Works great with 0.70, nice and smooth with the dynamic core + frameskip 1 and max cpu cycles, even the enhanced CD graphics runs nice and smooth on my 1.8ghz athlon-xp So for some reason, DOSBox 0.70 doesn't support System Shock, when 0.63 did.Īt me it doesn't work on plain Windows XP, so I need DOSBox.Įnhanced CD version with dosbox 0.70 ( 06:29) I've just installed DOSBox 0.70 in the hope that it'll be better, but it always crashes, before I load a game. It's strange, but I can play it on DOSBox 0.63, although it's slow. My only real problem is not being able to go full screen. Every once in awhile I the frame rate gets a little sluggish. I downloaded the version of System Shock from the underdogs ( ) and it works great in DOSBox. Maybe I figure it out later, because the sound does work with mixed settings. Music works with "new SB Pro/SB16", but Voice doesn't work with new SB. Only thing that doesn't work for me is Audio: Voice works with GUS, but Music (MIDI) doesn't work with GUS. Everything works fine with the default settings. LZH files, using LHA: lha x archive.lzh rm archive.lzh. To finish the installation you need to unpack (and thereafter delete) all. Results were very interesting:Ĭ:echo C:INSTALL.BAT > base.lzh). When I try to install the game, the batch file fails with the message "Please run Install from the root directory of the CD-ROM." I copied the batch file to a writable location and changed it to echo the value of %0. INSTALL.BAT fails with 0.73 under Win7 ( 23:32) It works just mount d x: -t cdrom mount c c:> but be careful on choosing what music and sound device you use because you can never reinstall the game unless you delete the profile, if that don't work i don't know what else you can do. I can't seem to figure out how to have the game start at 640x480 without having to manually set it every time.īe Careful on choosing your install settings. I had to change scaler=none from scaler=hq3x for it to run without crashing, though. Note that the CYB.CFG file uses decimal values for the sound card's I/O address, so you'll probably see the number 544 there instead of the usual 220, because the usual base I/O address 220 is a hexadecimal number, and 220 in hexadecimal is 544 in decimal.Įven in 640x480. Once this line is there, the installer will be able to configure your sound devices and save your sound settings. You need a line like the following in the CYB.CFG file to indicate where the game is installed to: System Shock - Origin / Lookingglas (1992)Ĭonfiguration of the CYB.CFG file ( 17:55)Īs apparently the only person in the world with the floppy version rather than the CD version of this game, I'd like to note that the game's configuration file CYB.CFG requires an "instdir" line, or the installer will refuse to change the game's audio configuration.
