Okay, I manged to make this game run on higher cycles, but it messes up the speech in the game. If I play with less cycles, the speech gets fine, but the game gets slow... AND as English is not my native language, I have some difficult time trying to understand the dialogues without subtitles. But I can´t have subtitles and speech in this Sierra game (LucasArts games have that option). This way, I prefer having only text and no voices, than rather only voices.
But the problem is that the option of switching voices and text are only available through the ingame control panel on the SVGA (= VESA = slower) mode. It just doesn´t appear on the control pannel if I switch the game to VGA Mode (by editing RESOURCE.CFG)!!
I experimented starting the game on SVGA mode, switching to text only, saving the game, exiting, changing to VGA mode, and restoring the game... it worked... until I tried to open the control panel. It freezes the game. Music continue playing, but the game freezes...
I remember playing this game when it was released on CD-ROM back in 93 or 94, and I could play it VGA with text, but I can´t remember how... I´ve already tried some combinations of .DRV files for music and audio on the RESOURCE.CFG file, but with no success whatsoever 😢
Please help...
