So it takes some fine tuning, but seems to run well in the end.

I then set music to General Midi and sound FX to sound blaster pro on irq 5 and after switching to full screen the sounds problem was fixed as well. setting ems=false and setting irq to 5 (both in the nf as well as in the install - maybe that was what you forgot, fancy-free?) made the game work, but the sound was all chopped up. I had the same problems as described here, starting with the ems problem and continuing with the irq one. I'm running a 750mhz P3, NVIDIA RIVA TNT2, Labtec USB sound, and Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro (which also works, btw). Privateer was installed with sound AND music on sb16. I got both sound and music at 3000 cycles, frameskip=2, sb16 (base=220 irq=7 dma=1 hdma=5), prebuffer=12. wow I had goosebumps when the game loaded up fine and everything lol. The disk version had a speech pack, but that just primarily added speech to the in-flight communication, not the story's cutscenes. The CD version of Privateer had speech in all the cutscenes. xms should be set to true and ems must be set to false. Both xms and ems should not be set to false. Went to, and found something about the black screen you got:ĭ002-FFFF has to do with your sound card configuration.

I have looked around and Privateer is obviously still a money generator - have to pay GOG for the privilege of running it, so lets see if this might help. Hope your having a fine middle of the week - just finished my Corporate Tax Filing and Financial Statement, so finally have time to play at the start of a beautiful June day!
