![]() Yes. DosBox emulates a dos machine, and since XP is not based on dos, as opposed to Win9x, you would probably need it. Another tool is VDMSound. Go to Programs on the main page here, and get them. Read the FAQs for setting them up and tuning the performance, then feel free to ask if there still are any issues with them.
Second: Some games has been ripped and "unneccessary" files removed. That means some "talkies" had the voice files taken out. These files are usually big, making the game too big for Abandoniia. In some cases these missing files are downloadable as extras.
