ok forget alomst everything,
on dosbox i fixed that cannot find cdrom error(well fixed alone after i restarted my pc). and the music was ok but the video was slow so i increased the cycles a bit and the video improved a little bit and sound ok, but if increased even more the cycles the vido wouldnt be perfect and sound satrted to corrupt.
so i tried on VDMS and i managed to hear on VDMS but not completely, because for example on the fight screen i could not hear the fight! or any of the hits from the players.
so what can i do?

and now i when i try to use dosbox y get this error:

CONFIG:Loading settings from config file dosbox.conf
MIDI:Opened device:win32
Exit to error: PIC:Unhandled command 00

Normaly Mk2 AND Mk1 are using Sound Blaster or Roland, you can configure it when pressing G9 during the game (as far i remember) - its where you can change you key-configuration, the there should be sound (me thinks 😀 )

I mean "F9" not G9

Hi.

I've backed up the original CDs for Mortal Kombat.

Works fine for MK3 and MK Trilogy (on DOSBox I mean), but the CD I have for MK1+MK2 gives me problems: After I install the games, I configure them and everything seems to work fine. But then when I run either game, it asks for the CD, and even though I triple-checked that everything is in order and that the "disc" is in (I used the image I backed up), it still insists I should insert the CD in the drive, or it won't run. (I even tried to restart my computer, but to no avail) The problem also occured when I inserted the actual CD and mounted the disc drive instead.

Any ideas as to why it happens? I seriously doubt they had that good a copy-proptection system back then.

OK, I got the problem solved. Apparently, my CD-ROM drive was mounted as drive E, but for an unknown reason the MK games assume that my CD-ROM drive is D, even though the game was installed from E. Since I couldn't change the MK games to look for E, I remounted the CD drive as D, and problem solved.

Does anyone know how is it possible? Why would the games would look for a CD in D even though it was installed from E? Is it necessarily an MK bug or could it be a DOSBox bug?

Thanks!

dos games don't like that D:\ is missing
they tend to do things like
check if C exists=> yes check if D exists => yes check if E exists.
If it gets a no on D:\ then it won't check E:\
