hey,

been playing with WINcab for a while now on my XP machine and think its great :D and was planning on shifting it to my windows 98 (dos mode) PC with arcadeos, mame, and DOScab. only problem being is DOScab doesn't show the music! it loads you can through the keyboard tap the buttons but shows no music

im gunna play with it later so might be able to shed so light on it

Chris:
Remember you are no longer in the world of long filenames, so check your SongPath and make sure it conforms to what DOS supports.

c:\music

is taht too long !?!?!?!?

and thanks for the reply, could it be down to the fact i was trying it on my xp machine, basicly my DOScab HDD is in THIS pc and on boot up i boot from it to see if all the music copied over etc before sticking it back in its proper cab, so could it be that theres no soundcard installed

btw i am totaly new to DOS really ! i have got ARCADEOS to play a few SILENT games and liked WINcab but im guessing i have to load up things before DOScab for it to work in dos? because in windows 98 DOScab does show the music

Chris:
Can you set DebugLevel=4 in JUKEBOX.INI and run DOSCAB  and send the resuting jbdebug.log file to celamantia@charter.net?

Thanks!

Can you clarify that a bit?

So it loads up ..... and you can use the keyboard ..... but nothing happens at all?
Or does it play just fine but you just can't SEE it happening?

I guess if you don't have a sound card installed you wouldn't know for sure it was playing at alll though.

I ask because I had a similar problem where it played just fine but nothing showed up. (just couldn't see it)
It was the video card drivers.

Just thought I'd throw that out there.
