Does anyone know the secret to get sound working when running Harpoon 2 under DOSBox? The sound plays OK during the opening sequence, but I can't get the sounds within the game itself to play.

Thanx,

Buddha

It took me awhile to figure that one out. I stumbled on a solution for another dos game where the author used the LOADFIX command to fix sound problems. So I though I'd try that with Harpoon II. Guess what, it worked!

so I added the line LOADFIX -64 in the dosbox.conf file:

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
# You can put your MOUNT lines here.
LOADFIX -64

You can also just type it inside dosbox before you start Harpoon II

Z:\LOADFIX -64

wow, 2 years old, how this problem was not noticed by ripsaw8080?
I wonder if there are still some unanswered not working in dosbox games questions on vogons.
