Firstly great game, works wonderfully on dosbox emulator BUT I'm keen to get it running on an old 486 dx2 - 66mhz hardware.
Ive tried slowing it down with setmul (disabling L1 cache...brings it down to 386 speeds).
Also messing with the game runtime switches (/S and /G to change sound and graphic options)
Yet it still crashes everytime.
I can see its on the list of speed sensitive games, so before I give up... has anyone successfully gotten it work on original 386 / 486 hardware? Or is that still too fast?
If you have managed to get it running - what specs were you running on and what did you disable / change in your config.sys etc etc
If you haven't played it highly recommend playing the melee mode.
Note: star control 2 seems to load fine.

See below for resolution - ended up being a video/ soundcard issue
