That part, tell me do you need soundblaster sound cards or something?[/b]

DosBox emulates a 486, DOS operating system AND some additional hardware - soundcards included. Set it to use Sound Blaster 16, IRQ 7, DMA 1, Adress 220 (that's the defaults for DosBox) and it should work.

coz well my computers a new one and the option it gives you for sound and Midi are like fossils.[/b]

Those "fossils" were once cutting edge of sound hardware. :P

Alright..here are the pictures of the setup

As you can see i typed all the things in BUT i didn't type in after D:\ "DISC" which then starts the load so on to the load.

Well i don't really need to explain this one to much

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b363/Lyc...worldsetup2.jpg
Now i picked "Soundblaster 16" (It sounds cool) and after this i comes up with some things which are like
Address 220
DMA, and something else after that

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b363/Lyc...worldsetup3.jpg
This is the Midi picker i picked "Soundblaster PRO - OPL3" i then hit enter it loaded and when it should play discworld (IF i was load normal and with out DOSbox)

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b363/Lyc...worldsetup4.jpg
Now this is the error after i hit enter...does any of this help? OH and when i type in C: as you said i should when it goes back to DOSbox it just says "C:\DISCWLD.CD>"

I'm willing to give up fully on this CD and downloaded Discworld game via HOTU coz that seems like what everybody else is doing plus if i did that you would be able to walk me through easier...right?

You're mounting your D wrong. Use -t cdrom instead of -t-cdrom

...Are you sure....Oh well can't hurt to try

IT WORKS! SOUND AND ALL..MY GOD!
And the only problem was a space ha ha thank you guest thank you everybody ha ha happy days DISCWORLD!

I read all 5 pages and no answer to my problem...which is:

I don't want to play the game without speech sounds(i have the 100mb+ version from HOTU),
and it gives me headache!

Wnen I start the game in the DOSbox i say:
"Discworld cannot find 'english.idx'!!"

No matter what I choose for digital sound driver it will say the same!
MIDI music works just fine!
VDMSound isn't helping!

QUOTE("HotU info")

DECODE.EXE file in download zip must be replaced with file from Decoder fix (download above). Then run UNPACK.BAT. Read README.TXT file if you are using anything higher than Windows 95. [/b]

Did you ?

*Edit
Because I'm in a good mood today:
http://www.the-underdogs.info/games/d/disc...scworld-fix.zip

And the readme:

Discworld 1

Decoder fix + English.idx file

Install instructions:

1) Replace DECODE.EXE file in game download zip with Decode.exe file from this fix. Then run UNPACK.BAT.

2) If you run UNPACK.BAT in any Windows OS higher than Win95 it will crash. Run it anyway and copy the English.idx file from this fix to the game directory

Have fun!

** END OF FILE**[/b]

You could find those instructions easily by yourself on HotU ya know.
