   DosBox and Jill Of The Jungle...
  Hey all! I recently downloaded DosBox v0.65 off of the internet, and I was successful in getting my old Tie Fighter and Commander Keen DOS games to work on it. I tried getting Jill Of The Jungle to work on it and, while the game itself still works, it failed to detect a Sound Blaster card (which should've been emulated by DosBox). Most of my other games are able to detect a Sound Blaster card through DosBox... so can anyone tell me how I can get the music to play in Jill Of The Jungle? Any kind of help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!   
  I'm not at my home PC right now, but when I get there I'll post/email you my DOSBox config file or something. I have a huge collection of classic games including the Jill series that I've gotten to work perfectly on it.   ;  Ahhh, thanks for the memories. Jill of the Jungle - I remember that old gem. :) While I don't have that game, I must say, DOSBox is one of the best things to come out since...well...Jill of the Jungle! :) They should bring out a movie adaption!!And Tie Fighter made me think of X-Wing. Am I the only person who can't play that game without a mouse? I bought a re-release of X-Wing and Tie Fighter, but it doesn't have mouse support. You can only use a joystick!!! :(  Whose ever heard of playing flight/space sims with a joystick?!!! :);  Ha ha... playing X-Wing and Tie Fighter with a mouse, Sandbar? My total kudos goes to you... I wouldn't be able to survive those flight sims playing with a mouse... lol! I'm glad that you enjoyed hearing about Jill Of The Jungle again. It's hard living without the classics, that's for sure! I hope that you'll enjoy playing that game again sometime.Now, thanks to TDragon's help, I've finally been able to figure out exactly why the Jill Of The Jungle game couldn't detect a Sound Blaster card through DosBox. If anyone else had the same problem that I had with Jill Of The Jungle, please refer to the info below... it may help you. On my machine, games like X-Wing and Tie Fighter just cannot operate properly with the CPU Cycles (located in the DosBox config file) set at 8000. I needed to set the cycles higher in order to play with a smoother frame rate, and my setting of 34836 cycles was PERFECT! The thing is... the CPU Cycles setting needs to be at, or around, 8000 in order for the Sound Blaster to be recognized in the Jill Of The Jungle game!!! What a shock!That means that I'll have to constantly adjust my CPU Cycles depending on what game that I'm playing. Does anyone know a way to make my DosBox experience less work-filled, or do I have to suck it up and play on?   ;  I have DosBox installed on my IPOD and plug it into a computer and play some Commander Keen whenever I'm feeling a bit stressed.   ;  Do you use D-Fend? Its a frontend for Dosbox and with it you can create a seperate profile for each game which you can then run just by double-clicking, which means no more faffing in the confighttp://members.home.nl/mabus/dfend.htm;  I seem to recall setting up various batch files that would launch DOSBox with different cycle configs and then immediately mount my HD and launch the appropriate game. I don't remember how I did it (or even if it was DOSBox that I did it with) but it should be possible. Check around the DOSBox documentation; I'm fairly certain you can specify initial settings for the CPU cycles and such when you launch the emulator. It may also be in an INI file or some such.[edit] Oooh cool, DFend looks sweet. I might actually mess around with DOSBox again. I'd considered doing such a proper frontend tool myself at one point but as usual was too lazy [smile]
