Hi,
I've been trying to get the CD version of Delta V to work under DOSBox. Even though the games list say Delta V is fully supported, I can't get it to work properly with sound enabled.
- - If I disable digitised sound, it works fine.
- When choosing Sound Blaster/Compatible or Sound Blaster Pro/16, the game loading screen shows up and dumps me back to DOS saying "Error <9874>".
- I tried the Gravis UltraSound mode, but that needs ULTRAMID.EXE to be loaded, which then takes up about 50K of memory and doesn't leave the 600K (614,400 bytes, not 600,000) Delta V requires to run. (Impossible to load it high, since DOSBox doesn't support UMBs, AFAIK).
Some remarks:
- - The music setting has no influence on all this.
- I have tried copying the Miles Audio Drivers from other games to no effect.
- It gives me the 9874 error code when I run through raw WinXP.
- Also gives me error 9874 when running through VDMSound (whew -- difficult to get VDMSound running and have 616400 bytes free -- woohoo 2000 bytes to spare).
- I've installed the Delta V CD patch, to no effect (it is only meant to fix levels 6 and 9 anyway).
Has anybody managed to run this game in DOSBox?
