Hi! I need dunecd.r59 file and HOTU is dead!
Yes, I remember I've had the same problem with speech/sound and that I solved it, but I forgot how. And if I could install the game again, I'd be able to tell you how to turn it on. So please, anyone, help!

Ok, mount the game dir as C: drive and the same dir as a CD-ROM drive (D, then tell the game to place savegames in C:\ and setup the sound by runnig install.exe

Mounting your game dir as C: and savegame path changing is not necessary if the installation doesn't take long to start itself!

That should solve all of your sound problems.

Oh yeah and for sound just use VDMSound (http://sourceforge.net/projects/vdmsound/), that's a SB16 emulator for Windows 2000 and XP. Install it, restart your computer, unpack dune, open a dos prompt, type "dosdrv" (to start VDMSound), install dune using "install.exe" (you might need to set the Soundblaster IRQ to 7 manually during install) and play the game. You don't need all the other stuff which DosBox emulates.

Right, so i got the game running nicely with sound in XP, no need for DosBox there.

However, I've walked into the desert to get my first vision many times, have restarted the game, but each time to the same result. Nothing happens except for eventual death by dehydration. :help:


Just finished Dune Legends: Battle For Corrin btw. These prequels by Herbert's son and that Anderson (?) guy arten't bad reading at all, but they just don't have that epic, heavy FEEL of the original(s). The stories aren't bad, and much thought has gone into them... but naaah.. let me put it this way, if Herbert's Dune inspired strategy games, these new ones would inspire first person shoot 'em ups with elements of space battle simulation..

Trid playing it from the beginning is dosbox, same thing; I find the sietchs and the next step would be the vision, yet the only comment I get from walking the desert is Jessica saying I look tired. *sigh*

Tonight we be a Dune-fest btw, just rented the movie (1h59min) and Children of Dune (3 dvds, 4h 8min).. k:

If I remember well, you must get out at night... Then you come back to your castle and you'll know you have succeeded if your eyes begin to turn blue when you look at the mirror.

I believe that process is a bit longer...

You can follow walkthrough.

It's not necessary to go into the desert at night, but you have to be far enough so that you don't see the palace anymore. I think 3-4 "steps" in a straight line from the palace were enough.
And yes, there's an excellent walkthrough all over the internet (just google for it ), better check it to see if you missed something.
