[sblaster]
sbbase=220
irq=3
dma=1
When configured correctly, you should be able to hear the comet come crashing down during the intro.
- It is a real-mode game so it will run slowly in DOSBox unless you change the CPU-settings.
[cpu]
core=dynamic
cycles=max
PS: Changing the game setup is done with the command "DESERT /I". |
The game is running fine here. Start the game with DESERT.BAT.
You can edit the DOSBox configuration from Start Menu -> DOSBox-0.74 -> Options -> DOSBox 0.74 Options.
After you have edited the DOSBox options you could save the edited conf file e.g. in the game folder. Then create a new shortcut for dosbox.exe and in the target add
-conf "x:\path\dosbox-0.74.conf"
(x:\path\ is the path to the conf file you saved previously and dosbox-0.74.conf is the filename).
After that the target line should look something like:
"C:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.74\dosbox.exe" -conf "C:\path\dosbox-0.74.conf"
Now this game uses the edited conf file and other games are unaffected.
