Re: DOSBox vs ScummVM Midi

Sounds like the game is using PC speaker not MIDI. Run the game's setup program to configure it to use MIDI.

I noticed another sound related issue under Ubuntu. I installed TiMidity++ and tried some games with MIDI music. Sometimes the music gets "corrupted" (lots of crackling, almost like static noice but you can still hear the melody). Guess I'll have to use Windows to play DOS games...

PC speaker echo
Posted on 2015-01-20, 15:23
I'm using DOSBox 0.74 (installed from the Software Center) on Ubuntu 64-bit. PC speaker sound effects have an echo effect in some games but only when DOSBox is in fullscreen mode. Here's a video to demonstrate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKHHCb4dQi4 The effect is most obvious in CD-Man when you …

I actually have a similar problem with a few Finnish games. They use the Scandinavian characters in the filenames of the game's data so renaming doesn't help.

I downloaded i5comp but the instructions on how to use this method seem vague. Could you please explain more clearly how to do this? Do I run the i5comp application through Dosbox? and that will run a different kind of installer? It's a Windows executable that extracts the necessary files from the …

I used i5comp to install the game. Then I use DOSBox 0.74 to play the software version or DOSBox Daum to play the 3Dfx version. Both versions run without any problems on my Windows 7 PC, with intro/cutscenes and music.

If you are running Windows, then first mount the VHD-file with Windows disk manager and then mount the new drive in DOSBox.

You need the full path after the -conf parameter: "C:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.74\DOSBox.exe" -conf "C:\path\to\file\systemshock1.conf" unless you have dosbox.exe and the conf file in the same directory.

Re: Quake, Strafing and free look?
Posted on 2014-08-01, 19:56
There is no "strafe left" or "strafe right" option. Yes there is. In the game options they are called "step left" and "step right". it seems to be impossible to strafe and look about simultaneously, which means one cannot turn and strafe simultaneously Works fine here. WASD + mouselook, DOSBox-0.74 …

I want to be able to simultaneously have freelook without holding any keys, and have strafing without holding any keys. I want to be able to strafe by hitting left or right, and still be able to freelook left and right. Then just reconfigure the keys in the game. There are separate keys for turning …
