    Sound in DOSBox

    Has anyone gotten sound + music to work in DOSBox recently? I've tried all three games, in various versions of DOSBox, with various configurations, and all I ever get is PC speaker sound. I coulda sworn I got at least some sound in the past without resorting to VDMSound, which isn't really an...

    I used your version, but it turns out I happened to have a valid LSCI.CFG in the parent directory, which is what made it work. I don't notice any problems with the audio after trying your newest patched version. It's a little strange that the music is identical to Twinion's, though.

    Strange...music and sound Just Works for me in DOSBox 0.65, without your new patch. Which is nice, since I remember having to fiddle with things when I wanted to get Darklands sounding good. But now I'm just using the default dosbox.conf, and I don't notice any choppiness or other distortion. It...

    Aha, the Skeleton Keyring can be purchased at the shop. As can the Hawk's Eye, as a substitute for Read Tracks in the Ranger test. So it looks like any character can complete all the rooms.

    You've obviously done extensive analysis of the code and resource files, patchx. Is that really all just with IDA Pro? I've used it before, but only the basic features.

    How did you finish the Wizard's area (Thaumaturgium)? I can get to the middle, but can't figure out how to make the teleportal stop disappearing. By the way, it seems like the Thief's area (Skulkatorium) can only be solved by a Thief. I've tried picking the locks with other classes, but it...

    Here are all the clues in the Runed Room, extracted from RESOURCE.002. It's a pity they aren't written in iambic pentameter. I'm going to have to re-read Macbeth...

    Thanks for the reply, patchx. Removing the modem-related interrupts was my first idea, but I guess I never quite got it right. The only online resource I've ever found about RoC is this: http://lolo.com/~orion/cawdor.html

    First of all...WOW. Thank you! Once upon a time I loaded up Cawdor in a debugger and tried to see if I could at least get it to the beginning screen, but I didn't have much luck. I'm very happy to see that someone smarter than I was able to do it, and I would love to know how it was done. I'm...
