By the way, just FYI... I assume you meant Duke Nukem 3D when you mentioned Duke Nukem (spelling was correct by the way). Actually, you wouldn't need a 3D card to play this game. Duke 3D was more of a pseudo-3D game... like Doom, Blood, and all other first-person shooters before Quake, Duke 3D...

Thanks for the info, and thanks for all the help you gave me. You seem to do a lot of Privateer troubleshooting in this forum and I thank you for being patient :D

Johnl12, what kind of machine do you use for DOS games? A 486? I'm thinking of buying an old machine off eBay (they are around $20), and I'd like to know what you've had the most success with.

Hmmm... that page has some interesting info. Apparently some users have resolved crackling and popping noises by disabling 16-bit DMA. I wouldn't want to disable the full duplex capabilities of the card by doing this but it's worth investigating. Also it talks about some users that fixed...

I rearranged my config.sys as you suggested and remmed out Fix27 (BTW, Fix27 is a utility that reclaims wasted environment space from TSRs), but I still get the crackling music. Something Wedge009 said back when I started this thread intrigues me -- he said if I am not using a joystick that may...

Okay, I'm back to the drivers that came with the install CD. My configuration now looks like this: ----------------------------------- CONFIG.SYS ----------------------------------- [menu] menuitem=win, Boot to Windows menuitem=dos, Boot to DOS menudefault=win,5 [win] [dos]...

Okay now I'm confused... now you say I need the Win9x update, but how will this help me in DOS? Maybe I should explain what I'm doing from the start... I have both a Sound Blaster Audigy and a Sound Blaster 16 in my machine. I have one partition with Win98 and one with WinXP. WinXP I use...

Okay, I'll try this when I get home (I'm at work now), but I'm not sure that's my only problem. If I put CTCM in my autoexec.bat, upon bootup it gives me the error message that I am attempting to run it in Windows 95. I'm wondering even if I do have all the files in the right places, will the...

Okay, I tried using the drivers that you linked me to, Johnl12, but I'm having a problem. When I try to run the INSTALL.EXE files, they tell me that I cannot run them in Windows 95 and that they can't continue, even though I'm booting straight into DOS. I'm running Windows 98 on the partition...

UPDATE: I replaced the line: DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE RAM HIGHSCAN I=B000-B7FF in my autoexec.bat with the line you suggested: DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE 16384 RAM D=64 FRAME=E000 /I=B000-B7FF and I now have fully-functional speech and sound effects (although I can...

Okay, here's my config.sys: -------------------------------------------------- [menu] menuitem=win, Boot to Windows menuitem=dos, Boot to DOS menudefault=win,5 [win] [dos] DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE RAM HIGHSCAN I=B000-B7FF BUFFERSHIGH=20...

So I recently bought a Sound Blaster 16 PCI card to play old DOS games, and it's been working beautifully except for Privateer. I set up the sound as follows (the IRQs and DMAs are correct for my system setup): Music: General MIDI (If I use SB16 for MIDI the music is terribly...

Hi all, After spending five hours, I finally got P1 to run on my computer in DOS with sound :D. At first I was having memory issues, then I couldn't get it to run with sound, but I finally got it working. However, I am still having a problem; when I play the game, the music cracks and pops...
