Toby -

Well done!!! That worked like a charm, I had no idea what I was doing with DFEND when I went through all those settings to create a profile, but I did what you mentioned - changed IRQ, installed DOSBox, etc. and when it came up suddenly sound was working. And it went into the intro, which it wasn't doing before.

I can't wait to play this...I actually bought the boxed version a year or so ago for about $10 to play again, but the combination of no sound and a mouse that moved VERY slowly forced me to give up.

Syndicate was always a blast, so I'm really looking forward to this.

One thing I might point out to others that go this route...I found that the mouse speed was still a problem, so using dfend I right clicked on my syndicate profile, selected edit, and on the general tab I changed the mouse speed from 100 to 250. I had to experiment for a while to get it where I liked it, so you may want a different value.

Also, I found that when I got to the main menu instead of controlling the green mouse arrow I was getting a magenta "shadow" mouse...this is easily fixed by alt-tabbing away from DOSBox and then selecting it from the program bar.

If I know what you are saying, you could more easily, just click on the DOSBox program while it's already open. You shouldn't have to alt-tab or anything.

If what I stated is a different scenario than what you are talking about, just disregard this message.

There seems to be an error in the review... the Syndicate agents are NOT androids... they're cyborgs. The intro clearly shows them kidnapping some guy to turn him into one of these mind-controlled cyborgs.

Must Have for all Neuromancer, Cyberpunks and Runners :evil: Syndicate the world

Does anyone know how else to get the damn sound working on this game???? I have a $5000 Toshiba laptop, and I cannot for the life of me get the damn sound to work....but the game plays ok!
Does anyone know a better emulator than DOSBox that might solve this problem??

Know what the stupid thing about that is? They GOT VDMS on Abandonia. They should just put that VDMS button on more games :tai:
