uhm FG does work in dosbox as far as I know.
not sure about VDMSound

i tried it on dosbox, it says "you must have a CD drive"
i got a cd drive through so i dont know whats the deal

Did you actually mount it as a cd drive? It's not the same as mounting a regular drive. For instructions on how to mount a cd drive in DOSBox, look here.

im a dosbox newb ... so can you elaborate this stuff : -t cdrom -usecd 0
or do i just write it like it is ... cause it mounts the d drive but it still doesnt work .. :ranting:

Well, writing this should be enough:

mount d d:\ -t cdrom

That's assuming that your real cd-rom drive is the d drive (otherwise, replace the d:\ with whatever letter your real cd.rom drive uses). It will mount the cd-rom drive as the d drive in dosbox.

Edit: The easiest thing is to just open your dosbox config file and write that line in the bottom. That way you don't have to write it every time you restart dosbox.

mount your cd-rom

ok thanks for your help. now ... another problem, at the screen where you deploy units and such, its just red (with the bars on the sides normal) but the playing screens all red

I'm sorry, but I don't think I can help with this one. I've tried looking around a bit, but couldn't find a solution to your problem. I'd suggest trying out VDMSound, and hope for the best. Don't forget to enable mscdex support.
