Hey all,

Trying to run Prince of Persia in DosBox 0.61. It seems like AdLib emulation is working, but I can't seem to get Prince to use the SoundBlaster (i.e. no scream when he falls, etc.)

Motherboard: ASUS P4G8X
Processor: P4 3.0GHz
Video: Gainward 5200 Golden Sample (nVidia based); 128 MB
Sound Board: Built in (AC97)
OS: XP Pro

I've already noticed that DOSBox has the BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T4 already set when it starts. I don't see anything in Prince that legs you change this.

I haven't tried other games that use SB.

not every version of Prince of Persia 1 has setup (only v1.3 has).
other thing is that i think there is no screaming in PoP1, screaming when falling was only in PoP2.

My Prince of Persia doesn't have any setup utility but it allows certain command-line parameters for sound. I'll check it when I arrive home because i am at work now.

I tried another game that had soundblaster, and that game worked fine. I suspect it's due to no setup utility on my version, but perhaps command line parameters. I'll have to check for another version of Prince of Persia and see.

Looking inside Prince of Persia main executable (v 1.3), i see the following command-line parameters:

stdsnd
adlib
imbg
gblast
sblast
tandy
disney
mvpas
compuadd
midi

Which should be self-explanatory. I think PoP accepted parameters "as-is", i.e, without slash

Example. PRINCE.EXE adlib

I got another version of PoP, and that ran fine with the proper sound.

Thanks all.
