SoundBlaster is coloured white when VDMsound is run, and not when it isn't. This error, however, is not displayed with Windows XP/VDMsound.Ī further piece of evidence that SB emulation is kind of working in Win9x is that, with Tyrian2k, the setup program colours white a 'detected' sound device. I think this shows, however, that Tyrian IS able to produce the sound effects, but seems to be unwilling to do so. The sound effects device remains at 'no effects', the music slows down, and *when I change selection, it now produces the 'change' sound effect*. With the original Tyrian, I select SoundBlaster, it pauses a while, then I hear a kind of banging sound (I recognise this as a Tyrian sound effect) and it displays the message "Error 253: Sound effects disabled.". Some very strange stuff is happening when I run setup.exe and select SoundBlaster as my sound card. I've just been doing some more experimenting, and I'm convinced that it should be possible to get the sound effects for Tyrian(2k) working in Windows 95/98. □ĪNYWAY what this means is that Tyrian will *always* have problems in XP (as long as it remains a DOS app) whether it's the patched original or Tyrian2k, so let's switch attention to Win9x (this kind of thing was one of the main reasons I wanted the Win9x VDMsound □. Can you tell that I despise the people that have the current license for the Tyrian source? 'Bout time they released it so that somebody can port it to a native Windows XP application, instead of tyring to squeeze money out of an 8 year old game for an 8 year old OS. Makes you wonder whether the morons who released Tyrian 2000 just ran that on the Tyrian executable and replaced a few graphics. ![]() So I ran it on the original Tyrian, and now that works on my computer too, but guess what? *Identical* sound problems as Tyrian 2000. It also includes bug fixes, a few new ships and weapons (mostly related to Pretzel Pete), a new Time. The main addition of this version is full compatibility with the Windows 2000 and Windows XP operating systems. This version was originally released by XSIV Games to promote Pretzel Pete, an upcoming game which was ultimately never released. ![]() I did, and just downloaded the 'CTBPPAT' patch. Tyrian 2000 is the final official release of Tyrian. ![]() Just do a Quick Search on Tyrian 2000 and you'll see the fun we had with that one on XP. Even if you configure it to use no audio at all, performance will be terrible.
