System 7.5.3 and lack of sound with older titles?

Post by Wally »

Hi guys,

I have tried some games in Basilisk 2 and Mini VMac and have found the sound doesn't work in some games in Basilisk 2.

One of the games that comes into mind is Phrase Craze Plus. Now this game is fun without sound but who likes to play games without sound? :P

Any ideas on why the code might be not allowing Phrase Craze Plus sound?

Edit: I'll add more titles below

Cairo Shootout.

Some of the old games just weren't designed for the system that Basilisk II emulates. Cairo Shootout is actually in our collection of games for Mini vMac. Maybe you'll have to stick with that emulator.

Some old games may play sound with the Fusion PC 3.0 emulator in DOSBox.
Performance will probably lag a bit because of an emulator inside a emulator.
