Aces of the Deep (AOCD) Dosbox
Hey Ladies and Gentlemen, stalkers of the deep sea.
This is my first post here just registered yesterday and in this post I want to share my findings to run the game in Dosbox in the form of config settings. I use the awesome Dosbox-x as my daily DOS need driver: https://dosbox-x.com/ And I hope some of you may contribute to optimizing the settings. For now I fixed two problems I had: 1) Loading the Online Manual was slow 2) AOCD would crash when exiting the Online Manual and MPU401 was active (HMI error midi/digi). aces_of_the_deep.conf: I fixed the HMI bug by using updated HMI drivers from a Dungeon Master II Site which states they originate from Anvil of Dawn from this page: http://dmweb.free.fr/?q=node/612 (DMII-Game-PC-HMIUpdate.rar) To install them create an INTRO directory in C:\DYNAMIX\AODCD and extract the files into it. Initially I though adding -nocachedir to my mount C: command fixed the slow loadtimes of the Online Manual but I must be wrong because I had a typo there, so it might not be helpful at all What I don't get to work properly is using GUS sound (Gravis Ultra Sound), whenever I set it up using soundset.exe the Intro will stutter, maybe some of you can give a hint. Here is the config section for GUS I am using: Happy hunting and may Neptune watch over us all. Last edited by subber98; 01-23-23 at 01:49 PM. |
