The game loaded and ran fine in version 0.60 but, became problematic in-game. Sound support for theme hospital has always been iffy, even under DOS. Sound worked with no problems after running that sound setup BAT file. But its annoying to play the game because its running slow (on my 3ghz.). I have the same problems as above and I'm also wondering what sound setup I should use.Ĭrash after splash screen when digital audio is set. Runs fine on a Pentium Dual-Core 1.6Ghz.(Laptop) Would NOT advise going under 1800 clock cycles, otherwise it becomes choppy.

How do you download a game? if you could help me out it would be appreciated, no problems ( 11:22)Īs most people have had, I too have had no sound.īut this isn't a problem if you listen to music while playing it, or remember what it was like originaly. A 2.61 GHz duel core should be able to run this. I am still having very slow playback, even with frames turned up 75000+. In dosbox game launcher I have the display set to 'surface' and the sound to 'sb16'.Īlthough it appears there should be no problems with the latest version. The slowdown seems to have been largely caused on this machine by the display scaler being on, so turn it off if your having issues. After that the game should be ok (it was the solution for my launcher). You could try going to the SOUND folder in the games directory and click on SETSOUND to set your midi and digital audio options in windows. If you copy the cds content to your pc, start the game from dosbox or a launcher, running the HOSPITAL file, and have no sound, it may be because the games config hasnt been able to write any audio settings. No slowdown or sound skipping when I move objects quickly.

Its playing well on vista using dosbox game launcher (with dosbox 0.73), on a low end 1.5ghz dual laptop with 2gb ram. Works for me no slowdown on low end laptop ( 20:25) It says "this program cannot be run in dos mode" and I've tried both v0.74 and 0.73 and it says the same thing in both. Runs on 0.72, 0.73 and 0.74 when sound is turned off, else it gives same error:

I used the orignial Theme Hospital with the one offical patch (from Bullfrog itself, not that community one). If u have done this start the game normally and the sound will work nice and smooth.

Make sure to set "Creative Labs Sound Blaster Pro (New Version)" on "MIDI Music" and "Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 or AWE32" on "Digital audio". Just execute "SETSOUND.EXE" in the "SOUND" directory and configure the sound itself. Retrieved 1 March 2018.Theme Hospital works fine on Version 0.74.

The archive consists of a directory full of these images in various formats for each game, and a second "catalog" DOS executable that contains more images and basic explanatory text. These pictures show the game in many different stages of development, including what are clearly extremely early versions of the game. These early screenshots were printed in all the videogame magazines at the time, and seem to be the original source of many of the images above. This shows a doctor doing his rounds in a ward, and bringing up a cut chart for each patient at their bed.įound on the internet is a "preview" archive of official Bullfrog screenshots of their games in development in 1995/96, including Dungeon Keeper, Theme Hospital, Syndicate Wars, Creation, and others.

After hospital visits, this idea was dropped and the game shifted to using comical ailments instead. There was difficulty in basing the game on real hospitals because the developers knew that theme parks are naturally much more colourful and fun than hospitals. The game was set for release on 27 March.September - The game was set for a November release.May - By this time, the plan to have four time zones had been abandoned.Late 1994/early 1995 - After much research, it was decided that the game would feature made-up illnesses rather than real ones.
