Still cracks me up that my cat's so scared of it, played it for her again (severely overtired and rambling and easily amused tonight) and scared the living shit out of her, she growled at the laptop when she realized that's where the sound was coming from this time, after she hunted around with her fur standing on end. Menu music on laptop speakers, urg.
I have a cat too, and she actually starts swatting at the screen when there's enemies. Music doesn't seem to faze her though, besides the prick-up-the-ears-and-listen thing.

okay,the screeching sound during the logos (before the main menu "music" starts) seems to be a half random thing (maybe my config,whatever).that means SSP works fine under win9x as well,although you will have to live without that fancy launcher (perfectly fine with me,I have no problems setting up few batch files myself)..

Now the screeching sound happens BEFORE the menu? Make up your mind, man!

My cats got over attacking the screen unfortunately, but my youngest loves music; she taps her tail in tune to the beat of certain music. When it comes to SS1's music she does it with the Reactor level music mostly, and sometimes the elevator music too.

to be
absolutely precise,it will,or will not start as soon as the game exe is launched,and as soon as the main menu is loaded,it will either stop,continue or fluently change into the main menu "music".as I said,seems to be a random thing (maybe related to my config),so it should be ignored.its only a very minor annoyance anyway (you dont start a game to enjoy the main menu,right?),so its not worth of further investigation..anyway,if somebody wants to play SSP on a legacy win9x machine like me,(

Tried the SSP v0.8d release -- still having the same problem regarding irritating mouse behavior ((
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1639215#post1639215) see original post)
I've built a desktop computer recently (Intel Core2 Duo E6750, Geforce 8800 GTX, Windows XP Pro SP2q). It can run DOS video mode + Mouse2kv with no problems at all. But if I install SSP and run DGVESA mode, I get the same mouse issue my laptop has.
Maybe DGVESA just doesn't like me...

I updated (
http://www.strangebedfellows.de/index.php?topic=211.0) SSP to version 0.9. This adds DOSbox emulation so you should be able to play it on all sorts of weird windows versions, like Vista and 64bit systems. No other changes have been made.
Of course if you don't have to, using an emulation isn't a good idea performance-wise.
