[running with dosbox]
when you go to configure->sound device you should be seeing this

if you dont see it then you are using dosbox with unconfigured sound drive, try opening dosbox.cfg like and use the settings mighty midget did. or just redownload and dont change any defalut settings

btw, here are files after you configure the game for the right sound settings http://www.zshare.net/download/2788684f701fd6/ (are meant to be put in your game directory)

Thanks for the files! Now sound runs flawlessly. I don't see that menu, in fact it's not even visible in my install.exe s.w.o.s file. This is the first game I try to run through DosBox so I would really like to get my configuration in order until I get another classic game down.

It may not be in your interest to try and help me but if anyone could help me fix my DosBox config I'd be even happier. I don't understand how my dosbox is supposed to be configured. I opened the config file in notepad and I guess these are the fields of interest:

[midi]
# mpu401 -- Type of MPU-401 to emulate: none, uart or intelligent.
# device -- Device that will receive the MIDI data from MPU-401.
# This can be default,alsa,oss,win32,coreaudio,none.
# config -- Special configuration options for the device. In Windows put
# the id of the device you want to use. See README for details.

mpu401=intelligent
device=default
config=

[sblaster]
# sbtype -- Type of sblaster to emulate:none,sb1,sb2,sbpro1,sbpro2,sb16.
# sbbase,irq,dma,hdma -- The IO/IRQ/DMA/High DMA address of the soundblaster.
# mixer -- Allow the soundblaster mixer to modify the dosbox mixer.
# oplmode -- Type of OPL emulation: auto,cms,opl2,dualopl2,opl3.
# On auto the mode is determined by sblaster type.
# All OPL modes are 'Adlib', except for CMS.
# oplrate -- Sample rate of OPL music emulation.

sbtype=sb16
sbbase=220
irq=7
dma=1
hdma=5
mixer=true
oplmode=auto
oplrate=22050

Again, thanks for letting me re-visit SWOS. I love this game!

man.. its 40 C degrees out there. i would even draw it for you

oh i know now. when you press the install, it asks you where do you want to install the game from, right? all you need to do is to mount any directory as CD rom in dosbox, then it wont look for floppy drive
so, for example, use command "mount d <any directory you wish> -t cdrom" and then install should run fine

and your dosbox config is allright btw=) so no drawing for you=P

Wonderful =)



Time to play career mode!!

I've got big problem. I can't make the speed to right value. If I slow it down to 20%, it lags, but over it, it'ss too fast to play! HELP!

[Mighty Midget]

Err what 20%? Are you running this in DOSBox or in pure DOS with a slowdown utility? 20% sounds like mo'slo or something like that. Or is it an ingame speed control?
If you're not running it in DOSBox, then I suggest you get it. You can find it here on Abandonia for download. There you have great control of the speed which you run your games.

I'm using dosbox... But it's still too fast

[Mighty Midget]

Have you lowered the cycles? That "20%" didn't rhyme with any cycle setting.

Press Ctrl + f-11 to lower the cycles, and Ctrl + f-12 to increase them.

[_r.u.s.s.]

he s running with 'auto' cycles mighty=)

well first of all, it is supposed to go "that fast". but if you wanted to cheat and play slower, open your dosbox.ini and set value "cycles=auto" to "cycles=3000" for example, and "cycledown" to 10 for example (or different number, depends on how much do you want to slow down with ctrl+f11). then you can tweak the game to any speed you wish

[Mighty Midget]

Oh, ok. I never had it on auto myself, so I didn't know.
