If it is an ACCESS title, then it will probably using REALSOUND to play samples, that is, it uses INTERNAL SPEAKER to do it. A bad idea. It messess up everything.

I think this topic has been up before.. Is the gaurd supposed to say
f*** off ?
I believe it's fixed in next version or the solution in the thread.
Either way it's fixable. Just search on this forums

I don't know if there is a fix for the RealSound or not, but it will not work with anything but TRUE DOS. However, DOSBOX does a good ADLIB emulation so you should use ADLIB instead of RealSound. That is what I do.

Unfortunately, I cannot find the configuration menu. This is the Martian Memorandum directory as I found on my old 80MB (yes MB) harddrive and there is no installation file.

Just delete the mm.cfg file.
If you haven't installed the game your problem might be that you just have incorrect settings 😉

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried editing the file with a hex editor but I didn't know what the values affected and it never worked. It was much simpler than I thought, I could have just changed the numbers with notepad. I'll just delete it now.

If you haven't figured it out yet, the EXE file automatically setup the CFG file the first time you play, so you need to just delete the CFG file completely. When you start the game, it will look for the CFG file and when it fails to find it, it will then run your setup. Do not choose RealSound.

A newbie with dosbox but I've got past early speech in game. Just get silence for voice sequences (set for adlib) which is fine and music plays ok but an early 'video sequence' (of young woman about to be kidnapped) runs for a couple of seconds and freezes/crashes. Are there video/display options with dosbox - not that I'd know what to do - but thought I'd ask. have searched forums but only found sound issues not video ones. Any help would be appreciated.
