I have to say this game is a HELL of a lot less creepy with general midi. The music sounds a lot less alien and instead of having strange creepy vibration effects, we have long drawn out but normal sounding strings. Disappointing but worth seeing. The Geoscape music does sound pretty good though : …

the music does not play when configured to play on General Midi. In other DOS games (master of Magic, Warcraft 1 and 2, sierra games, etc) it plays via the windows midi system (in this case, my software synth)

Darn, I've only found one demo out there and it's a pre-release demo with only sound blaster and fm synth (and it was difficult to install properly).

If your virtual drive in daemon tools is drive f and you want to mount it as a cdrom drive letter d you would type: mount d f:\ -t cdrom similar to what the dosbox instructions how if you read the instructions with it. I'm lucky I still have my Master of Magic and Xcom Cds in good working order ( …

Keep it the same. I like how it runs more than games (like how it runs my old win 3.1 floppies...)

I know you've all recently helped me with a Might and Magic issue (and I am very grateful for that.) but I had managed to find and dig out my old Xcom UFO defense and Xcom Terror from the deep Cds and installed them. They work great. Just one minor snag. Other games when I run them use my windows …

the world of xeen uses actual redbook cd-audio tracks for many of the voices, and they do not record when capturing a video in DosBox =(

I also figured out why the other half of the voices don't capture when I use the demo. I ran it with a different CD in, it turns out the World of Xeen demo uses CD audio for the character voices that aren't hard-coded into the game. Any way to make DOSbox capture the CD audio being used as well? And …

you don't need to mount them, just copy them to your hard drive in whatever folder you've mounted as C and run them from there, the command is just demo (except might and magic 3, that's "mm3 v s" for VGA and sound blaster

Hm... that demo seems to be a bit different from mine. This demo you install and for some reason it runs fine... but my demo is one you run right off the CD. Really all of the Might and Magic demos on the CD seem to experience some sort of issue that also seems to somewhat replicate in the legit …
