did you enable intelligent in the cvs ?

I forgot, but it makes no difference. I have to add that I lack any install program belonging to the game but replaced the Adlib driver with the Roland driver in the game configuration file manually. So perhaps something isn't configured right then.

you type huge/i to run setup

but the game doesn't work with dosbox's intelligent mpu-401 emulator

Got it working. This has to be added to mpu401.cpp ( end of MPU401_WriteCommand function):

1if (!mpu.state.playing && mpu.intelligent) {
2			QueueByte(MSG_CMD_ACK);
3			mpu.state.irq_pending=true;
4			PIC_ActivateIRQ(mpu.irq);
5		}

However, it tends to break other games so a better solution will have to be made. MPU-401 Manual says that status bit for the data queue is connected to irq input line and I always suspected that all commands should trigger irq by filling the data queue, but didn't have a game to figure this out exactly (others worked with only reset command tied to irq).

It works very well with "It came from the Desert". Sadly, Cinemaware didn't put much effort into the PC version so the sound is still inferior to the Amiga version.

Hail to the Master of the Intelligent Mode!
