Step 2: Describe the problem:

Just a heads up you may want to update your readme for OpenLaura

Currently the commands tab to extract the data files from Steam version shows up all in one line making it confusing. Try putting spaces between the dosbox commands. LIKE:

mount C .

imgmount d ".\game.dat" -t iso -fs iso

xcopy D:\DATA\ C:\DATA\

Maybe add: also copy your movies to the folder for use with PC installations of OpenLara etc.

xcopy D:\FMV\ C:\FMV\

and one more thing is the Steam version which i bet most people are using, music is compatible as well

You can use steam version soundtracks, goto ..\Steam\steamapps\common\Tomb Raider (I)\ and copy all the .mp3 files (02.mp3 to 10.mp3) rename them all put "track_" in front of the number like (02.mp3->track_02.mp3 ) up to 10.mp3. Copy them to /audio/ Now you have the sound.

Optional: OGG Files sound superior in this port convert your .mp3 files to .ogg Install Fre:ac https://www.freac.org/ add all "*.mp3" files from ..\Steam\steamapps\common\Tomb Raider (I)\ to freac (02.mp3 to 10.mp3) goto ->Selected Encoder and choose "Ogg Vorbis Encoder". Then goto Options->General Settings and tick ->"Use input file folder if possible" and then under "Filename pattern"-> "change to ". Now hit the green play button to start encoding. Once done go back to your steam game folder and rename all the new .ogg files just like the mp3's put "track_" in front of the number like (02.ogg->track_02.ogg). If you ever need these files to add again they should now be available in you steam game directory! Copy them to /audio/

Also a couple things i got inspired by your DOSBOS Pure tutorial and made a hakchi2 compatible package for Raptor: Call of the Shadows with the shareware version installed to maybe inspire some ppl to buy the game (it's pretty cheap about $5 for the game) it has a tweaked SETUP.INI with proper controls, Increased music volume and correct setting's for the sound with 4 channels as this runs the game smoother than the full 8 channels. https://store.steampowered.com/app/358360/Raptor_Call_of_the_Shadows_1994_Classic_Edition/

CLV-G-RAPTOR.zip https://mega.nz/file/4QxCkZAa#xLJbK_lyKwJ9kQTb_K6VkmN-5GJIBKkHsqeIP3-E_v4

If you include this in your catalog please leave out mention of me as i am not going to maintain this.

And 1 other issue is Sonic CD Deconstructed seems to be defaulting to the second controller as the input you may want to check this out

@someyoungguy00 I have been a little busy lately with work and such. Thanks for the patience involved with me getting back to you on your posted issue. Any and all feedback is most welcome, as far as Updates are concerned!

You are welcome to join our Discord and directly message me there, if you wanna have more hands on with some of the things that may go into the very next Update. For the record, the "reverse overclock" stuff I have been incorporating will go into DOSBox Pure Next Update, as well. What this means is that games that don't run all that well with Pure, currently, as in the more stubborn ones...can be reverse overclocked to run better and more optimally faster! PLUS, I will have sound fixes added, so you can run many of these Cores in HD sound, with negligible hits to performance and speed, something of which was not possible in earlier Updates, without compromising the integrity of how well things ran! We are in a very good spot now:)
