When I drag cdshock.exe onto my dosbox shortcut I get system shock running fairly well with sound and music and digital voiceovers. But the audio quality doesn't seem as high as it should be, judging by some of the footage of SysShock's Cd version posted on youtube...

I was trying to tell the game to use different emulated hardware by running the sound setup utility inside its 'INITIAL.EXE' in the game's 'INST' directory, but it doesn't seem to detect any of the hardware I select, even when manually configuring the 'sound cards' to match the parameters listed in dosbox's .conf.

Is this something I should bother with or does the default audio sound as good as it gets....

Use manual setup. Set it to use Sound Blaster 16, Adress 220, IRQ 7, DMA 1.

In Dosbox.conf, find all instances of "22050" and replace them with "44100" to increase the mixing rate and slightly improve the sound quality.

Also using "real musical" card for music improve it quality too. I using Roland usually, but I am not sure, if it works in DOSBox out of the box...

Also I heard of cool mode, but not tried it myself:

You managed to link the article where they define us from AB as thieves for offering System Shock. Check the friendly comments -_-"

Well, I rarely pay attention to comments. Also, it is not article itself, and even in that case - it is note about mode, not mode itself.

And mouselook+redefinable keyboard looks really useful...

If anyone got problems running this game i made a howto video and uploaded it to Youtube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMNQubwJ_SU

It shows (from scratch) how to run the game version from abandonia without any addons in dosbox using the D-Fend Reloaded frontend.

No idea. You'd need to post more info than that, like the commands you use in DosBox, your operating system, the DosBox version you're using etc.

I've wanted to play this game forever. Now I can.


THANK YOU ABADONIA!!

Part of my problem was that the game's config program was not convinced the game had been installed to hard drive, and as such wouldn't save the sound settings I would input....but after manually editing CYB.CFG to the SB16 settings you suggested it seems to work much better...

I used the cheat sheet here - http://cd.textfiles.com/101bg3/PAGE2/SHOCK/

which looks like it was released with the system shock demo, to make sure i was interpreting CYB.CFG correctly...
