Attach your .conf please 😀 (non-ECE SVN) Tried some more settings but it still crashes. Looks like the devil will be in the detail after all. Btw, did you mean "ems=emm386"? Thank you for the help, I feel the solution is within reach now.

Appreciate the help. Lowering CPU cycles still made the Intro crash (same place) but without the error message. Then I tried all of these patches but game exe (ADV) is in incompatible LE-Format (don't ask). So I focused on finding a replacement sbmidi.exe (one of three exe game calls before main exe …

UPDATE: Solved by robertmo in this post. Hit and evaded every obstacle in trying to get it to work but this little commie game won't surrender without a fight. JEMM solution (3rd link) solved the crash near the beginning but now it crashes just after the projector sequence starts (1 min). Every time …

Many thanks Rip! His vanilla SVN was sufficient. Btw, first new thing I noticed in the official SVN compared to 0.74 is that it doesn't revert my Win7 theme to basic while its running a game. Whoever made change that needs own pedestal... or at least a good pat on the shoulder 😀

OGG yes, forgot to point that out - my bad! Case closed 😀 I got the SVN following the wiki page and ended here: http://www.emucr.com/2017/10/dosbox-svn-r4063.html Is there a better place to download? (for my potential future SVN ventures)

First time trying the SVN thingy because I've hit a wall troubleshooting a game when this CUE problem arose straight away. CUE mounts fine in 0.74. Since I am not following SVN development I've no idea if features are changed or removed but I am instructed to create a bug report post in here. Error …

Regarding just DOSBox emulation and only sound effects and digitalized speech. MIDI is of no concern . Emulation accuracy is important if you may. So for example if Pro 16 has more quality sounds but is not as accurate as plain SB regarding emulation, then I'd lean towards SB despite it being less …

Trying to figure out something: Game's setup program only allows setting ONE Sound Card (so no SB/MIDI combo). It's a damn shame because with SB you get nice SFX & Speech (and shitty music) while General MIDI provides pretty good music. I all but gave up trying to set up both but before that I …

After nearly giving up I cracked the code. Solution The only requirement for the game (full installation) to see DOSBox mounted CD-Image and, consequently, run is the presence of "OLD_HERC.DRV" file on it, which HAS TO have hidden attribute. That's it. My game now runs and plays on 64 KB sized ISO …

@ leileilol ISO is a whole different ballgame because it cannot be made 1:1 copy of mixed-mode CDs. For one, all audio track will be missing and that's a problem if MW2 checks them.
