And you are sure that cutscenes are present in your version, and you
installed the game within dosbox?
I am sure that my version off the game has cutscenes, ´cause it had some when i first played it in 1995. And it is an original game.
I tried the win install first, but it crashed instandly. So i mounted the gamedirectory like (mount c c:\games ) and my cd-rom ( mount d d:\ -t cdrom)
And then I executed the dos install and everything went good. But still no cutscenes.
Now what??
This is a known problem.
I don't know if it is still broken but you need to use
-usecd #number and -ioctl at least when mounting your cdrom.
Water flows down the stream
How to ask questions the smart way!
If it's a mounting problem, try to create a bin/cue of the file and mounting it through IMGMOUNT from dosbox itself, sometimes this solves my game related problems...

Sorry for being such a rookie, but how do i create a bin/cue or IMGMOUNT??
I tried this: mount d d:\ -t cdrom -ioctl -usecd0
And started the game with the flag -2 ( C:\f2b -2)
Now I can see the cutscenes in the options/savegame etc. section, but still not in the game.
by the way the scenes play, but sligthly corrupted.
Know something new??
I think you must leave a blank space after the usecd parameter.
mount d d:\ -t cdrom -ioctl -usecd 0

I just tried running Fade to Black from an iso image, and the cutscenes are very fluid and nice. Only problem is that there was no sound!
When I launched the game the following message appears.
WARNING : Single speed CDROM detected, sounds will be desactivated in cinematics
Do you want to continue anyway ? (Y,N)
However, thanks to HunterZ who wrote the previous thread, this is easily fixable. Just start the game typing f2b -2 and it will override the CDROM detection.
So in the end, it all works just fine 😎
The only problem with Fade to Black now is that the stereo sound is switched. Left/Right speakers should change places. Playing with the old original Sound blaster makes the game run in mono which is more pleasant than wrong stereo sounds.
Ok. I´ve done everything mentioned in this posts and the game is running.
But has onyone the scenes during the game? I played ´till the end of the first section, but the scene only appears and can be played in the options menue.
