I need to share this with you guys.. I'm so happy! Here we go...

I bought today a magazine that came with Blood, and I was desperate to play it... DosBox is damn slow, VDMSound is not 100% perfect (the sound... ah the sound...)

So I downloaded the DOS Boot Disk here from Abandonia, along with the Sound Drivers (luckly, I had exactly the Sound Blaster Live! sound card) and configured everything.

I also downloaded a patch that allows me to play in the 640x480 resolution, so the image is damn good!
Get it here: http://www.deathmask.net/buildxp/ (look for "Step 5 - Get NOLFB")

The sound is also perfect, maximum quality and all!

So this is it, running Blood perfectly!

theres still another thing you can do to make it run faster,
http://dos32a.sourceforge.net/
get dos32a and replace dos4gw.exe with it (and rename the dos32.exe to dos4gw.exe)
its a much faster version of that program - will let you play in higher res with faster framerate.
using my tricks http://xoopx.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/blood.html i play in 800x600 on winxp
