	:: Your new update looks neat! Good job! However the cdspeed.dat file-trick didn't help. It seems that having sound effects configured to use GUS disables the animated sequences as setting just sound effects back to soundblaster and keeping GUS for music gives animated sequences and GUS-music. I didn't notice any difference in having GUS for sound-effects so that setup is a working workaround. - [[User:Harre\|Harre]] 09:11, 21 August 2013 (EDT)		:: Your new update looks neat! Good job!
