My setup:
Processor: Pentium 200MMX
Mobo: ASUS TX97 - XE
Graphic 2D: S3 Trio 64 V+ 4MB
Graphic 3D: Voodoo Graphics 4MB
RAM: 128MB RAM
Sound: SoundBlaster AWE64 CT4500

Windows98SE works well, a lot of games work exept Duke3D. Configuration of sounds and music is correct, in win98 mode I'm getting black screen and my TV shows that can't display anything, in SOS7.10 mode it hangs, before trying to load configuration file and sometimes after loading it. Other DOS games work just fine except this one. Is any possibility to fix it?

First of all, any clue what version of Duke3D it is? There's a few different ones. Also, have you tried messing around with the resolution it's running at? If it isn't running in 320x200, try setting it at that first.

I've tried, all resolutions give the same problem. Probably I'll go back to DOS6.22. I dunno yet

Try a different monitor. Your TV may just not able to sync to the refresh rate that the games uses. Also, make sure you have S3 VBE 2.0 loaded.

Seems Duke Nukem 3D doesn't like 32bit color's pallet, changing on 16bit resolved my problem but now mouse aiming doesn't work. U button should turn it on but it doesn't.
