Are you sure you configured the sound options properly?

Tell us what exactly it is you're doing, in detail.

NP on the facepalm, it's only as much as newbs deserve..

I have all my MoM files in a folder called "Magic" in my "oldgames" directory in my c drive. I then open dosbox and at the z prompt type "MOUNT C C:\OLDGAMES and it displays "Drive C mounted as local directory C:\OLDGAMES\

I then I switch to the c drive, and type in cd magic. It then displays C:\magic>

At this point, when I type in "magic" it SHOULD start the game. Instead, it tells me to run the install program. I do, and it has me configure the sound options. Since all the sound options are archaic and not available on my computer, I didn't choose any of the options on either list. I'm then instructed to either configure sound again, read the "readme.txt" file or exit the install program, which I do.

Dosbox's emulated sound settings, not the ones of your hardware.
Dosbox default settings are:

SB or SB Pro
Adr 220
IRQ7
DMA1
HDMA5

Thanks dosraider, it seems to be working now, but it's on a very small screen and TERRIBLY slow. Any way to speed this sucker up a bit?

P.S. Seeing all those little soldier icons again and all the building choices after 15 years is like coming home...what a thrill.

How do you get to pick your special ability again? I just started the game and I wasn't offered a special. Where exactly is that?

To go full screen, you need to press alt+return. And to speed up things, ctrl+F12 is your friend. Although I wouldn't go insane with that, because past certain point, it will degrade performance, depending on your specifications. I recommend you to set cycles=max in your dosbox .conf file.

[Simoneer]

Isn't it CTRL + F12? Or if it was ALT + F12?

[The Fifth Horseman]

It's CTRL, yes.

Hmmm, I don't see a .conf file in my dosbox folder. Where can I access that file?

[_r.u.s.s.]

you are probably using the latest dosbox, they moved the config file to user directory because of issues with vista

it's located in the folder with your name (where your documents are), in local settings\application data
or there is this button called "edit dosbox configuration" in your start folder, in dosbox directory

Found it, thanks. It's set to "max" now, but i dont detect any performance change. Probably because I'm in the middle of a game...
