Tested with my own Earth 2140 cd (unfortunately - AU/NZ version) and 0.74. Looks like if you press sb16 "test" button SEVERAL TIMES - the test work. Or you can lower the cycles percentage. Still no luck with GUS. Work in progress. 😀

Or try to mount your disk c with -freesize 500 parameter. DosBox do not like the 512+ Mb freesize.

Ok, after some testing I localized the source of this trouble. The trouble only occur in the GM as music source and SB16/Pro as sound effects. So it looks like HoF error, not DosBox. I do not have the hardware to test HoF in the real DOS with this settings, unfortunately.

Cycles=auto 25000, so I doubt that is the problem... Ok, I try SVN build and real DOS... Updated: SVN 3661 - same results.

Is there any real reason to run Win 95/98/ ME instead of 2000/XP for gaming? More then half pre-2001 PC games are not compatible with Xp or later. Sources of this are: - protections (early safedisk and laserlock). - old DX or OGL used (Arabian Nights as example). - new WinAPI in Xp (The Hive etc) - …

1) Try to change machine type in dosbox.conf machine=vesa_nolfb as example. 2) The game is using uvconfig version 5.2. So, try versions 5.3a or later.
