I am running WinME (yes I know I should be shot for that) and can get music to play for the game, but I can't configure the digital sound effects correctly for my SB 64 card and the game crashes whenever I try to load it. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

Just play the game in DosBox, which you can download from this site.

I suppose the better question should be how can I find out the correct settings for my sound card when I run the install configuration program?

My settings for the game in DosBox are:
Music - General Midi, adress 330, IRQ 7
Sound - Soundblaster Pro (later), adress 220, IRQ 7, DMA (DRQ) 1

That should work, does for me.

Well I am pretty sure that my sound card is on IRQ 5, but how did you figure out which address and DRQ to use? Is there a section in my system manager that will tell me that information? I am pretty sure that I don't need to use DosBox because ME still has its own similar program.

These settings were the default ones for the Dos games from the time of MS-Dos, before Windows 95 and later ones. And these settings are also the default ones in DosBox.
But nevertheless you'll have much less troubles if you'll play the game in DosBox, as Dos games tend usually not to work under newer Windows versions.

I would use dosbox anyway, unless you know you have a soundblaster or something.


I loved this game, I like to be the draconians!

I loved it, and I can't believe a sequel has not yet appeared.*

Too bad the developer thought of updating Master of Orion 2 first. They even predicated MoM2's release upon MOO3's success. The result IMO is a disaster! MOO will never be the same. MOO is transformed into an ugly micro intensive, spreadsheet hugging game.
I hope the same thing won't happen to MoM.

For MoM2, MoM only needs to be improved in two areas:
1. Graphics
2. Multi-player

Well yeah. Look what happened to the Civ series... Well, except for winciv and civnet.

Well it's not officially a sequel, but you should check Age of WOnders 1 & 2. They have lots in common with MOM.
