Without having to find and click the game exe on the Windows desktop first? I had some other installers of other old Windows games lately using Dosbox+Windows Vintage versions together in a similar way that worked like that. <br /><br />But I'm an awful amateur when it comes to controlling old Windows versions through Dosbox, so I don't know how to reproduce such an automatic start with your version of the game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423256436225847966.post-84128858837664972802023-10-29T00:15:28.879+01:002023-10-29T00:15:28.879+01:00Installation stops at 75% and says the ISO is corr...Installation stops at 75% and says the ISO is corrupt or unreadable.

Not only does it use more resources resulting in sound stutters if your CPU isn't up to snuff, it requires the use of virtual hard drives which are a pain to use. DOSBox also has a lot more options to play around with, though they're hidden within the .conf file and require some knowledge of how they work. <br /><br />Basically, PCEm is worth it if that's the only way a game will work (it is ultimately more compatible when it comes to Win 9x games), but I doubt I'll use it for Windows 3.1 games. <br /><br />Plus, the sound issues that affect the end of each sentence on Darkseed II is now fixed in the current version!

It is now fine with 1024x768.

Inside that file is a bunch of settings that Dark Seed 2 seems to use for audio playback, and if you scroll down a bit you'll see that there are settings for specific sound cards, however, those do not appear to be being applied. What you'll want to do is alter the default settings to the ones for the SB16, so from the top of the file change WaveBlocks=3 to WaveBlocks=5, add WaveBlockLen=4096, and change SamplesPerSec=11 to SamplesPerSec=22. Stutter be gone!"<br />It might be worth of posting an updated version of the installer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423256436225847966.post-73260736574407869412017-10-24T18:41:25.637+01:002017-10-24T18:41:25.637+01:00Hello Agent Cooper.

I didn't really notice it when I tested the game - I guess it didn't bother me so much. I'e been trying to fix it for the last couple of hours or so and have not been able to. Both the DOSBox Daum and Daily builds don't fix the issue, nor do any tinkering with the .conf. <br /><br />Normally a stutter would be due to the cycles being too high, but that's not the case here as other audio like the music plays fine. I've found that some people have solved it by using a fixed ir32.dll (making me think it's a WinG compatibility issue) but that didn't work for me.Biffman 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/10163763573158975266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4423256436225847966.post-57085455009036742142017-02-12T21:59:52.181+00:002017-02-12T21:59:52.181+00:00Looks like your version has the stuttering on the ...Looks like your version has the stuttering on the voices too.
