Haven't tried that game, but is the BLASTER environment variable set properly?jamesfmackenzie wrote: ↑Tue Sep 01, 2020 10:10 pm Anyone able to get sound/music working in Secret of Monkey Island? The game is supposed to auto-detect (no way to configure sound settings). I get no sound at all
Yes - first thing I tried.

Here are the Autoexec.bat and config.sys I use to run Pinball Dreams 2 in MS-DOS 6.22.2220kathleen wrote: ↑Tue Sep 01, 2020 3:47 pm @NightShadowPT, I'd be interested and really appreciate also to know your autoexec.bat and config.sys that you used for pinball dreams 2 because I've just tried on my side with different settings and I always end with a black screen once I select a table. I for sure have something wrong configured but I do not know what.

Yes, I just added a second comment. I'm running the regular Boot1 rom, not the opensource one and it works.kathleen wrote: ↑Wed Sep 02, 2020 3:54 am Thank you @NightShadowPT, very kind to you. I'll compare this evening the differences with my set up, I fell, seeing your autoexec that it is a matter of QEMM wrong configured on my side, I've also just noticed, thanks to the compatibility list, that for this game there is a comment saying : "boot1_opensource.rom (black screen otherwise)", maybe I do not have the right boot1 for this game, this is another point that I did not think about. Anyway, 'll keep you posted
Terminal Velocity runs okay in SVGA, not as smooth as VGA, but very playable.
I've just tried PD2 by changing my setup in order to stick with your config.sys and autoexec.bat and this doesn't work. I then changed the boot1 by the opensource version and also went back to my previous set up and bingo, the game worked as it should. Well, this does not answer to my question, I still do not know what causes the problem if I use the "normal" boot1.rom (last version).NightShadowPT wrote: ↑Wed Sep 02, 2020 4:18 amYes, I just added a second comment.

Didn't try the game myself, but there also was a floppy version and from what I read about the game running in Dos Box the CD caused sometimes problems where the floppy version worked.vanfanel wrote: ↑Fri Sep 11, 2020 9:29 am Does "Magic Carpet" really work in-game? I can see the nice intro, the menu, but when I click on the spinning planet sphere to start actual gameplay, the game stalls forever in the loading screen (showing the CD), never getting in game. There are even youtube videos of this game running on ao486, but I don't see it working with the current version... Using DOS 6.33 here.
I have tried the floppy version and does exactly the same thing, except it shows a floppy instead of a CDChris23235 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 11, 2020 12:49 pmDidn't try the game myself, but there also was a floppy version and from what I read about the game running in Dos Box the CD caused sometimes problems where the floppy version worked.vanfanel wrote: ↑Fri Sep 11, 2020 9:29 am Does "Magic Carpet" really work in-game?

ExoDOS only seems to offer Magic Carpet PLUS and Magic Carpet 2, right?Chris23235 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 12, 2020 10:10 am I tried the ExoDos version and it seemed to run fine (only played for a minute or so). Setup of this version is straight forward, just copy the MagCarp folder to your VHD and run carpet.exe.
Magic Carpet 2 also works, I added it the the compability list.vanfanel wrote: ↑Sat Sep 12, 2020 2:14 pmExoDOS only seems to offer Magic Carpet PLUS and Magic Carpet 2, right?Chris23235 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 12, 2020 10:10 am I tried the ExoDos version and it seemed to run fine (only played for a minute or so).

Which one did you try?
Thanks! MC2 is very nice indeed. I like it better than the original, with the cave levels and all.Chris23235 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 13, 2020 2:39 pmMagic Carpet 2 also works, I added it the the compability list.vanfanel wrote: ↑Sat Sep 12, 2020 2:14 pmExoDOS only seems to offer Magic Carpet PLUS and Magic Carpet 2, right?Chris23235 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 12, 2020 10:10 am I tried the ExoDos version and it seemed to run fine (only played for a minute or so).

I tried the CD version and it seemed to work. I just flew around for a few minutes and used the laser cannons, no problem here.
