Girigiri animation problems

[The Captain]

Hey. I've been messing with the GAMES.DAT file a bit trying to get Iron Storm to work right. The game plays okay, but the spinning globe with the events doesn't show up at all, the battle animation doesn't work right and the sound effects are nothing but long high pitched squeals (the music is fine though). Does anybody know if I can do something to fix this or if it's a limitation of the emulator? Also, I get some sort of error message about direct sound when I start it up, but I don't know what it means.

If you are getting a Direct Sound error that is some sort of problem. Try uninstalling and re-installing your sound drivers, and re-installing DirectX and see if that helps.

Seriously thanks, man! That took care of the error message and it runs noticeably faster now. The sound effects are still high pitched squeals, but at least they're slightly less annoying now. :)
