I know this might be a bit of a long shot, but I figured I would give it a go;
I am trying to get Tyrian 2000 to work properly on my Steam Deck, via installing it from my gog library on Heroic. While it managed to install correctly I have a few issues that need to be resolved before I can continue;
The controller support is non-existent. I am unsure if that is fixable, though I suspect I might be able to get around it by remapping the Steam Deck controls. Not really a problem though if anybody knows a solution I’d be happy to hear it.
The real issue is that the music is not playing. Sound effects work just fine, so far, but I don’t get any music. I suspect it has something to do with Dosbox, given the age of the game in question.
I have Tyrian 2000 on GOG as well and was feeling nostalgic. I could replicate the issues and here’s what I did to fix it.
I usually like running DOS games in EmuDeck/Retroarch though.
That seems to have fixed the music problem, thanks!
I have a new issue though; I’m getting a phantom control input, seems to be pushing to the right sometimes. This is exclusive to Tyrian, so it’s not a worn out stick or anything.
