MOO 1+2 on Impulse Question.

By Soulfire777 on September 16, 2010 11:13:36 AM from Elemental Forums Elemental Forums

MOO was a DOS game.  I remember trying to re-install it years ago on my Win XP machine, but I could not get the sound to work because the old DOS soundcard settings aren't used anymore in windows.  Does anyone know how to get sound to work for these old DOS games on newer windows based computers?

I don't even know what doxbox is?  heh  I think when I tried it, I just did it from the DOS prompt option in windows.  The game started to run, but then it wanted to know my sound card's RMA DMA and hex addresses (or whatever those old DOS sound card setting were back in the day).  heh

Download dox box and run it with that.  Should work fine.  Dosbox is free.  I think with current versions you can just drag the game exe onto the doxbot exe and it will auto run it for you.

http://lordbrazen.blogspot.com/ page down here and learn a lot about DOSBOX.

I think Impulse comes with DOSBOX and with it already configured for you. I know the same deal at www.gog.com does. The forum at gog will provide you with help should you need any. On Vista, it just worked. No problems. Start with a shortcut on the desktop as per usual and begin playing.
