I been lookin for someone who had same problem with me but no i think noone did (or not did write here//or i did not understand what i read, whatever )

Anyways, here's my problem with the starting the game. This is my first time actually, so i just followed the steps about DOSbox. But here's what i do. (Tell me if I'm wrong) After the sound card selection in setup.exe, (i choose all of them by simply "enter"ing to whatever it says there) i need to launch the game by writing "crack", right (in my blackthrone folder)? However, it does not start this way. There's just an image shaped by /,\,_'s and it writes "blackthrone from interplay" and continues like "dark knight bla bla, enjoy this cool game blabla pentagram". And nothing happens afterwards. When I try to start game by black.exe, it just gives me an information about (what was that) some Midi files for YAMAHA OPL 2 something. I have not worked with ms-dos that much so i can't find any ways to solve this problem. Please help me with this, I'm dying for tis game! My whole childhood was full of these: blackthrone, flashback, myst, warcraft etc... And it was a fortunate encounter to find this one

Seeking for your immediate help...

I'm sorry Iowan, I will be more specific this time. First off let's forget about running the game in DOS because I just tested it in Win 98 and it runs fine. Here's what you need to do.

I tried this remedy and was returned with the same error, are there any other possible fixes?

Hey, a solution came up! When i turn off the sounds (not the music) It runs with black.exe!!! However, it is not that much fun without gun sounds!! How can I fix this problem?

P.S: Trying to choose different sound setups on setup.exe is already tried.

It seems that the game crashes when trying to initialize sound. Even though you say you tried different configurations, there should be no problem if you use DOSBox and you choose the right one, really. The DOSBox default is: Sound Blaster (Pro in this case), adress/port 220, IRQ 7, DMA 1. These should work.

Actually, default is Sound Blaster 16.
Backwards compatibile with SB Pro / Pro II.

Yeah I meant that the closest option in Blackthorne is SBPro, I've got it installed and checked it.

I can't get to the 4th level...I get to what I presume is the end of the 3rd. There is a big chasm. If I try to jump it I fall in and lose 2 hit points, which is usually all I have by this point. If I climb down I can't climb up the other side. What am I missing?

[Lord Douglias]

OK...I will answer my own question. How to get past the chasm near the end of the 4th level? I forgot about the "Big jump" that you learn in tutorial. Arrow..."D" (run)..."F" (jump). But its tough to do it correctly. For some reason I can't hit the the keys just so every time...Thus loose precious hit points. So I have a cheat! Minimilize your screen. "Cntl F11" to slow Dosbox way way down to like 900CPU. Then hit arrow key...then "D"...After he takes one running stride in slow motion let go the "D" and quickly hit "F". Its really no different than at normal speed (about 5000CPU for this game) but just much easier to do.
