Hello, I have been trying to make OMF2097 work on two computer but have never been able to make the sound work. No FX nor Music, but the game run smooth. I'm starting to think that I miss something else than memory and cards config. Here is the config:
- machine 1: pentium1-200mmx, 128mb ram, freedos 7.1, fat32 udma CF of 16gb and a guspnp.
- machine 2: pentium pro 200, 96mb ram, dos 6.22, fat 16 udma CF of 8gb and a gus classic.
I did play with the configuration of the card: baseport, dma, irq... The memory: different memory manager, way exceeding the base requirement of 2.5mb high and 540kb base. Notice that on the pentium1-200mmx when I try to run Jazz Jackrabbit, the screen startup say that I have to configure the soundcard even tho I did (and no file are read only). On OMF on the startup screen I have a something that look like a strange message on the lower of the startup screen with some garbage that look like ":j" is written, but I think it's random, maybe it's related to the no sound issue.
If anybody have a working config with a similar setup as mine (not dosbox), could you please tell me about the config.sys and autoexec.bat he use and the card configuration ? I'm in no way interested in using sbos or a soundblaster to play this game.
I used to be able to play that game with volume punching to the extreme the sfx and the incredible soundtrack. Now it just don't make sense playing on mute with my friend when we have the occasion 😢 ... Let's fix that for the next showdown ! 😏
