Able to run on DOS Box .74. I have to slow down my computer to 6% to get it to run at a slightly choppy but playable speed. Now if only I could get Apocalypse to run consistently??? |

Picked up X-Com: UFO Defense through Gamestop, and it came running with DOSBox .72. The game itself is fine, although on larger mission maps the play gets choppy. Real problem is that after closing DOSBox, I can no longer get to the Internet; I have to reboot in order to restore connectivity. |

It runs, but some parts are really slow while others are too fast. Really wierd. Just gonna use the Windows version with the fan patch. No Gravis, but at least it's playable. |

0.72 on Vista, it runs now DOSBOX for the win ! (2008-01-25 01:31) |

In my prior comment, the blank screen is a known problem with the windows version on Vista . It will likely only be patched by some clever hacker.
I got a DOS version from abandonia.com and it works perfectly in DOSBOX after unpacking the zip except for no sound. Here is how to get the sound working in this version:
You need to execute sndstart.exe just before executing go.exe. Once, you will need to configure the sound using setup.exe. I used the default settings in my dosbox.conf:
sbtype=sb16
sbbase=220
irq=7
dma=1
Then, my autoexec at the end of dosbox.conf makes everything work:
[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
mount g g:x-com
g:
soundsndstart
go

IMPORTANT! v1.4 and sound issues. (2007-11-30 06:25) |
Neville
|
|
|
Floppy versions manually updated to v1.4 have corrupted sound. This is not DOSBox fault, but MicroProse's. Use v1.0, v1.2 or the v1.4 version shipped with CD-ROM instead.
If you downloaded the game elsewhere, make sure it's not v1.4 before complaining of sound issues. |

At first look the version 1.4 of the game seems to work. But it is freezing often in the tactical part. I have to restart dosbox and restart the game... Please help me i realy want to play this game on MACOSX! Thx |

No sound (2007-03-06 11:06) |
p_nutter

|
|
My version of the game has a file called sndstart.exe in the sound directory - this needs to be run first or sound won't work. One of the batch files will run it first for you but the others won't. |

For those having trouble with 'win32' or 'won't run under DOS' messages... You've got the win32 port of xcom, not the original dos version (The collectors edition from 1998). The win32 version port was poorly done, and you are better off getting the dos version, which will run quite well under DosBox. |

On debian, the game works perfectly.
But little problem with the sound and the game is too slow.
I hope I can configure dosbox to correct this. |

I'm trying to run UFO Defense on Mac OS X but every time I try to run it it tells me that it must be run under Win 32. What does this mean and how do I fix it? |

Emulating Dos (2005-03-17 15:27) |
Jandinga

First of all, thanks for making this dos emulator. I can finally play all my favorites like X-com, MOO, MOM, and other oldies but goodies. I just can't believe that it takes so much CPU power to emulate DOS! :-) But I guess it doesn't help when you throw in the sound and video card emulation. And a bit ironic that here we are in 2005 emulating software and hardware from 10 years. I wonder if in 10 more years we'll be emulating WinXP! Happy Gaming. |

Thanks to all for their efforts in making this classic game playable again in the age of XP. Could somebody point a non-technical person toward instructions on how to setup and use DosBox and this game - I have the original CD.
Thanks all,

Works great, except that i always get shot by aliens. But that's my fault for running out of Time Units while i'm standing in their ufo :) |

v0.62 Settings (2004-09-30 09:54) |
teshia

On a P4-2800 with 512 MB of RAM I'm using the following settings in my xcom.conf file and cutting out the unnecessary stuff:
[dosbox]
machine=vga
[cpu]
cycles=15000
[sblaster]
sblaster=true
The game will crash if you try and enable Gravis Ultrasound and run it that way. Run SETUP.EXE and choose Sound Blaster, then Adlib/Sound Blaster, then DMA 1. If you go with another DMA other than 1 you'll get music, but no sounds. |

Can someone put up their config file or email it to me, because I sure as hell can't get it to work..no matter how many setting I've tried (and that's a lot)..unpacthed or patched (1.4) version..
All I see is blue/brown flickering on the upper half of the "screen"..the times it's not ALL black..
I have v0.61 of DOSBox and win2k...help plz. |

Update about sound settings (2004-02-08 09:29) |

Actually, it seems like sound fxs now work regardless of the sound settings :p, maybe it was fixed in DOSBox 0.61.

Thanks to jizang for the sound settings tip.
Indeed, set the Sound Blaster emulation to base=220, irq=10, and dma=1, it works!
If you set dma=3 sound effects will be disabled, I also recommend to play X-Com v1.2... do not install the 1.4 patch! the original sounds effects were replaced in that version, and they suck!
Have fun! |

to solve all your sound problems and many more, simply download:
ftp://ftp.microprose.com/pub/mps-online/new-versions/xcom14.zip
It works for me.
One hint:
if game crash when begining, with a message cannot find c:\foo\bar\blah\english.dat, you can fix it renaming your language.dat file into english.dat.
Have a lot of fun. |

Playing with SFX and music (2004-01-02 05:09) |

My sblaster setting is base=220, irq=10, dma=1. And all sound fx works perfectly. try it. |

Mouse/KB locks up with DMA set to 1. Setting it to 3 fixed the problem, but i don't get any SFX just music, so i think setting the DMA to 3 is just avoiding the problem. |

The game seems to run perfect under version 0.60. All game modes appear to work (Geoscape and Battlescape). However without extended testing, I'm only willing to give it a 99% rating. |
