This is how I got it working:

1. Download DOSBox (v0.63 at this point).
2. Open a DOSBox session with the included DOSBox settings.
3. Run Carmen's Setup.
4. Select Sound Blaster Pro for Sound Device. The correct settings will then appear (200h/7/1). Press Enter to accept them.
5. Do the same for Music Synthesizer.
6. Save and exit.
7. Run Carmen.

Works like a charm for me -- I love this game!

I tried the steps you suggested but not go.

Under soundblaster pro there was only the option of 220 or 240.

Any suggestions?

I haved tried to run the game on a P450 and an XP with similar results ie no sound 'cept the chirping of the internal speakers if I leave that as the sound option!

Thanks!

Hello, does anybody know if there's an ending to this game? I've been playing it for hours and hours and have about 130 solved cases, but it seems to go on endlessly. One time I captured big boss Carmen herself (somewhere around 40 solved cases), and I thought that would be the end, apparently not. Thanks in advance!

as far as i know the carmen series are in fact endless... but who knows, maybe when you reach your 666th case, the space devil is able to steal the gallactic pope... haha.

I'm starting to fear that you may be right, that the Carmen series are endless indeed. That would be a real bummer, a game without an end...

Hi!
I fiddled with the sound settings to no avail. I have Dell Pentium from 2004, most software on here is from 2002. When I start "Where in Space is Carmen San Diego" I get the logo and a voice talking. If I click anything, mouse button or my space bar, I get a black screen. I get out of that by pressing Alt+Tab and closing the program with Windows. Any suggestions on how to make this go?
"Where in the World is Carmen San Diego" I played on this exact same computer with no problems, went all the way to the Hall of Fame. I hope that is a clue. :confused: Oh, I just tried "Where in America's Past is Carmen San Diego?", the game works but I tried three cases and couldn't arrest the suspect in the right place and time. I am not that good at history, really.

did you use dosbox? or just run it via pure windows

[Newkid1500]

When I run it, it automatically uses the DOS Command Prompt setup. When I ran the "Where in America's Past [etc]", it asked if I wanted to quit to DOS. I tried downloading one of the DOS boxes from the website but it didn't work on my system.

After I got the hang of the weird warrant clues, this game got really addictive.

Thank-you Abandonia! :cheesy:

I like Carmen Sandiego games, but I never played this one much.
