Got it, once I figured out how to go fullscreen with DosBox and install the sbdrv.exe everything worked fine. Didn't even need to use VDMsound. Thanks anyways, learned somthing anyway 😀

I hope you're referring to this DOSBox...
In any case, are you sure you installed the updated sound driver and were running the game by right-clicking and choosing "Run with VDMS"? Just curiously, since the sound will be better natively 'till Qbix or Harekiet decide to implement some of VDMSound's code. (Soon, perchance?)

What I don't get is why you didn't just install the Windows version and use compatibility mode?

That's the DosBox I used. Yes, updated the sound driver, using the 2.0.4 of VDMS and right clicked to run it with it too. I don't know why it wouldn't work and then worked for Dosbox. Seemed VDMS should have worked before dosbox did.
The reason I used disk version is because that's all I've got, I don't have the CD version...Doesn't really matter right now anyway, I'm in the process of buying a used set of the "Leisure Suit Larry: Ultimate Pleasure Pack" which will have the windows versions along with LSL7 😀

Van

dunno about that,

Sound has always been harekiets area.

Sound isn't bad actually 😀 It might be in 0.57 sometimes because of the singlethreadedness we introduced (and removed now).

Maybe really short sounds are still a problem. but maybe we have to precache the sound stream

So do I, the Windows installer is there on the disk version. You run the SETUP.EXE (with the shield icon) instead of the INSTALL.BAT

I'm not saying the sound is bad, I'm just saying it'd be nice to have 16-bit stereo sound. 😀 If you're feeling REALLY ambitious you could even add a Pro Logic decoder to send to the rear channels of anyone that has a surround sound system. 😁

Just as a side note, most of the Philips soundcards do this automatically. Does a good job of it too (only within Windows, naturally).

I wonder if CMSS does that...hmm...

LSL6 (floppy version) works just swell with VDMSound over here. Dunno why it won't work with VDMSound but would with DosBox, probably something to do with the game's config (have you run INSTALL) and SB version reported by VDMSound vs. DosBox.

Ok, all is running ok, but my mouse isn`t working...
In old times I used to start some mouse.exe file to make my "animal" work while DOS`ing.
Any help on that?

Please do not double-post. Doing so just irritates us to all hell and may cause delay/ignorance of your problem. Just something to remember in the future.

Ok, I have no idea if this is the same person who originally had problems back in January. I'm guessing not, since Van (the original "Unregistered") got it working in DosBox, but was getting the LSL "Ultimate Pleasure Pack" to get all the Windows versions (even though the Win version was also on the LSL6 floppies).

In any case, if you're running this within Windows (have no idea since you don't say) you shouldn't need to load any kind of mouse driver and there's probably a problem with the OS.

If you're running it within DosBox you need use CTRL-F10 to Capture or Release the mouse. This is contained in the README that comes with the program.
