Introduction to Star Trek: The 25th Anniversary

Hello everyone, it's Phil with another G.com tweak guide. They recently launched Star Trek: The 25th Anniversary on the weekend, so I had to buy it. It's got a lot of point-and-click adventure-style elements in it and apparently it's very good. I've never played it before, but I'm really looking forward to playing this properly.

Running the Game Out of the Box

I ran the game and saw that the screen is a little bit small just as normal. The music is definitely FM synthesis, also known as Sound Blaster. The Enterprise's primary mission is Captain Patter report speech, which is working fine. Controls with the mouse are working fine too. Okay, let's quit that game and start tweaking it.

Quitting the Game and Starting the Tweaking Process

Let's minimize that so we go to our g game folder of the game and open this configuration file here and let's start tweaking. Full screen resolution set that to your native resolution of your monitor window resolution if you want to play in the window or toggle between full screen and window screen with Alt Enter make sure you give it a resolution 800600, which works pretty well. Output mode instead of surface, let's change that to openg GL, as the other option also works fine.

Setting the Aspect Ratio Correction

Under here, we set that to true and put the Scala to normal 3x, which will make sure that the image is not stretched horizontally but is in a proper authentic 4x3 aspect ratio. The processor has a cycle speed of Maximum, which is a little bit high for this game from the 386 486 era, so I recommend something around the 10,000 that should do the job and Cycle Up Cycle down, just means how much how much it goes up or down when you press contr f11 contrl f112.

Changing the Samp Rate for the Mixer

We're going to change uh the samp rate for the mixer to 48,000 as well as for the Sound Blaster. To improve the music this game supports uh Roland mt32, we're going to use the M emulator so after you've installed month and you've loaded uh the ROMs under the ROM configuration menu, we need to set the midi config to whatever midi device number um Mont has on your system and to do that, you go into your dosbox folder run dosbox type in mixer SL list midi so these are all the midi devices I've got and number four is my month emulator so I go back here and number four goes in there and that's it for dosbox config file.

Closing the Dosbox Config File

We can close that but there's one more thing we need to do, we need to tell the game not to use a sound blaster but Roland md32 instead. So under the Star Trek folder is a launch settings program so we just run that press enter press enter press enter change that to Roland Sound Blaster and enter, and that's it, we can tweak the game uh twe sorry, game has been tweaked, let's run it and make sure everything works fine.

The Game Runs Smoothly with Tweaks

So this takes a little bit longer cuz we've changed the cycle speed now at this part you also have to wait a little bit longer, because the game sends information to the roll mt32 basically uh programming it and that just takes a little bit while some games do this faster than others, this is one of the slower games Space The Final Frontier These Are the Voyages of the Starship Enterprise, its mission to explore demon War though the Enterprise's primary mission is peaceful exploration the Galaxy holds many surprises be prepared we are conducting a mock battle the USS Republic Captain Patterson reports the Republic is in position so that's all working fine, we've got a nice big picture we've got R M 32 music everything is good to go, so we're going to quit that and that's it for this video.

click adventure Style Elements in it and apparently it's very good I've never played it I'm really looking forward to uh playing this properly um but as usual we can improve the graphics and the sound a little bit so we're just going to run the game and have a look how it plays out of the box so we can see that the screen is a little bit small just uh just as as as normal the music is definitely FM synthesis uh AKA Sound Blaster the Enterprise's primary mission is Captain patter report speech is working fine controls with the mouse working fine okay all righty let's quit that game and let's start yes quck the game tweaking it all right let's minimize that so we go to our uh g game folder of the game and open this configuration file here and let's start tweaking full screen resolution set that to your native resolution of your monitor window resolution if you want to play in the window or toggle between full screen and window screen with Alt Enter make sure you give it a resolution 800600 works pretty pretty good output mode instead of surface let's change that to openg GL the other option you can use is um direct draw up here that also works fine then under here aspect ratio correction we set that to true and we put the Scala to normal 3x that'll make sure that the image is not stretched horizontally but is in a proper authentic 4x3 aspect ratio the processor has a cycle

how much it goes up or down when you press contr f11 contrl f112 you shouldn't be a shouldn't really have a need to do that but in case you want to these are more appropriate then we're going to change uh the samp rate for the mixer to 48,000 and also for the Sound Blaster to 48,000 and to improve the music this game supports uh Rolland mt32 we're going to use the M emulator so after you've
