Thank you both for the tips. I don't mind fixing the libSDL in Portage at all-- thanks for telling me how, prompt ; I am running 1.2.8-r1-- it was just the concept of having two libSDLs on my system that was of concern. I did compile the CVS that Qbix provided last night and ran into some problems. …

It's an Athlon XP 2200+, so about 1.8Mhz. Yes, I did try the dynamic core, and dropped back down to the normal, but I may go back. But speed is not a problem. From what I can tell, the CVS-Compile tarball is as current as it can be (it says they update daily, the changelog goes to May 3 and the …

Update #2: As of this moment, the only thing not working is the CD audio. The regular audio is working perfectly and the game is running at a good speed. Plus, CD audio has unchecked itself in the game Preferences, and if I do check it, it re-unchecks itself. This is a good thing, as it means that …

QBix: -ioctl is meaningless for him, since he's running Linux. Yes, I thought that's what the Wiki said. Thanks for the confirmation. Oh, and just for completeness, it's "she" :smug: . And that's the end of my smugness, as I've just been bludgeoned by the blindingly obvious.... So I installed KsCD, …

Update: I tried using the mount d /mnt/cdrom -t cdrom -ioctl -usecd option; didn't seem to help. I then turned off CD Music in the game options, and the regular music played. It stuttered so bad it was pretty unrecognizeable, but it played, and the slowdown was probably at least partially caused by …

but I do know that the music is stored on the CD as standard Redbook CD-DA audio tracks. I bow to your superior knowledge, but why can't I see said tracks on the CD, either in DOSBox or in a file manager (Krusader)? That seems odd. Anyway, I've finally got a MIDI device (/dev/midi, though, not /dev …

Thanks for your quick reply. Weirdly, though, I can't tell how [/u] the audio is stored-- I had already looked for it and there are no noticeable "audio" files on the CD. Here's the list of files: dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Nov 9 1996 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 120 Oct 27 2004 .. -r-xr-xr-x 1 root …

Hi all, first time poster. I searched the forums, but didn't see anything that seemed helpful, so here I am with what I hope is not a repeated question. First of all, thanks for the great work on DOSBox. So far I've tried to install 2 games (using DOSBoxFE, since I'm a Linux user, and have lost most …
