Why are you running Quake 2 this way? If you want to run 32-bit Windows apps on 64-bit Vista, there is a 32-bit Compatibility Mode where you can tell Vista 64-bit to run the app as if it was on a Windows XP SP2 system.

I do know that MIDI music will indeed play at various points. Notably right after the intro movie flyby, where it shows the Valley with the Vulture and the credits are being displayed and scrolling. There will be music playing if your Music device is set up. This music is MIDI(GM). Same with the …

Run the INSTALL.EXE program in RTZ's directory under DosBox and set "Digital Soundtrack" to "YES" to use CD Music whenever possible, otherwise it will fall back to MIDI.

Actually, you know what, MiniMax's suggestion in his attached ZIP file really helped a lot. I moved the 3 files SECOND.EXE, REALITY.FC, and 2NDFIX.EXE to the root dir of the mounted DOSBox drive and now the program executes properly regardless of DOSBOX settings. So, instead of changing directories …

I'm running it fine, albeit on a Windows XP machine and DOSBox 0.72 Make sure that your dosbox.conf file has the settings such that enough memory is being dedicated to the session. I have the following settings: under [dosbox] section memsize=32 (32 MB RAM setting for DOSBox session) under [dos] …

I was able to finally get it working under a specific configuration. By setting the CPU cycles all the way down to 4000 and using the 2ndfix.exe file with GUS emulation and cpu=normal or cpu=auto, the cyclonic vectorballs segment starts and plays fine. If I try to use cpu=dynamic or cpu=simple the …

Yeah, it looks like the issue is with how Second Reality is interacting with the sound driver or expanded memory driver since it behaves differently in the cyclonic vectorballs part depending on the sound device I choose. At least on my system anyway. Using GUS or No Sound, Second Reality displays …

Yeah, I think it's the sensitivity of FC's Second Reality program itself. I remember running it on a real 486DX2-66 and VESA video card about 13 years ago under MS-DOS, and unless my CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT were configured just right, along with my Pro Audio Spectrum 16 card (with SB emulation …

I put all the DemoScene programs in a directory called C:\SCENE This is actually C:\DOSBOX\SCENE under Windows XP, since I'm mounting C:\DOSBOX as Drive C: under DOSBox

Yeah, I'm still getting the problem. Although now, by disabling the GUS emulation and making a few other changes, that "runtime error R600 -integer divide by 0" error message doesn't appear for a split second. I now get some garbage characters in the upper left of the DOSBOX window before it goes …

As they said above, disable XMS and EMS. You can enable UMB if needed. One thing I've found interesting is that the intro music sounds vastly different if you use a GUS than a SB16. On a Soundblaster the intro music sounds hardcore rock/techno. On a GUS the intro music sounds more new wave ambient. …

What was the dosbox config file you used? And what was your cycles set to?

Hello. I've been using DOSBox for a while now and have just encountered a problem with an app that I can't seem to resolve. One of my main uses for DOSBox has been to run the DemoScene demos that came out from 1990 to 1998 and were almost exclusively DOS based. One of the best was Future Crew's …
