Re: Help needed on Goblins 2 - DOS game

Hey MaryJ, :)

This message didn't seem to go through last night. 

Yes it did ;), I can see it under the thread about "Do you still
play DOS games" - and there was a reply from "djin" suggesting
you could try VDMsound and/or a slowdown program.

I downloaded Dosbox 63 (I think thats the version
I got) but that hung my computer, if I did it right.
I have AMD CPU 3200, Sblive which has the line
installed in autoexec for IRQ 7, etc. Does anybody
have any ideas.?


As for DOSbox, some games do not recognize the sound card
unless the CPU cycles are set to 3000 or lower (I've just learnt
this myself - I'm still learning the art of DOSboxing ;>)  So you
could try installing /re-installing /running the game at the slow
speed of 3000 cycles.

Which version of the game is it? According to the DOSbox website,
the game is "supported", but there are four different entires for
"Gobliins 2" (?) - one for CD, one for CD v2.01, one for FDD (etc)
Also you could try mounting the CD drive with the "-ioctl" option,
as someone there recommended.

I prefer using a frontend (D-Fend v2) to handle DOSbox options,
makes it much easier to edit and change config files (I'm too lazy
to type at the Z: prompt ;>)
