SimCity 2000 was the squeal to SimCity, and was released to multiple platforms. This article refers to the MS-DOS version.

Making it work

The game includes an INSTALL.EXE which sets the video and sound cards, however for the sound card, it reports a failure to verify the Sound Blaster, and other, cards. Setting the correct IRQ/DMA/port settings does not seem to help.

Please update this article if you have information which will let this game work with sound and music.

Tested

  • 22 June 2008 by HB:
Tested on Fedora 9, with repository RPM: dosbox.i386 0.72-4.fc9.
Mouse works fine, but sound and music is lacking.

Tested on Windows XP SP2, with DOSBox 0.72. SC200 V. 1.0 (12/06/04) CD-ROM with Urban Renewal kit. (No CD boot, just install)
Mouse and music worked OK but SFX were lacking. Reseted SFX setup to Sound Blaster Compatile with HEX 220 - IRQ 7 - DMA 1 and it worked! but not all the time, seems to be rather random.
