Works fine with DosBox 0.74 (2014-11-01 09:13) GameDoctorPC
The game fully works with DOSBox. I've made a (german) video tutorial:

If the artificial enemy is _very_ strong... (2004-07-20 00:41) drizztdn79
...the copy protection of the BI2 CD-ROM has kicked in. You need to add the label of the CD-ROM (assuming your CD-ROM lies in drive D:):

mount d d:\ -t cdrom -label BATTLEISLE2

Now the computer will be weak as usual.
No problems so far. (2004-01-20 17:06) MiniMax
Important: Get the CD-ROM drive right!

It can be confusing because the INSTALL program defaults the CD-ROM drive to just 'D:'. But on my CD-ROM (a 1998 edition), the Battle Isle 2 proper is not in the top-level directory (D:\) - it is in 'D:\BI2'. So set the drive to 'D:\BI2' (or whereever your game proper is), and you should be all set. Alternatively, use a text editor and edit entry no. 0002 in PATH.TXT as required.

Sounds - I seem to get the best sound with the "FM - Music" option set to a 'Roland MT-32 or compatible with Roland MPU MIDI Interface', I/O address = 330. "FX - Effects" is set to a 'Creative Labs Sound Blaster Pro(TM) Digital Sound', I/O address = 220, Interrupt = 7, DMA-Channel 1 = 1.

Running successfully with sounds/animation. Needs to mount cd data as E drive.
