I wanted to send this to support, but the support form keeps insisting that I type in my system configureation although i already did that. That's why I'm posting here instead, I hope it reaches the right people eventually.
Hello
When playing the Mac version of Pinball Illusions the music stops playing during the "special missions". This has ben a problem with the Windows version as well, but a recent update added the missing CD audio back into the game (I tested it on Windows, the music plays properly). It appears the drive doesn't get mounted properly; in the Windows version I found this line:
imgmount D "..\Illusions\game.inst" -t iso
whereas in the Mac version it mounts game.gog instead. game.inst has reference to game.gog and it also holds information about music tracks (game.inst can be read in a plain text editor).
Similarly, there is missing Music in Pinball Dreams Deluxe as well. I'm not sure about Pinball illusions though. Another problem is that Pinball Illusions asks for the sound card when launched the first time, it hasn't been pre-configured.
Also, it's impossible to access the game options for Pinball Illusions in the Mac version, because they are not available in game, one needs to launch illusion.bat with the "/o" argument (I mean the game options like amount of balls and scrolling speed, not sound card options, on Windows there is a shortcut for that). Pinball Dreams and Pinball Fantasies have their options in-game, so there is no need for that.
If you want I can help tracking down the issue, I am quite familiar with Boxer.
