As a fan of Dune 2, you should check out Super Dune 2 . Fixes bugs, and makes the AI more competent (which might or might not be something you want, heh). Nice :D Is there a way to turn up the music ? its soft compared to the fx. Veil of Darkness was a favorite of mine back in the day, although now …

Since you mention Dune 2, you probably know there is an upgrade setup program from Westwood you can download that allows different soundcards for sfx and music. There is a similar upgrade setup program for Lands of Lore. In case you are unware, SVN has an oplmode=opl3gold setting to support the …

I was playing around with Dune II, when I discovered a soundblaster+mt32 patch. Now I only remember playing it with soundblaster back in the day. But this was a nice treat to say the least. The same goes for Dick Tracy, never knew it had speech with Disney Sound Source. So I started thinking what …

@keropi: I will but it wasn't high priority 😁, thanks for testing. I hope I can find a way to init the SB with a higher bitrate 44.1 or 22.5. This should resolve a lot of clicking and popping.. But I know nothing of SB, so its going to take a while and progress is slow.

Thanks for testing, but it uses a mod file for music so Adlib is out of the question. Although it sounds like it. You can use: DIET.EXE -RA ALMOST.MOD to retrieve the original mod file and play it in MOD Master. What I can't figure out is why the SB is at 8khz as this game was released in 1993. This …

Eric Zmiro wrote a loader for his own games, I think its on a bundled release from Titus in 1995 iirc. I may be wrong but I think it uses a different protection compared to Titus the fox, prehistorik 2 and others. I think you are totally right :D Really curious if that patch from spieler8 works …
