I was able to get Syndicate to run under DosBox in WinXP without crashing!
Here's what I can remember about what I did.
I set synd.bat to my DosBox soundblaster settings in order to get sound working. They're both set to IRQ:7 DMA:1 IO:220. DosBox cycles are set to 10000 and memory up to 128MB.
I do get one error when running synd.bat in DosBox, something about not enough extended memory, although XMS and EMS are on.
The game runs fast enough, but sound anywhere BUT the missions is stunted. As long as the game isn't stunted I'm happy!
I get the feeling that the crash problem is the memory settings. DosBox is set to 16MB by default, and is probably not enough for the game.
