VDMSound had memory problems, and DOSbox was too slow even with increased cycles. It's not the first time I've set MoM up, I just want to spend too much time on it today.
I've got other things to do. Yesterday it was Albion (got out of the first island), today it was Master of Orion (I was beaten after the Darloks were voted to lead the New Republic, and my Psilons eventually lost the war).
