If indeed you have an EGA only version of LSL1 Remake I understand it is extremely rare 😉 (at least according to some web site I saw)

You claim you replaced a file. Why did you do that? LSL1 remake supports VGA from the start...

The noises are probably because the CD is not balanced well (is there an extra sticker on it?) If you have an original CD, a BIN/CUE should be fine I think (you probably need to read it RAW though, but I think that's the default).

I remember using some update, but it didn't solve my problems with the Audio detection for my original Creative AWE64 card on a pentium. Doesn't really matter anymore now that I have DOSBOX 😀

I always create a BIN/CUE of CDs with Audio tracks. Also, make sure to load with IMGMOUNT and *NOT* with Daemon tools and the like (I had a similar problem with my version of Shadow Caster were if mounted from Daemon the Audio tracks would play out of sync but if mounted through IMGMOUNT they would …

Try IMGMOUNT for mounting, I discovered it does a better job than Daemon tools with Audio tracks syncing... If it still hangs, please post a save game so I'll try it on my version.

The cycles thing about soundblaster detection is a known bug... Back when I had a 486DX4 I had to press the TURBO button to make the computer slower to get those Sierra games to identify my sound blaster, after I moved to Pentiums that trick stopped working (but, if you were an owner of an ESS, it …

Use IMGMOUNT to mount the CDs (worked for me at least)

If it's a mounting problem, try to create a bin/cue of the file and mounting it through IMGMOUNT from dosbox itself, sometimes this solves my game related problems...
Re: Abandonware and Dosbox
Posted on 2007-03-17, 20:46
I think the problem is more to do that some of the games on abandonware sites are post-installed, with save games, specific paths etc. People come here looking for help when they basically have a broken game (and nothing wrong with dosbox). Mind you, some actual releases of shovelware CD games also …
Re: Realms of the Haunting No Disc Swapping?

It's possible to mount 4 CDs and switch between them with ctrl+f4 when you need to swap CDs, I don't know of a method for not swapping at all though...

Also, have fun getting games to work on Virtual PC (DOS games), I tried it a few times, the results are less than satisfactory and many games unplayable.

Just make sure there's a bit in the conf that can disable this, no questions asked, I hate it when programs decide where to put their files on their own... Sometimes I forget to mount a directory, and I sure as hell don't want it to mount something by default.
Re: How to get games which install with XCOPY to work - GUIDE

Not really, though none pop to mind at the moment, I have seen my share of original titles using xcopy (Bud Tucker perhaps?). Eventually I got sick of it and made this workaround. I'm talking mostly about CD titles.
How to get games which install with XCOPY to work - GUIDE
Posted on 2007-03-12, 19:53
Hi there, If you're reading this you probably have a problem installing a nice old DOS game. You're also probably using DOSBOX And most likely your installation is incomplete, or just plain doesn't work... Being the natural detective you are, you promptly realize the installer is named something …

Lower the CPU cycles before starting the game in dosbox (and then after the game loads set them higher). This is a well known Sierra bug

Install and run the game through dosbox, I think INSTALL.EXE is the DOS installer for Sierra applications
