Could you clarify one thing.
how can you actually operate those tiny lemmings when you need a speech synthesizer to read the things of your screen ?

I don't play the games as such. I just wanted to hear the music and hear how good the sound was.
I got sighted assistance from someone who told me about how oh no more lemmings kept asking for a disk under dosbox, in the end, I got oh no running under vdmsound, with music playing. Dont ask me about the picture though, at least I got it running

ps: Please please please please dont think I am having you on and am trying to pull some kinda trick and end up flaming me.
I have always been interested in computer games since I was little, even though I was born blind, it's the music, the sound, the atmosphere. I know how it all must sound so far fetched, but you have to believe me.

That clears it up. We were just wondering.

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to download game MIDIs from the net, though?

One thing I can recommend: find and try Silpheed. I really like the music that plays when you lose the game (should be easy enough if you can't see -- I can't win even though I am fully sighted).

No, it's not just the music, it's also the sound effects.
So does anyone know why oh no more lemmings won't run under dosbox, or the soundcard routines freezing up ken's labyrynth?
Thanks

I've always found Ken's Lab sound support to be somewhat buggy.

You'd probably be better off asking the man himself: http://advsys.net/ken/default.htm

Here's his Ken's Lab page:
http://advsys.net/ken/default.htm

Has an SDL port of Ken's Lab.

The version of oh no more lemmings I have works fine under dosbox (the cycles have to be around 3000 for the game to detect adlib). I don't know the second game...

edit: Ah, just noticed another thing...how are you starting lemmings? My version has Vgalemmi.exe and some bat file - Lemmings.bat. The bat file calls Lem_tsr.com before vgalemmi.exe. If I start the exe directly the game will complain to insert original disk...seems like that tsr is a crack 😀. If you have original disks make sure the floppies are mounted correctly...

Hmmmm. I wonder why vdmsound likes oh no more lemmings then?
Thanks for the help guys.
