Hello guys!

Fisrst of all sorry for my broken english.

Yesterday i had some experiments with all versions of Goblins games that i have and DOSBOX 0.60 in WinXP+SP1.

Games are (sorry, but don't remember version numbers now):
- Gobliiins 1 CGA/EGA (FDD)
- Gobliiins 1 VGA (FDD, downloaded from "The Home of Underdogs" site)
- Gobliins 2 VGA (FDD, downloaded from "The Home of Underdogs" site)
- Goblins 3 VGA (FDD, downloaded from "The Home of Underdogs" site)
- Goblins Quest 3 VGA (FDD)

- Gobliiins 1 CD-version
- Gobliins 2 CD-version
- Goblins 3 CD-version 1.0
- Goblins Quest 3 CD-version 1.0

And what i want to say:

1. All latest versions WORKS.

2. All latest FDD-versions (floppy) works GREAT!!!

3. There is a perfomance bug in "Goblins 3" and "Goblins Quest 3" CD-versions (can't to fix it, but it's not a big trouble, because of this game works not bad in WinXP + VDMSound).

4. There are a problems with synchronization of AudioCD sound and intro movies in "Gobliiins" and "Gobliins 2" CD-versions, but it's POSSIBLE to MANUALLY fix them (some sort of trick) while watching Introductions.
For example, to synchronize sound and video in INTRO movie, for "Gobliiins 1" CD-version you must do following:
- set "CPU cycles"=30000 (in DOSBox config file for this game);
- start game and be ready to press CTRL+F11;
- when Goblin's King just start to speak, while HOLDING Ctrl button, press VERY FAST "F11" button 11 times (to decrease "CPU cycles" from 30000 to 3000).
If you do it fast and at correct time, you'll get ideal sound and video synchronization.
The same for "Gobliins 2" CD-version too, but you must press Ctrl+F11 about 15 times to decrease "CPU cycles from 60000 to 3000" as soon as Wizard start to speak.

I have tested it only on my home PC, so perhaps, on other systems you must to correct cycles and delays. 🙄

But in any case, you need this synchronization trick for synchronization sound and video at INTRO MOVIES *ONLY*, and whole other scenes in this games must works great without any tricks with constant "CPU cycles"=3000! 😀

By the way:

1. In DOSBox config you must mount CD-ROM drive with "-ioctl" option;

2. DON'T use oficial patch updates for "Gobliiins" and "Gobliins 2" CD-versions, because you should get (in DOSBox) better synchronization in intro (but still NOT perfect), but you get in game minor shit too - fucking delays every second

If anybody need all my config files and bat-files/sortcuts, contact with me by e-mail or ICQ.

DOSBox - Rulezzzzz!!!
(In waiting new versions with much better support...)
