Hi there,

When I run the install.exe the config program is all messed up with garbled graphics. I can manage to install the game and luckily sound does work but I'm unable to change any sound options since it's too messed up to do so. Does anybody else have the cd-rom version and does the install show up garbled for you? I bought the Trilogy in Glow in the dark box on ebay, but I have tried a few different iso and same result for me.

As a side question, I could of swore the floppy version with Midi had Roland support? or General Midi option? maybe I'm crazy but I thought I remember playing the floppy version with my Roland Sound Canvas but I don't see that option in sound settings. I may be remembering wrong though...

For the installer you need to run FIX8X14.COM located here: https://www.bttr-software.de/products/fix8x14/ , it will fix the broken fonts you only need that for these situations so no need to always run it
The floppy version has no midi support whatsoever, OPL is all you get and tbh it's so atmospheric I prefer it to the CDDA version.

Thanks for the link! and I agree the floppy version music is awesome. For some reason I just thought I remember it playing it with MIDI support, obviously I an incorrect.
