Jedi Master 0 Posted April 25, 2002 Call me nastalgic. I pulled this one out of mothballs to give it a whirl. My system includes a SB Live Value Digital (4.1 speaker output). However, I'm unable to configure the sound to work correctly. Any suggestions, or am I wasting my time? SB Live uses IRQ 3. Share this post Link to post
DosFreak 2 Posted April 25, 2002 Dark Forces is a DOS game which being as such means that it does not see your SB Live!. Your Live! on IRQ 3 means nothing to Dark Forces because NTVDM does not see your sound card. Windows XP emulates a Soundblaster card at IRQ 5 Port 220 DMA 1 for Sound Effects and General MIDI for Music. Try configuring the sound settings for Dark Forces as such. If XP's sound emulation doesn't work for you or sound's terrible try VDMSound a superior sound emulation solution in most ways except for a few exceptions http://ntvdm.cjb.net/ Share this post Link to post
BigJim 0 Posted April 13, 2005 I am having this exact problem at the moment, indeed I was directed to this site by a friend when I mentioned it at another forum. My main problem is that I haven't got a clue what DosFreak was just talking about. I don't understand any of the language or terms and have just spent a clueless hour or so trying to do whatever it is he just told Jedi Master to do. I just about understand the word "configure" but have no idea what "configuring" actually entails. Is there any way someone could please help me rectify this problem in language that a completely techno-phobe 3 year old would understand? I can be e-mailed at jamie.sleeman1*NOSPAMSMEGHEADS*@ntlworld.com . Thanks in advance, Jim Share this post Link to post
e_swensen 0 Posted April 14, 2005 Try running the game under dosbox, an x86, DOS emulator. It says that Dark Forces is supported. Check it out at http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/ Share this post Link to post
