Well, as I said, the .wav files (well, those that are not actual recorded sounds) are saved GUS output, so of course they are the same music. But the game's sound output is 44100 Hz, and the saved .wav files are 11025 Hz, so there's a pretty clear quality difference. You made me doubt myself, so I …

Uhh. You seem to misunderstand a few things, heh. -The post of you which I replied to was about the CD version of MK1 as it is sold by GOG.com. That is the only thing I was talking about in my post, too. -I don't want/need to record anything; the whole point of my post was that the CD version's GUS …

The only think you may be able to do (why didn't I think about it sooner?) is to record the FM/MIDI songs as digital audio, save them as 11KHz WAV files and replace the existing WAV files of the existing songs with your WAV files. There is a chance it will work as is, if the game does not check …

Or, y'know, the fan-patched version that runs on pretty much anything modern and doesn't require a legacy PC/OS 😜 Needs the .net framework though, for its enhanced config tool.

Yeah, the music files have .aud extensions, and the alternates have .var extensions, so it's really not hard to just extract them and rename them to .aud to make them override the originals. The alternates are in fact the originals ; apparently Quality Control thought the many voices used in these …

Copy Aud.mix, Conquer.mix desert.mix, general.mix, scores.mix, sounds.mix, temperat.mix, movies.mix, setup.mix, zsounds.mix create a sub folder called c:\games\C&C CD\Aud1 and copy speech.mix run c&c -cdc:\games\c&c\cd v1.22 has problems with scores.mix in the game folder though. But speech.mix can …

Note that DOS C&C can only use the first CDROM it detects. Though IMO running a full hard disk setup with merged media is a lot cleaner, for C&C. The tools for doing the merging exist anyway.

Other thoughts: - I remember that Command & Conquer for DOS had a lower resolution than C&C 95 (320*200 vs 640*480), but I'm not sure if that's better or worst. I vaguely remember that sprite size was the same, so you could see more terrain on C&C 95. Exactly right. As shown by this showcase …

As far as I've been able to determine, DOS C&C fails on scores.mix because the file is a .mix archive that starts with "sc", just like the addon mixfiles read by the game as part of the updates system introduced for easily adding the Covert Ops files (in v1.18p, if I remember correctly). Basically, …
