Install the game in DOSBox version 0.74 (mount both CD and harddisk). Keep all default dosbox.conf settings, except for cycles=auto limit 80000.

Use the official 0.74 release and start off with a CLEAN config file.

There are lots of things wrong with this config.

You should not use 1000 cycles. Use auto.

You should not use simple core. Use dynamic.

You should not use memsize 63. Use 16.

You should not use vga. Use svga_s3.

You should not use rate 8000. Use 48000. (this is especially important since your motive behind this is to cruise through a crappy port with the great CoLD SToRAGE soundtrack)

Thank you so much for your reply. I was so happy to recieve it. I made the requisite changes you reccomended to the config file i.e rate=48000 etc and it still crashes when run from cd 😕 (this means still no cold storage 😢 ). i even ran imgmount with a image file even that crashed.because the game audio comes when run from cd and not when run from hard disk could it mean it crashes when the run from cd and not when run from hard disk due to the audio.
I dont want to pester you, could you please help me one last time. Also can i just use mount c c:\ to mount the hard disk or should i mount a subdirectory or the whole drive. Thanks .
