Hello.
I would like to play Cyberia in my PC with sound but it says that I need to "set BLASTER" in the "autoexec.bat". I have Windows XP and an "Realtek AC 97".
Please, can somebody help me?
Bye.

Well, since you're Brazilian, I'll reply in Portuguese.
O Cyberia é pra DOS, então vc vai precisar de um programa pra emular ou o DOS, ou o som do DOS. Você pode usar o DOSBox, q é um emulador de DOS excelente, mas eu acho que talvez o jogo fique lento. Eu antes tentaria o VDMSound, q é um software q faz os programas de DOS rodarem com som no XP.
Edit: com o VDM eu não consegui rodar o jogo, ele não acha o CD (talvez dê pra configurar, não tentei muito). Já o DOSBox funcionou tranquilo. Se você tiver dificuldades em configurá-lo, é só perguntar).

By the way, I haven't had any luck with your book so far. Either Uruguay sucks as a source from which to get books, or I suck at finding a good one :T
Still trying, though.

And muchas gracias for searching it.

The line is
SET BLASTER=A??? I? D? E???
- The A value is the card's I/O port. Most common is 220 or 240
- The I value is the card's IRQ setting. Most common is 5 or 7
- The D value is the card's DMA setting. Most common is 1 or 3
- The E value is the card's MIDI port value. This isn't always needed but if the card supports it, it enables better MIDI synthesis on the card. Most common is 330 or 340
It goes in the autoexec.bat , but you can also just type it in manually as a command when you access the DOS prompt.

It just won't work, WK. Cyberia is for DOS, and even if you can use the set blaster command under WinXP, it just won't make your DOS game recognize your hardware. I told him to try running it with DOSBox or VDMSound. I just tried VDMSound, but it fails to recognize the CD-Rom. DOSBox, OTOH, worked like a charm.
