Even with default settings the sound hardware should be on. The question is what game are you trying to get sound in and is it properly configured there?

No its on but the audio skips and skips and skips. the game is at http://www.dosgamesarchive.com/download/game/147 would you test it out on your computer then tell me if it works with you?

Audio skipping typically means you don't have enough power to handle running the sound. This is quite likely the case too with just 450MHz. You can lower the sound quality in the config file, up the prebuffer, try lowering the CPU cycles you're using, and upping the frame skip. Also, using Roland or General MIDI for the music is typically much more stable on OS X than adlib for me. All of these should be able to help somewhat, but you shouldn't get your hopes up too high either. On my Mac mini (1.42 GHz G4) I've got it running with smooth sound but I can't afford to up the cycles far enough to keep it running full speed compared to the SNES original mentioned bellow.

As an alternative I hope you realize this same game exists on the SNES and Snes9x tends to require less horsepower and tweaking on OS X.

Ok. well could you give me numbers you would recommend for those inputs you mentioned?

You change the settings in your config file. You'll want to have no scaler if you can bear it, if any use normal2x. Thse the simple CPU core and up the cycles as needed. If you wanna try lowering the sound quality replace all instances of "22050" in the file with "11025". Switching to MT-32 is something you have to do in the game's sound setup, which your demo does indeed have.

(Sorry I was gone 😵 ) Ok well that helped but what about stats for the prebuffer, blocksize, frameskip, and cpu cycles?

I wouldn't bother with blocksize myself, as for the rest, as I said you need to experiment yourself and see what your system can handle. It's completely dependent on you. To be perfectly blunt though I didn't find performance all that thrilling on my system that's about three times more powerful than yours. So I'd seriously recommend that for this game you give the SNES version a whirl. It'll be much more worth your time.

Here why don't I just use the snes emulator 😜 But I will only use one if you give me a link to the emulator AND a link to a MegaMan game. (Zelda is also acceptable)

Linking to commercial ROMs would be illegal and a violation of forum rules. You can find everything you need using Google.

I'm not trying to be offensive, just honest. I highly doubt your system can run the game you want to in dosbox. If you need info on Mac emulators check out http://www.macemu.com. ROMs are a no go.

o ok. well thanks. do you know where i could go in the forum to find roms to link to? what about linking to a website of roms rather than a specific rom?

No. Just do a google search for snes roms. I hate to sound like a jerk but please stop asking before someone locks this thread.

okokok dude I wuz just askin 😵

...*googles "snes roms"*...

HURRAY I FOUND A ROM!!! 😁
