What is your favourite port of lemmings?
I like the DOS versions, but I wish their was a way to get VGA graphics with TGA sound.
Ok, I have a way to let you do VGA graphics + TGA sound even for DOS Lemmings.
First, try out the
method given by DragonsLover in configuring DOSBox to only emulate the Tandy sound hardware.
On my machine, it works for my copy of ONML but doesn't work for my copy of DOS Lemmings. But since I think they were multiple releases of DOS Lemmings, there's a slight chance you may have a version where DragonLover's method is sufficient.
If it doesn't work, here's my solution. It involves a hacked version of tandysnd.dat:
1) make a backup copy of DOS Lemming's adlib.dat file
2) overwrite adlib.dat with the file attached here, which is a slightly hacked version of tandysnd.dat
3) Just like what DragonLovers said, edit DOSBox.conf's [speaker] section to have tandy=on. But leave oplmode=auto in the [sblaster] section.
Now when you run DOS Lemmings in VGA mode it will
always do the Tandy sound. To revert it back to adlib sound, just restore the original adlib.dat from the backup copy.
[Note: whenever you change DOSBox.conf, remember you have to save the changes and then restart DOSBox for the changes to take effect.]
