OK.. used the new dosemu.conf (everything commented out), set hdimage to "dos" to make it boot on my system, then only changed hogthreshold. Tried it (1.1.3.9) with hogthreshold = 0 --- 99 % CPU hogthreshold = 1 --- quiet behaviour hogthreshold = 800 --- 99 % CPU hogthreshold commented out altogether --- quiet behaviour Mmm.. not very intuitive, this. Somewhere in the DOC's it says that hogthreshold should be related to the clock speed, and the higher hogthreshold, the quieter dosemu gets. Anyway, you know what I think about the dosemu doc's. With all these values of hogthreshold Wolfenstein 3D hangs (it keeps saying "one moment" forever). This is with everything commented out apart from hdimage and hogthreshold. Now I uncomment sound, and set it to 0. Now it works with hogthreshold values 0, 1, 800, and commented out altogether. This suggests that sound (on) is the default (as you surely intended). OK, now trying Nukem 3D (*everything* commented out now apart from hdimage). Use Duke3d "setup" program (in dosemu) to select the Sound Blaster card for sound, nothing for music. Run duke3d. Result: sound, demo visible and audible, when I want to play it hangs when I choose the difficulty level. > So you have applied some patches, havent you? Well of course I did. The patch set posted yesterday by Bart Oldeman. Or isn't that what you mean? Anyway I get a boot-up message which begins Linux DOS emulator 1.1.3.9 $Date: 2002/12/15 $ Extra info: I use ms-dos 6.00. Maybe that's relevant. Regards, Jan
