Hi, I check the readme and for stuttering sound it said do ctrl+f8 something like that to change the framerate, which didn't help. I am having trouble with sound on prince of persia 2. I am on DOSBOX v.73. Sometimes when you kill an enemy it makes sound, sometimes it does not. My question is, is this dosbox, my computer or the copy of the game and were would be a good place to get another copy? I am running Windows Vista, Pentium Dual core 2.00 ghz, Intel chipset for graphics. I am not sure how to check soundcard so please tell me and I will reply with that ASAP. I am also on a laptop.
Thanks!

If you hit the enemy while he is far away from you, you hit him only with the tip of your sword, he falls down the building to the street and he screams while flying. If the enemy gets closer to you, you hit him with the whole sword, he dies on top of the roof and he doesn't scream.

Have you tried running the game's sound configuration utility to make sure it's using settings that correspond to your DOSBox sound emulation settings?

Since you are using an illegal copy I suggest you take your questions to the place you obtained it. Experience tells me, that your problem is not caused by a problem with DOSBox, but with how the copy was made.

The question you need to ask yourself now is this:

Is my time spent in getting this illegal copy to work in DOSBox worth more to me, than the costs of buying a legally licensed copy of the game on eBay, Amazon or some other reputable site?

Abandonware is not legal to steal.

Yes, it’s my fault.
