Darkseed: How to get music to play?

[dddddara 0]

Hi all!

 

Contrary to the NT Compatible list, Darkseed (the original game) DOES run on XP Sp2 with a few tweaks. I'm using VDMS to start it but the beginning music does not run. Anyone have any advice on what else I could try? I'm running P4 3.2 with an Audigy Platinum.

 

Thanks.

Just tried it in http://dosbox.sourceforge.net

 

Music plays in intro.

 

Could never get the game to work in NT4/2K/XP without dosbox.

Thanks, dosfreak. I tried the dosbox version I've had for a while and it didn't work. Maybe I need a new version or patch. I'll check.
