Ultima Underworld and sound volumes

I noticed that when I play Ultima Underworld (the first one) it somehow alters DosBox's sound volumes. Sound Blaster is set to 55, while other audio devices stay where they are. No wonder the music was always overpowering the sound effects! Now, I have two questions about this: How is the game doing …

Terminator 2029 Deluxe sound going haywire

This only happens on a select few game maps for whatever reason. When a specific sound plays, the whole sound goes apeshit, playing loud beeps and static that frankly reminds me of a 56.6 kbit modem. One instance of this happening is when I destroy anything on the second level of Skynet's satellite. …

Alpha Storm does not find CD

I'm having trouble with this rather obscure game. I've installed it, yet when I try to run it, I get this message: There seems to be an error from your CD. You must have your Alpha Storm CD in your CD drive. Please check your CD and retry. I have tried several different command lines to mount the CD …

Unfortunately at least on my DosBox 0.72 it results in the game running at 320x480 (screenshot attached) which is hardly an ideal resolution. Here's the …

Installing Jungle Strike from CD-ROM

If I want that, the installation program says it's checking the speed of my CD-drive. Then it just stays there and nothing happens. I am using a CD-image, which I have tried both by …

Ultima Underworld sound problems

In Ultima Underworld 1, if I set the sound for Roland, the music plays perfectly, but footsteps and other sound effects sound like plinks and plonks like somebody playing a keyboard synthetizer. If I set sound for Sound Blaster, the sound effects are much better but still not accurate, but the music …

Wing Commander + joystick = choppy music

Wing Commander runs fine in DOSBox otherwise, but if I try to use my ye olde Gravis joystick, music gets choppy (=has split second pauses, more if I move the joystick around). I have 1,3 GHz AMD Athlon with 256 MB memory. The joystick plugs into the gameport at my Sound Blaster 128 PCI card. …
