Well a little update. I found another VIA chipset Slot1 motherboard i had in a box. It was out of a Compaq and the chipset is VT82c693. So i popped in a 500 PIII as that is the max it will support. And I get the sound Snapping issue with this board as well regardless any port,irq, software combo. …

I have disabled the USB, Serial and Printer ports. Turned off APCI in the bios. Turned off assigning an …

Basically the issue is this. I upgraded from a SS7 board to a ACORP 6VIA81P/6BX/VIA/ZX81 slot 1 motherboard. Currently houses a PIII733, 128 SD 133MHZ RAM, Geforce 4MX 420 AGP with ISA Sound Blaster Awe 32 (CT3780)Non PNP and Running Dos 7.1 No Windows. I chose this board because it supports Floppy …

Thank you, Blades, I'll try that when I go to my father where that DOS PC with the CT3670 is (I don't have any issue on the CT2950 on my Olivetti here though, it's happening only on the CT3670). No problem! Good luck. I enjoyed the game when it came out decades ago(never will forget downloading …

Also just read the link provided by another user above and the info towards the bottom of the page. And the FAQ suggested pretty much what I did about a year ago to make the game work for me as listed in the above post. Good luck!

Yep, been through this before. This can work on other games as well. I created a batch file just for Hocus Pocus. I use General Midi for music. Sounds great to me! Inside my Hocus directory I created a Hocus.bat file with the following lines. aweutil /EM:GM set blaster=a220 i7 d1 h5 t3 hocus.exe set …

Ha, that would be worth juggling dozens of floppies for. How many people bought this 1993 game thinking it was the actual game from the film? Well I was a big fan of Interplay's Battle Chess at the time. And the box lets you know exactly what you are buying. So it was Star Wars Battle Chess …

Another thing, is this game unusual to have so many disks Star Wars Chess from the year before was infamous for its disk count ( 14 1.44M's iirc) and its apology for it, and that's just half of the install process - the other half was a lengthy sound decompression process. Yes, THIS!!!! I remember …
