Setsound.bat, GUS + MPU401 are set. 3dpinbal.exe - no errors, game run smoothly... 800x600, cd music etc... Dosbox settings …

You need to replace japanese keyboard driver (106/109 key) with standard HID driver. Vista or Win7 - no matter... The source of this trouble is similar.

I checked my own LoK CD, all sounds are ok. IRQ 7 was used. So set your awe64 with irq7 and try again... Or you can use DosBox.

You always can install virtual machine with Win98 or WinME on it.

Theoretically, disabling directdraw graphical acceleration can help. dxdiag.exe/Display/Disable DirectDraw acceleration. I run Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels with this tweak.

I do not have Win7, so - not 100% sure. In Vista this is in Control Panel/Regional and Languages options/Keyboard and Languages. If you see something like "Japanese 106/109" - you find the trouble's source.

Looks like your keyboard layout is simply set as "japan 106/109" in windows settings. Change to standard english 101/102.

Continuous beep is SB16 drivers issue... First I load drivers from creative.com and - beeps are here... SB16 drivers from "dosbox guides" topic - no continuous beeps, all works perfectly... Now I can at last test my "Critical Path" copy. 😀

Maybe Alien Logic use old CTMMSYS SB interface, so this is the cause for "no sound" issue? Music is CDA and play w/o errors. The cd have 5 CDA tracks. And still the game is too fast... 🙁

Load Ultramid before mk2.exe. In other words - install GUS DOS software from the DosBox.

Mau1wurf1977 - you don't understand the problem. DosBox output in the text modes is always in 8:5 aspect. If your full-screen resolution is 4:3 (1024x768 as example) - you simply have black areas on top and bottom. Real hardware just use non-square pixels for this (as for 640x400 and 320x200 modes). …
