@Mordakai95 I always use OBS to record anything, but I remember fraps working best with Machines many years ago on WinXP.

EDIT: After some more testing I got CUE/BIN format working with Daemon Tools Lite (other programs and formats might work too) - to get Machines to play the music from a virtual CD, make sure the virtual disc drive has a drive letter before any existing physical disc drives.
Example setup:
C:\ System HDD
D:\ DVD-RW drive
E::\ Storage HDDHere you would need to set the virtual drive letter to either A: or B: - some virtual drive software doesn't allow you to set this, but you can use Windows Disk Management to change the drive letter externally.
Couldn't make it work :(
The music regulator in the audio console (options menu) goes back to 0/none as soon as I get out of said menu, whether from the main menu or in-game. -

Ismachines.exeset to run in a compatibility mode? If so, try unchecking that option (right-click onmachines.exe→ "Properties" → "Compatibility" tab).
So far this is the only thing I've found that causes the music volume slider to reset to 0 - at least on Windows 7.(hopefully compatibility modes aren't required for the game to run on Windows 10...)
Running as an administrator could help, in case a user permission is preventing the game from reading/writing settings to the registry.

Pink! Pink everywhere! I'll try afterwards if it works without those pink squares with other configurations, but the music slider is not at 0 anymore (it's at maximum volume) :)

I'll have to test it again next time I get access to a PC with Windows 10 installed, but I remember dgVoodoo 2 fixing similar graphical issues last time I tried it - do you still have it installed?EDIT: andreasaspenberg claimed that the options menu causes pink squares (even with dgVoodoo) on their AMD graphics card, and that avoiding the options menu avoids the problem - don't know if that would apply to you (or if it's reliable info), but thought I'd mention it just in case.
I don't have any AMD graphics cards to test things with. -

I don't have any AMD graphics cards to test things with.Yes, I still have it installed (and it works perfectly).
I noticed that it happened after going to the options menu, but didn't verify it. I'll play for longer periods of time and see what happens.
Thank you!
UPDATE:
After some extended gameplay, there's still no music for me :( -
@Pisarz
The CUE / BIN files you're using - were they• converted directly from a CD2 ISO (or other format) file - (won't work as far as I know)
• downloaded from somewhere - (reliability depends on the original creator)
• created from a physical CD2
• made using these instructions (using the Machines Disk 2 ISO and soundtrack files from this site)
?
Once music is working you should be able to hear it almost immediately after launching the game - music should play over the first loading screen, logo videos, and in the main menu.

@M123
I think it is the first item. I have not tried the last one.
All I did was downloading the files from this forum in the section dedicated to the game itself (the one that appears on the main page).
Maybe I downloaded an incomplete version. Or maybe I missed a step.
I'll try to follow the instructions from the last item and see what happens.
Again, thank you! -

Until someone updates the downloads with disk images in a format that supports CD audio, the instructions I posted are the only way I know of to get working music using the files available here.
(another possibility might be to use the soundtrack files in conjunction with an audio wrapper like _inmm.dll or ogg-winmm)
I'll try to follow the instructions from the last item and see what happens.
Good luck, hope it works for you.

Hi, I'm just wondering if you've made any of the let's play videos yet. It's been a couple of weeks, so I thought I'd revive the post.

I went ahead and dug up my Alcohol 120% clones of the disks and added them to the download post. Hopefully this helps some people. :)
