Hi, I have a serious problem with prince of persia 1.
first the sound came from inside my case somewhere and the sound was terrible.
but then I found this VDMSound on the internet and now prince of persia 1 sound works 100% correctly like it was 10 years ago on my old computer... but only 1 BIG thing: the game skips!
for example in the leel with jaffar (level 11b) in the ebginning of that level, a lot of floortiles fall from the cieling, they all make a sound when hitting the floor, this causes the game to lag a LOT.
second example, when falling from more than 2 floors high (which causes death) when I hit the floor, the screen is purple for a couple of seconds while the fall-to-death sound is playing (in normal cases the screen should be red for a fraction of a second)
also, when music is playing (start of game, screen with princess, the sound stutters)
I've tried dosbox and it's the same problem (also tried slowing the cpu-cycles down in dosbox)
anyone have a solution for this?
if you use dosbox, how many cpu cycles and frame skip? (which I tried but doesn't work, but maybe someone has a magical number that works)
EDIT: forgot to mention that I have a pentium 2 with 350 mhz running windows 2000 server edition (and crystalsound music drivers if that matters)
