![]() ![]() The one thing I know that is missing from the source code that we provide is the Smacker library from RAD Tools. It is theoretically possible to hack the executable to replace the existing code - the source code helps to understand the structure of the code, so it is easier to reverse engineer things - but that is still going to require a fair amount of effort :) It also seems like part of the music code might be in one of those missing libraries, but I haven't checked if it actually makes use of it. Well noticed! GOG, please have a look at Pidgeot's remarks. (There are 3 such APIs in my experience, only the highest-level API, MCI, is affected). Pidgeot: That *particular* issue is because the MIDI synthesizer that Windows uses has a crazy long startup time when using the high-level MIDI API in modern Windows versions. This, however, requires modifying the source code, and unfortunately, the source code included here is not complete it refers to some libraries which are not included, so it is not really possible to make a custom build. the stream-based API, which does not exhibit this issue. The other, more reliable option, is to switch MIDI APIs, to e.g. One option is therefore to tell Windows to use a different MIDI synth by default - but googling suggests this has been removed in Windows 8, and even so, it would have to be up to each user to do so. That *particular* issue is because the MIDI synthesizer that Windows uses has a crazy long startup time when using the high-level MIDI API in modern Windows versions. Should work after it.Zeffyr: Small lags (2-3 secs) happened to me few times, between MIDI tracks - one ended, the second one was about to start and game froze. Just select the box infront of it, so its marked and press okay. ![]() This is where you can find the legacy components. On the left side you will see, Turn windows features on or off. (Skip step if you are already at programs and features) Once in programs, click on programs and features But when you're on the Category setting, you have to press Programs. If you're on small icons you can press Programs and features here. When the control panel opens, this step is different depending on your settings. Once the menu opened type "control panel" Without the quotes (If there is no bar to type in, just type it anyway) Press the start button (Button with the windows flag) Check the box infront of Legacy Components (6th from top for me) but can you be more thorough in the instructions.? ![]()
