no speech in Shadow of the Comet/museum.exe
Hello,
I downloaded the great old Shadow of the Comet from an abandonware-site (iso file, approximately 90 MB), but I canīt get to run it well. In particular I wanted to visit the Lovecraft-Museum. I managed to get it to run with vdmsound, but only if I donīt enable speech during the game. With speech enabled, the game will slow down when watching an object considerably and no speech is heard. Does anybody have by chance a solution for that? thanks in advance, lead |

Run Install.exe
Go to Options Then Hardware Options Set both sound options to Sound Blaster.

thank you for the quick reply.
The problem is that I can only see the icons when going into install exe - the words are completely confused and I canīt read anything which is written there (hard to explain). |

I added two screenshots (taken with camera, print-key didnīt work) which show the "confusion". I donīt know exactly what to do.

Looks like an issue with your code page.
Best thing to do would be running the game in DOSBox (works flawlessly - I've set it up myself some months ago).

ok, in any case sorry to bother you again: how does one get to work in in dox box? I am using the dos box game launcher where you can create profile - but I absolutely donīt get to work it with it. I thought it is enough to go into "mounting" and then write under "execute" the .exe-file and the install.

You need to use the IMGMOUNT command to access the ISO and MOUNT with a directory on your hard drive so that you have somewhere to install it to.
I suggest you install the game without using DBGL, by the way. You can configure DBGL to run it later.

ok, thank you. It works now! I mounted simply the "museum.exe" with dosbox and I have speech (though a little stuttering) and music.
Thx for the help. |
