![]() Have you tried running the magic.exe file through Dosbox (or VDSM)?
I believe it was not necessary to install the game.

![]() Use DosBox or VDMSound to run the game. Whichever works better on your system.
You can get VDMSound from our programs page, and most recent version of DosBox can be downloaded here. |

![]() So i downloaded the game and the patch files again, also dosbox and vdmsound to see which one work better. Now the magic file says "you must have at least 2700k of expanded memory". Oh, my,

![]() However you run it you must configure your Sound Card parameters executing INSTALL.EXE. DOSBox emulates by defect a Sound Blaster 16 (compatible with Sound Blaster Pro is there's no option for 16) at port 220, with IRQ 7 and DMA 1. The parameters emulated by VDMSound must be displayed somewhere in it as well.

Just a final question: at full screen, the sound gets some interference and the picture loses quality. How can i improve this ? |

![]() Those sound like two separate issues. Do you get sound interference only when playing fullscreen or always? And what do you mean exactly by "interference"? Some scratching sound like in a radio, or just that the sound is choppy, not playing at times during a fraction of a second?
I don't think it's the first one since I haven't experienced it myself but if it's so for you let me know with more details. If the sound is choppy, just increase the cycles in DOSBox pressing Ctrl+F12 repeatedly, oddly enough this game is quite demanding in this regard. There's a limit to how many cycles your machine can emulate, to double it change the emulated core to "dynamic" mode --there's a number of other things you can do to decrease the cycles needed. It's also possible that the game works poorly because the cycles are too high instead of too low, if it gets worse every time you press Ctrl+F12, try decreasing cycles with Ctrl+F11 instead. The picture quality is because DOSBox has to make an aspect correction if it's trying to display a 640x400 image in your Windows resolution. The obvious alternative is playing in a window.

What I suggest to do is change the following in DosBox.conf: output=surface --> output=ddraw fullresolution=original --> fullresolution=1024x768 aspect=false --> aspect=true |
