Disable sound (not music) and try if it works then.

Hey Gil, I'm just curious, did you used to translate old Nintendo video games into English?

Sorry for the late reply (I've been a "bit" busy with 11-hours per day university lessons), but the anwer is nope, never did any translation job for Nintendo.

I just had to ask, I thought you were someone else, that's all.

Anyway, back to being on topic.

Yeah, I own Theme Hospital, actually it's my wife's and it runs awesome on our computer.

The thing is, it's for Windows but I would like to run in under DosBox.

The reasoning behind this is so I can play it on my TV, I've got a soft-modded Xbox.

Are they any files that I can substitute or something that I can do so it will run under DosBox?

Has anybody every even played this game under DosBox, if so, how was the framerate and game speed?

That's for helping this troubled soul out.
