This setup relies on Dosbox to enable you to play the game. DOSBOX is a DOS Emulator which in essence sets the game up in a DOS Environment . You can download it by double clicking on the link I have provided below (when it opens choose the first option , as this is the latest version). The easiest way to do this is to Download it to your Desktop and then Double Click on the .exe file there to install the program and set it up to where you install your applications.
(Ex: C:\program files\dosbox).
...Let's begin the install
- Install the Game. The default
path will be C:/scream.
If you use a different location for games, install to there. For instance,
I have a game folder in my
G: Partition so I installed the game to G:/games/scream.
- After installing you will be
prompted to configure the Sound and Music Cards. I chose "Soundblaster
and 100% compatible sound cards" for Voice and Sound Effects and
"Soundblaster 16"
for Music (midi). For each one
Double Click on your choice, then Double Click on Configure
Automatically If the game recognizes your choice it will tell you. Then
Click on OK.
- Do this for both, then Double
Click on Done. After this, Down Arrow to Done and Enter Your
sound card is now configured for the game.
- Next open up Windows Explorer
(Start-Programs-Accessories-
Windows Explorer) and go to
the drive letter where you installed the game, Double Click on that
to open it up and Double Click on the Game Directory.
On the right hand side you'll find a file "Scream:
with MS-Dos Batch File"
under it. Right Click on this and you'll see and "Edit"
option. Left Click on that and Notepad
will open with the contents of that file.
- Go on top of the Notepad options
and Click on Edit
and then Select "All". This
will highlight all the text from that file.
- Now Press your "Delete
Key" erasing everything in there. Then type this line
only
S.exe vesa
-
Go to the top File menu and Save and Exit
S.exe vesa
-
Save and Exit.
Get ready to play the game.
- Open
up Windows Explorer again and go to the DOSBOX
Directory.
- Double
Click on that to open it and on the right hand side you'll see a
folder that says DOSBOX with
Conf. file underneath.
- Right
Click on this and Click on the "Edit " option.
- Scroll
Down to the bottom of this where it says "autoexec".
- Underneath
there, type the following:
(Be sure to put in the spacing as I have it.)mount C: C:\
This is telling DOSBOX that the game is installed in your C:\ drive. If you installed the game in another drive letter type that in instead. I installed the game in my G: partition, so I have:
mount G: G:\
Now let's get DOSBOX to recognize your CDROM Drive
Note: if your CD-ROM Drive is letter 'E', then replace the 'D:' below with 'E:'. Be sure to put in the spaces where I have them
mount d: d:\ -t cdrom
-
Scroll up to where it says
Fullscreen=false
and change to
Fullscreen=true
This will run Dosbox in fullscreen mode.
-
Next look for :
Cycles=3000
Change this to:
Cycles=7050
Save and Exit as before.
Note: If the sound is choppy or the game is running slow you might try
Cycles=9050
It all depends on the speed of your processor.
-
On the Right hand side you'll see the DOSBOX. EXE. file (just says DOSBOX with a square icon before it), Right Click on this and then Click where it says "Send To" then Click on Desk Top. This will create a DOSBOX Icon on your Desk Top.
-
Double Click on the DOSBOX Icon on your Desk Top and this will open up the DOSBOX Screen.
Now we are ready to play.
-
Type
C:
-
Then Press the Enter Key. If you installed the game in another directory type that letter (ex G:)
Type
cd c:\scream -
Then Press the Enter Key.
This is the default directory path for the game. If you used anything different you'd change the above to that .
(ex : I have the game installed in my G:\partition in a folder for games.) So, I type:
-
Your cursor will now look like this
C:\scream>
(at this point make sure the game disk is in your cdrom drive).
-
Now right at the bracket " >" after
C:\scream>
Type scream again so the line will look like this:
C:\scream>scream
-
Press Enter and the game will start to play.
Remember: To get out of DOSBOX at any point
(ex. saved game and you want to quit) after exiting the game as normal you'll have the DOSBOX Screen still open. To get out simply type:exit
and then Press the Enter Key.
Note: The sound may be a little choppy and the game may play a little slow. If this is the case hold down your "CTRL" Key while continually tapping your F12 Key. This will increase the DOSBOX Run Cycles and things should start improving. If you find that all of a sudden the sound starts breaking up again after it was getting better you probably increased the cycles too much. So do the same as before but this time, keep tapping the F11 Key till things even out (first try changing the cycles to cycles=9050 in the DOSBOX.config file).
Enjoy the game!

DOSBOX is a wonderful free program created by those incredible computer techs over at VOGONS.
