Hello all,
I have this game working, but two issues I wanted to improve:
1. I've seen in some cases that people have got the graphics resolution setup such that the houses, etc... show up as squares rather than tall rectangles and the apsect ratio shows a wider window than 4:3 shows.
I haven't been able to figure how how to do that yet after many attempts.
See example here: https://www.dosgames.com/game/simcity
I tried asking the person who operates the site but their contact form is broken however I did post that question on their forum. If I get an answer I'll post here.
2. The specific audio allowed on this game is IBM, Tandy Digital or Covox Sound Master. The first one sounds terrible, Tandy Digital seems a tiny bit better but not working as it should, and Covox Sound Master is not available.
Has anyone ever figured out how to setup audio with Tandy where it sounds MUCH better than IBM (PC Speaker). Also wondering if Covox can be added to audio options for DOSBox as that seems the best overall solution possible and was a very common sound card back in the day.
Incidentally, you can run the SimCity configuration by executing INSTALL.EXE and it will still save the SIMCITY.CFG file to a subfolder of the folder that INSTALL.EXE is in (default subfolder is named "SIMCITY"), then to use the new config you move that SIMCITY.CFG file up one folder to the main SIMCITY folder and you will see the changes you made to the configuration next time you start the game. When you run INSTALL.EXE and it gets to the part where it tries to copy files from A: drive, just hit ESC. The SIMCITY.CFG file has already been saved before you get to that point.
