For all intents and purposes it's an SN76489, though. They're basically the same chip, and "SN76489" is the better known name. I hear that the "set frequency to 0" trick doesn't work on SN chips made by TI, so it's quite possible that the test program (the ASM code above) will output nothing on a …

I wasn't too sure which forum to put this in, so I'm putting it here. Please move as necessary. (Maybe it should go in one of the DosBox forums, but I'm also interested in how this behaves on a real Tandy...) I'm writing an NSF player -- y'know, Nintendo music -- for the Tandy 1000 and IBM PCjr. So …

Also be warned that a lot of people ignore topics with unhelpful subjects. "How do u run it??" How do we run what ? If you think this will get us to look at the message, you are mistaken: many people won't even bother looking at it. And to answer your question, I don't know. - Kef P.S. To quote …

Heh, I know I've posted a bazillion times already, but I made some more progress with Bochs. The problem was I was using the wrong version of Bochs. I was using a newer, beta version than the current stable release. It turns out that the older version still panics when you do things like use the …

Umm...not to be bitchy, but I'm kind of wondering why people are bothering to say "I got it working with VDMSound!" without explaining in the least what they did to get it to work. After all, I already STFW (Searched The @#!* Web), and I've tried various settings to no avail, so it's not like I'm …

Maybe you should try combining files from both versions (i.e exe & config.dat from no-surgery version with the rest). It may be possible to create a complete working game. I really doubt it; I'm relatively certain it's the ld2.exe that was cracked to make the game work (and to remove the surgery) …

It kind of goes without saying because there's a huge thread on it right now, but: Life & Death 2 is b0rked as well (config file error after installation).

Heh, I tried the link anyway, even though it wasn't supposed to be posted. Took me a couple mins to find the thing. Yes, it works in DosBox, but surgery is completely disabled, and yes, digital sound effects are screwed (dunno if it's a problem with the crack or with DosBox, but somehow I think the …

uhh...if I understand correctly, we're not supposed to post abandonware links. We can say the names of sites but we can't link to them. In any case, I already said that Home of the Underdogs has the original, complete game, which should work under "normal" conditions, it's just nobody has normal …

I did, actually, but it didn't work for me (at least not yet). Damn this game is stubborn. 😀 - Kef

Found something that is actually relevant to DosBox! ~gasp~ I did a search for this: vdmsound "life and death 2" on a search engine, and I stumbled upon a Spanish-language page about DosBox. It was basically a tutorial, but at the bottom it has a list of games and their working status. Life and …

Arrrgh. Found another lockup bug/unimplemented feature in Bochs, this time in EGA mode: I was trying to drill a burr hole in the patient's skull in a subdural hematoma operation as you normally would, and the game froze and Bochs again gives the SIGILL error. Apparently, there's no way to get the …

I'd actually stumbled upon the SUBST trick when I installed this game a couple years ago on my old comp (without any emulation). It does work correctly. Anyway, to reconfigure the settings, all you have to do is just run the installer again. There are sound configuration settings: it will ask you to …

I deleted my previous posts in this thread, because I felt they were just cluttering it up and not really contributing. Instead I've compactly summarized all my findings as follows: The Life & Death 2 installation ZIP on Home of the Underdogs (the easiest place to find them) is not corrupt. It will …
