:blink: :blink:
has anyone else had challenges with the sound files of
Heart of China? I went to do system set up, and the game
could not find my sound blaster, then said that it could not play
the sound as another device was using sound blaster....
i found a note on a forum that said that might mean that the files
in my sound blaster need to be updated, i have a Windows 98 SE
system, .....so i went to the site for Creative and deleted and updated and
restored, if anyone else has to do this, you need to find two
additional WAV files from Creative to get the full install to work, they
have them but it is a pain. they are eapci4m.ecw and eapci8m.ecw,
if you have the same Creative Sound Blaster Audio PCI64V I do, the
upgrade file you need from Creative is called PC164VUP, and then
once you put

eapci4m.ecw
eapci8m.ecw

in the same folder as PC164VUP you will be able to complete the
update.

So maybe it will work now, i havent tried it yet, as i have to take some
time off today. just thought i would check and see if anyone else had
similar sound challenges with HOC,
by the way, if anyone like the games with a China thene, take a look
at Qin: Tomb of the Middle Kingdom and Riddle of Master Lu but they
are NOT abandonware and need to be purchased honourably.
