Onbce I run the game from the dos prompt, it asks me if I have a joystick, and then if I want digitized speech, and then finally it quits and says "runtime error R6003".
Anyone have a clue as to what the problem is?
The so called "DOS prompt" which is actually the "Command Prompt" is not DOSBox.
R6003 is divide overflow. In the event that you are using DOSBox, you might have the cycles set too high.
I haven't messed with anything in DosBox- I installed it this afternoon right after I downloaded SS2.
Any suggestions as to where I should set the cycles?
😁
Here is the solution, run it as
SS2 VGA ADLIB 720
Case matters for the parameters, so make sure it is VGA not vga.
P.S. Don't worry cpu cycles isn't the problem.
do I type that instead of just ss2 at the prompt? because when i do, it says filename not found.
Try this:
Type SS2
It will work then error out
Type SS2 VGA ADLIB 720
It will work as it should.
File not found should be impossible if you
make sure it is typed exactly as above, with SS2 at the beginning (that's the exe, the rest are the input parameters, so if the exe is there when you first try, it would be there no matter what you type after, make sure you have the spaces and everything!)
Does it make a difference that I am running this on a Mac? Because it still says filename not found when I type "ss2 VGA ADLIB 720" I've included some screenshots.

Maybe the problem you have is an incomplete pirated copy of the Silent Service II DOS game. This is one reason why the VOGONs forum does not condone supporting so-called 'abandonware'. You may have a damaged copy and are wasting time here trying to solve your self-inflicted problem.
I am sure that the website from which you downloaded Silent Service II will be happy to help you with your problems.

Gee, thanks for your help dvwjr. 😒 I'm sure whoever published the game in 1990 would be happy to help me as well? Give me a break, the game is 18 years old. So unless you have a way to help out, get lost. Thanks.

Irrelevant. And closed.
