So I guess I'll ask for a refund - this version is missing out features and I don't find that acceptable. Also I know for a fact that in the original you can use the install.exe to change the sound settings without installing it again.

I already found this but I don't want to install a midi wrapper just for this game and using a hex editor is way too inconvenient. Or you replace GOG's configuration with a new CFG file, that already stores your preferred settings. What you can do is finding out how the cryptic storage within the CFG files works and edit it with an hex-editor. GOG's version is a pre-installed version of the game, combined with a DOSBox environment to run it in. If you'd have to change something, you'd have to re-run the installer. It creates a file WINGCMDR.CFG (and CRUSADE.CFG for the expansion) which stores the configuration. Actually, while the DosBox config has sb16 set, my Privateer installation detects/defaults/is set to just 'Sound Blaster' rather than 'Sound Blaster Pro/16. Here is a guy providing a guide and files to run the game with midi sound:ĭeMignon: Unfortunately the game's configuration can only be done by the original installer. The sound config should, of course, be in line with what you configure in Dosbox. drag and drop the file called privater.exe into DOSBox and. or instead go to the folder called Wing Commander 2 (Privateer) and. and close DOSBox with the mouse, next in the folder called Wing Commander 2 (Privateer) make a text file called JOYB.DAT. What you can do is finding out how the cryptic storage within the CFG files works and edit it with an hex-editor (there are some threads about it here). then close DOBox, if DOSBox is in fullscreen then hold alt-enter.

Unfortunately the game's configuration can only be done by the original installer. PS: Yes, you can configure the joystick settings in DOSBox to overcome this problem.

So any help with that would be appreciated. This new version of the Privateer 2 patch can be downloaded here. The sound is not even on soundblaster quality - I guess it's set to adlib which sounds just terrible.

I created a screenshot with some explanations.Captain_Shiny: Well, there's no install/setup exe anywhere, so I have no idea how to change the soundcard or joystick settings. Some buttons like “Nav” have another, similar function on double click.

I think most buttons are self explaining, at least after you know they exist 😉 it is a simulation game, so there is a lot to do. Maybe make different profiles (or layers) for different ship models (huds) as i want to do with privateer. It got a deep and immersive story and challenging gameplay. Go the the game folder of the DOS version, copy the all six e (with from 1 to 6) files and paste them to the game folder of the Windows version, override. The German DOS-version can be installed via GOG.com or GOG Galaxy under 'Extras'. Closest probably is wing Commander Privateer (also have a mgc finished). Install the German DOS-version of Wing Commander 4 from GOG to legally get the following files. It is a space simulation/action game but underwater. Actually even better than with pc keyboard. It is best being played with joystick, but surprisingly in runs smooth with touch. It runs perfectly on phone and is the best looking dos game i yet installed (and i tried so many last weeks). It is an awesome game even by todays standards.

That being said, if you ever had an opportunity to try the DOS Privateer 2, DOSBox converts USB joysticks into a format recognizable by DOS software. USB wasnt even around when Privateer 2 was released, so I can see there being problems with it automatically working.

First of all: why tf has this game not being mentioned here yet?! 😉 Yeah, lack of specific drivers could be a problem.
