Talk:Pandemonium! (video game)

Music

It would seem that the free Pandemonium downloads available on various abandonware sites are unable to play music once the game runs. The sound effects work fine, and the music bar in the options menu displays the music volume at full, but no music is audible. Is this due to the modern sound systems on recent computers, or does the music require the disc? It's a question that I (and many others) would like to find an answer for.

That will be one of two things: the download is a pirate "scene rip" from the time of release that omitted music to save bandwidth (games that use CD audio may take up hundreds of megabytes, even after archiving; this was not feasible for download over dial-up back in ~1996, so music would be stripped from the games; Pandemonium can be compressed to 22mb once the music is removed, for instance). Alternatively if it's a legit disc and you still can't hear anything then it's very likely to be one of the myriad issues with running older Windows games on newer versions of Windows. For audio problems try VDMSound: http://sourceforge.net/projects/vdmsound/ It emulates a prototypical sound card and does so within Windows. If that still doesn't work you could try DosBox, but that's quite a bit of hassle, frankly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.105.211.168 (talk) 15:52, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

PC speed bug

PC version has a "speed" bug. This games runs tooooooo fast on newer PCs. Looks like the developers did not implement any framerate/speed limiter. (I played this long time ago, maybe I missed the speed limiter option hidden somewhere in configuration, or maybe there is a patch available, I don't know) --CrazyTerabyte 21:19, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
