I've been trying to get this to work properly in XP for AGES.
#TYRIAN 2000 2.0 FULL#
Running on Pentium quality does NOT help, and you may need a rather powerful computer to get it to run at full potential. smoother, but you may still have to either lower cycles or increase frameskip. Strangely, it seems to be slowed down a lot when you get into the "Ship Specs" screen between levels. Minor glitches with in-game music, but it performs far better that with previous versions of DosBox. All other levels in the five episodes will play nice. Transparency effects and multiple layers still slow down the game a lot, but the only level in the game that really requires detail level to be turned down is Assassin (Episode 1 final). The game runs very well cycles 16000 on my Athlon 2500+, Pentium quality.

if you have similar specs w/512 ram you *shuld* be able to run it on pentium. Runs fine at high detail, sempron 2400+ w/256 pc3200 ram. It is great to finally play the game with sound. However, I have to route it through aseqview or there's some problem with dmix and I get no sound or no music. This runs ridiculously slow, and if I turn up the cycles a lot, the music skips all over the place.įM works best, but it works with MIDI too. On high detail and 15000 cycles with my 2Ghz AMD, 512 RAM it runs fine except for one thing: the mini-game you get by typing "destruct" at the title screen. I have no idea why this is a hidden option, really. You should now have a detail mode between medium-high detail that works great even on my 25MHz 386. Start the game, and in-game press Esc and highlight the Detail setting again, but his time press the left arrow key. Press 'W', it should now be in Wild mode. Go to Setup.exe and highlight the Detail setting. You might also want to try the hidden 'Laptop VGA' detail setting.

Runs perfectly on my 3GHz CPU on High detail setting This is the only config that runs the game smoothly on my p4 1.6 ghz, 256 mb ram, win xp. Those who are complaining about performance issues can try setting core to dynamic and cycles to auto. In addition, setting buffer from 10 to 100 corrects music interruptions. Runs perfectly smooth in "light beam" levels like Assassin or in Lord of the Game difficulty. Game settings to FM Sound, Soundblaster for FX, Pentium detail. Music slowdowns still occur in high-draw areas. SB16 emu, 44.1KHz sample/opl rate, 100 prebuff, block size down to 512 to help with music slowdown and FX lag (to test difference, test blocksizes in setup's jukebox compared to normal setup screen). Near perfect run, even Destruct mode! ( 22:12)Įven using D-fend frontend to automate some configuration I've been able to get it to run great.Ĥ0000 cycles dynamic, 0 frameskip, ogl render, 63mb limit + EMS/XMS. P4 3.00GHz HT, PC3200 1024MB dual channel RAM
#TYRIAN 2000 2.0 PATCH#
If you grab the old patch to fix the cycle ceiling on games like Tyrian you can set cycles to Auto to eliminate all slowdowns completely.
#TYRIAN 2000 2.0 WINDOWS#
The only way to close it is press the windows key and force it close from task manager.Ĭouple alterations to my above config, use DirectDraw instead of OGL, use GUS drivers/pro patches for better performance/sound quality. It doesn't even respond to Ctrl+F9 or Ctrl+F10. Just after pressing Quit, the game crashes and DOSBox stops responding. Something Very Strange Happens, if i'm at data cube scene, I think the game thinks I'm pressing the arrow keys, and it just scrolls through the text. I'm also using vista, if that would effect anything.
