Greetings.

Prehistorik 2 freezes after passing the weird "Yay! My game still works in 2022!" intro, in black screen.

Tried to remove sbinit.com from loading, it helped, and the game started using PC sound.

Unlike Prehistorik 1, there is no GRAWAGA.CFG file to delete, so that the game would start with a sound configuration interface.

Is there any way to change sound card configuration for Pre2?

Best wishes.

If I'm not mistaken the game automatically detects the presence of a sound card and there is no way to select.
Also sbinit.com indicates a PCI sound card. Do other DOS games work correctly?

Prehistorik 2 is a strange game.
For me, it works with sound on 2 HP clients running windows 98se (HP T5530 and HP T5720), but it freezes at first ingame scene on Fujitsu FUTRO B210 running msdos 6.22 (with or without sound):

And on original pentium mmx 166 running dos/win95 freezes after the "Yay! My game still works in... - in black screen/restart.
I found some cool manual (dont know if is original or not) with some sound commands to run it, /m, /s, but didnt had time to check it.
