Hmm, the default settings won't get sound to work in Master of Orion in Windows XP

I'm not sure if there ever was a consensus for this one:

showthread.php?s=&threadid=347
showthread.php?s=&threadid=20

Will take a look around and see what I can find...

Thanks... didn't see anything that jumped out at me as useful, but maybe I'll go back and look at those threads again later if I get desperate 😀 MOO runs just fine in XP for me without VDMsound, BTW, it just doesn't have any sound...

When I try running MOO through VDMSound, I get the you must have at least 1024 ex. memory allocated error. I know how to change the autoexec and config.sys files to get more memory in 9X systems but I don't know how to do it on this NT machine. Any ideas?

Try this. I originally posted it in a thread about Master Of Magic:

Ok... Here's to all the people trying to get MoM working with sound and music (THIS DOES NOT FIX THE COMBAT PROBLEM!!! I turn sound effects off *OR* run the stat based combat instead)

Command Line: %VDMSPath%\VDMSRun.bat magic.exe
Starting Dir: c:\MPS\MAGIC (Edit obviously)

Memory: All set to auto

Now, here's the fun part. Under Advanced in the properties, you can set Compatible Hardware Timer and custom Autoexec.bat and config.sys files. I created one of each. Here they are :->

Autoexec.bat:

@echo off

Yeah, that's it. This way *NOTHING* gets loaded, yet since the file is there, it FORCES nothing to get loaded.

Config.sys:

device=%SystemRoot%\system32\himem.sys
files=35
dos=high,umb

Ok, hope this gets everyone up and running. Maybe I should put this some place for future reference :->
