| | FreeDOS, games and VPC 2007 I've created a FreeDOS virtual machine and have installed the following three video games: 1) SimCity 2) Abrams Battle Tank 3) Out of this World The games all run correctly (except much too fast!!), but the sound is not working. Games #1 and #2 use the PC speaker for sound, but the emulated sound that I hear is more of a pop and fizzle than what it's supposed to be. I've set game #3 to use a Sound Blaster, but can't hear any sound at all. If I were to guess I would say the issue with games #1 and #2 may be because the games run too fast. The issue with game #3 may be because I have set the BLASTER settings incorrectly in AUTOEXEC.BAT. I've tried fixing the first problem by using a program called MoSlo to slow down the processor. The program unfortunately does not run correctly. I'm not sure how to fix the second problem, as I no longer possess the game documentation and there's none on the disk itself. Does anyone else have any ideas on how to solve this? -Mike |

| | RE: FreeDOS, games and VPC 2007 You need the Sound Blaster 16 driver. Can be difficult to find, but try the VMWare community which use the same 16-bit sound driver. |
