So I bought HoMM 2 to finally play it, as I have never played it before, but have good memories of HoMM 1.

I installed the DOS version setup_homm2_gold_2.0.0.24.exe and then the patch patch_homm2_the_succession_wars_tracks.exe

Installation was under Linux with wine, and it runs very well, was just playing on a map. But I am not sure if the music patch has been successful or not, even though the installer said it was.

If I start a game with Sorceress and go to the town, I can hear:

Should it be as above or should the background sound be:

I could like to play with the original OST and would like to know if it is indeed setup correctly.

I explained in my forum post here how to choose your in-game town musics (soundtracks) in HoMM 2.
