I have been trying to play Balloon challenge in real EGA environment but each time it just gives me "Illegal function call" error. I have tested it two different EGA computers and with newer dos as well but it just doesn't seem to work. Soleau's games are supposed to work always either in EGA or VGA and I have been playing several Soleau games in my EGA computer already but this one just doesn't do whatever I try.

Anyone knows what could possibly be wrong and whether there's any solutions?

Okay, nevermind I solved it. Every single Soleau game I have played before in EGA, it auto switches from low res to hi-res EGA when starting the game but this one can't do it but expects the system to be already in hi-res EGA mode when starting.

BTW: On the other hand, I wonder why the speaker sound effects are so much different from emulator. In real speaker the sound of balloon raising up is so short and muted while in dosbox it's loud.
