Hi all,

I apologize if this matter was already discussed, but I couldn't find a similar issue in the threads.

Any music device chosen in the menu screen is fine (after game starts right click to get the action symbol, click Tsunami logo then go to sound and select your sound cards).
However, when trying to select SoundBlaster for digitized sound effects I get the message "SoundBlaster initialization failed", I have tried several sb emulations with no success and also tried setting "set sound" (hey, it worked with innocent until caught 😀 ), but that didn't work for this game.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Ignore post - problem solved!

That'll teach me to change IRQ settings from 7 to 5 (but my old cards always had IRQ5!!! 😖 )

Btw, is there any knowledge base containing problematic games and possible workarounds? (for example the ct-voice.drv needed in Innocent Until Caught)

Thanks again.

There's a compatibility database on dosbox.sourceforge.net, and I think DosFreak maintains a DOS games compatibility list of his own but I don't know if it's public or where he keeps it.
