#Princess maker 2 english patch driver#

I tried to replace the PMD driver with an updated one from some japanese site, but this resulted in pm2 just crashing to desktop the minute the music starts playing (which was a bit to be expected рџњ) The problem obviously lies with the adlib dll from VDMsound and the lame driver called 'professional music driver', which pm2 uses and is used in many other japanese games. People who have the same problem can test it ^^) I don't now for how long this can be buffered, like keeping it on desktop for an hour before I play, but this is not a fix anyway рџњ (so keeping it at desktop a minute and switch back would allow me to play 1 minute at full speed.

But when both are running adlib, the game and music slows down to around 50% it's original speed (even when adlib is configured at the wrong port : the sound won't play because of the wrong port, but it still has that slowdown)ДЄ funny thing is, when I alt-tab to desktop and keep it for a few seconds there, then alt tab back to the game, the game will run for that amount of seconds on the right speed. Now running in VDMsound without adlib or PM2 without the soundblaster (adlib) setting, will run the game at the right speed without music. (you can shut off midi, soundblaster and joystick emulation in launchpad and it will still run with music) You might think the output could be manipulated using soundblaster settings in vdmsound, which is not the case. Princess Maker 2 will only output sound compatible with VDMsound when it's configged to use soundblaster. I also have this speed problem and I really want it fixed, so I hope someone can help me ^^ДЇirst let me tell you what I've found out so far: I digged up this thread while trying to get princess maker 2 running with sound. It's just an old DOS game, made to run durig the time of Windows 95.

Video mode (Software, OpenGL, Direct3D, or Glide, and resolution) : That I don't know how to find out. Reproducibility of problem (always, only once, always but only on a specific level, etc.) : Always, but particularly bad in adventure mode. Game name (and version, if applicable) : Princess Maker 2Дescription of problem (be detailed: saying 'it's jerky' doesn't help, saying 'the player sprites seem to be jerky when I'm pressing any of the arrow keys' does) : Like said above, it's just slow, but consistent, not jerky.

Operating system : Windows 2000, Service Pack 3 Video board w/ RAM amount and type : GeForce II MX (16 MB), Herucles Prophet Processor type and speed : AMD Athlon (TBird) 1200 MHz I tried playing with the DMA rate, to no avail. In ordinary dos, it went a little too fast. The midi music sounds slow, and the game is mushy under vdms. I'd like to know how to make this fun little game faster.
