Unfortunately, DosBox hasn't got SB16 support yet, Also, ingame sound is optimized for SB16 cards (recorded at more than 22 kHz) so if your mixer (soundcard driver) doesn't support 32 and 44 kHz, you need remixing which is ALWAYS BAD.You might get a slight performance improvement by changing your soundcard hardware acceleration level and sample rate conversion settings. The main problem is that the sound chunks are HUGEĪnd whatever your CHUNKSIZE setting is, you will get a lag. Well, it won't run as smooth as with VDMSoundīut the MIDI music is definitely better. I'm using a pirate rip so I can't talk about CD problems, but other than that, it runs smooth as silk on my p4-2800 with 512 MB RAM - No stutter on sound at all. In DOSBox mount my cdrom as D: and when preparing install installer crash :-( Hello gigaslow, please specify what and how edit WAR.INI. Thanks to D-Fend it was a breeze to do :)Ĭannot run (crash when preparring install program) ( 05:20) I also added the WARCRAFT2 label just in case. installed to c:\war2 and then moved the folder to my dosgames folder, and then all I had to do was to edit war2.ini and set CD path to D:\ (top of ini) SB16 settings and installed the game right from XP SP2. I have finally gotten everything to work. I use the D-Fend v2 and set eviroment to:ġ0000 Cycles, 500 up, 20 down, normal CPU Core, 0 Frame Skip and Hi people, I wonder if someone could tell me what settings leads to the best performence. Then configure D-Fend v2 to run war2.exe and setup.exe as usual, including IMGMOUNTing iso each time as X:\. Now you have game installed into desired folder. To install, do: IMGMOUNT iso as X:\ drive directly in Dosbox (before this MOUNT your hdd as C:\ drive to set fullpath to your iso) then MOUNT folder, where you wish to install, as G:\, for example then run X:\Setup.exe -w (switch -w must present), specify G:\War2TD as target dir, and install. Setup.exe doesn't work in my WinXP, and it doesn't work in DosBox if iso is inserted into my virtual CD-Drive. I have War2 ISO Image Retail 1.22 (english version). Hello! Maybe this comment will be helpful to somebody. Works like a charm for me, no need to tweak the configuration file other than mounting D: as the CDROM, but this is a software protection, not a Dosbox issue.ĭosbox v0.63 + D-Fend v2 + War2 ISO Image Retail 1.22 ( 13:51) Testing with an ISO image made from my original CD both on Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04.
