I have an IBM Thinkpad 390 that I'm working to repurpose as a DOS gaming laptop. The biggest downside of this machine is the NeoMagic NMA2 (NM2200) which from my checking does not have "REAL" DOS drivers... but it has advertised SB Pro/Adlib compatibility, so it's not terrible terrible.
Now that doesn't mean that I can't fire up Duke3D, configure the sound card, and get both digital sound effects and music. Heck, I can even get my MT-32 to communicate correctly. (using SoftMPU, of course).. but when I launch a LucastArts SCUMM game with the sound on, I just get a black screen until I reboot the machine. I can launch the game with the T (text) command line switch, and the games will play just fine without audio.
I thought that maybe my original discs that came with the LucasArts Archives Vol 1 might somehow be different versions... so I went looking in "the usual places" and found the disk based version... and these play fine.
For additional testing, I loaded up DOSBOX and verified that all these games play without issues in the emulated enviroment.
What am I overlooking? What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for your assistance!
