Alien Alley - The game uses the DIGPAK drivers, but only includes generic ones. Get the full driver package named DMKIT150.ZIP (such as from here ) and unarchive it into the game directory. Then run SETM to choose a music driver and SETD to choose a sfx driver. Pro Wrestling Promoter - It's got a …

Still wondering what the SVN version of the GOG.com version supplied does in order to resolve this. http://sourceforge.net/p/dosbox/code-0/3631/ SVN has audio channel control, which is actually a cdrom driver function, unrelated to the sound card. So, I would guess that you're using real MSCDEX; …

I guess it needs a working directory. Check the properties of the icon that launches the game for the working directory, then: c: cd \aos (change to the working directory) \windows\win as_start.exe If you put the WINDOWS directory in the PATH then you can run WIN.COM without specifying the path.

I recall there was some fix for Borland regarding program names in the title bar, but maybe was for Turbo C. In any case, do try an SVN build.

Run the game like this: sierra -w 0 0 200 320 You may already have a batch file which runs the game with those parameters.

I believe mode 54h (132x43) was changed to the 8-line font because that's accurate to real S3 video cards, but mode 55h (132x25) still has the 16-line font. As a result the 132x86 text with mode 54h and loading the 8-line font is no longer possible, but you can still get 132x50 with mode 55h. The …

Yes, you must use disk images to boot DOS; local folder mounts cannot be used with real DOS. In booted DOS the only workaround, if you want to call it that, for easy sharing of files with other systems is networking; and for that you'll need unofficial builds of DOSBox like MB6 or ykhwong's.

DOSBox does not support device drivers that are accessed through their name; meaning that the driver cannot be opened, read from, written to, or communicated with via IOCTL functions that use a handle. Some device drivers can be used, at least partially, through interrupt calls; and that …

It's important to match the type of SoundBlaster to the CT-VOICE.DRV file, otherwise the driver won't initialize. Also, if you're using a driver for SB16, those only work in SVN. For 0.74, get the driver file for SBPro2 contained in the self-extracting archive here , put the driver in the game …

The attached program will let you use the mouse in place of a gunstick on official DOSBox builds. Put the program in the game folder and start the game with "SOLO". There's no support for a second gunstick, so I don't recommend trying to start a two-player game because the other player will be …

Well, you can try mounting the A: drive as a floppy type drive: mount a c:\syndicate -t floppy You must also mount a C: drive to install to. What may be more important is what you have in your c:\syndicate folder. Is it installation files from a floppy? Pre-installed game files?

As I said, there is a small difference in running twice, but if the issue is sensitive to that then a large allocation is probably not needed, as is true in this case. There's also a small difference in running loadix separately and specifying the game executable as a parameter of loadfix, as in the …

In that case it would be clearer if the jumper was actually referred to as a joystick enable/disable and not as a gameport enable/disable, because the MIDI pins are on the gameport connector. I don't tend to notice when games use the SB MIDI interface, but I recall that Star Quest I in the 27th …
