Works fine with Movies and Music with Dosbox 0.73 (2009-06-22 16:22)

With Dosbox 0.73 musics play fine (they already were fine with Dosbox 0.72) But the great enhancement is that cinematics are no more choppy...

Works fine including in-game music (2008-08-16 14:16)

Works fine including in-game music. Many tools seem to create cue files that DOSBox doesn't like - I used the free version IsoBuster under XP to get a working file.

DOSBox 0.72 under OS X is the version I'm running Worms 1 under. Being on OS X, I also ran IsoBuster using a VMware image of XP - no problems there either.

100% working in dosbox 0.65(no music tho..) (2007-02-20 03:49)

Here are the instructions for 0.65 :
1.mount the cd or backup the entire cd in a directory and mount it as the cdrom drive.
2.install to hard drive
3.select automatic sound card detection , let setup choose the best soundcard(should choose gravis ultrasound)
4. DO NOT USE dos32a, use the good old fashioned dos4gw
5 core=dynamic

Pros: the game runs at full speed with very low cycles(like 8k to 10k), you can hear sfx
Cons: No music during gameplay (still couldn't fix it :( )

Working in 0.65 (2006-07-21 12:27)

Works in 0.65 except for the music.
Install Worms in Dos Box, from the (mounted) CD, to get a correct setup.cfg. You can also copy all files from the CD to your harddisk, mount that directory as a CD and install from there.

Dos Game Player

It has been a known problem that after you ahve run setup NOT in DOSBox and start the game in DOSBox it will load the DOS/4GW (see a search for Rational Systems) then it will say Please run Setup (or something like that).

On my Athlon XP machine always freeze at DOS4GW.
