Originally posted by Unregistered Strife freezes about 30% into it's loading bar. You're in a bad place here. Worse if you're not running XP (there's a reason we ask for things like the OS in posting guidelines). Strife is based on the DOOM engine, which means it has the same problem that all DOOM …

Originally posted by HunterZ No, I was talking about trying to emulate properly the way games like Wiz6&7 and Dungeon Master throttle the SoundBlaster (or even the Adlib in the case of Wiz7) to play digitized sounds one sample at a time instead of using its DMA buffer like they're supposed to. I …

Sounds like a "speed-sensitive" issue. My CD version won't run on DosBox due to VCPI, meaning it's using "Protected mode". Not sure if speedset or "slow-down" utilities will help... Have you tried running the Windows version?

Not sure what to tell you, I can't even get it to start up properly. Always crashes with some kind of memory corruption error. This is running on a Celeron 1.7 GHz. DosBox will let it start up, but then dies with an "unsupported" error. Meaning it may be a long while before it runs on DosBox. I do …

Originally posted by HunterZ I tried a couple of times to pitch the idea to him of doing some kind of hack for old games like Wizardry 6 & 7 and Dungeon Master that fire sound samples at the hardware a byte at a time... It sounded like he was considering adding it, but now...? I think you're …

I would start with the most basic SoundBlaster option available. Try plain SoundBlaster (SoundBlaster or Compatible, if the option is there) in the game's setup. Also, try using XP's native emulation as well (uses IRQ 5). If either of those work, go up to next step in SoundBlaster model and try …
