I'm a bit confused but pretty much satisfied with the performance I've gotten. By the way dougdahl thanks for responding, but yeah it just slowed down. It turns out at 30,000 cycles the in-game animations are fine and the sound isn't choppy as it gets at higher cycles than that. I had been testing …

When I run kq7 in dosbox its pretty choppy in the animations. The load game screen takes a long time to fade in also. My core is on dynamic and I run on full-screen. Raising the cycles would theoretically fix it but it would be much higher than I can run. 50000 was my limit and the choppiness was …

Wow people I'm really sorry on wasting time, the midi was muted on volume control. I'll probably start a new thread in the dosbox section about getting the game not to be so choppy after I do some research to see if I can't fix it me-self.

I think it has to do with my general midi. Even though I can play .mid files, I can't seem to access either of my soundcards' library through a player or something like that. I went on the desktop and it played the game and midi fine, but that was an audigy 2 zs which has its GM library available …

No luck. I was extra careful in copying over the files from the cd and downloaded the zip file with the files already manipulated instead of doing it myself. Neither vdmsound or dosbox got the midi. Actually vdms did the strange screen distortion again, I thought that it would be normal again after …

I'll try that today, I have a feeling you're right.

Kq7 in XP problems That was my original problem with getting the game to run at all. I finally got it going and with genmidi working as you can see from the solution I say thank you to.

Yes resource.cfg is in the directory. I hadn't tried either vdmsound or dosbox using the cd because I had copied all the files over from the cd into the directory. I tried dosbox, mounted the cd drive with ioctl support and put it in fullscreen. The ingame animations were pretty choppy and the load …

Yes my resource.cfg has the GENMIDI.DRV change. I went to a midi site and was able to listen to a .mid file.

I can't get the MIDI music to play while I'm playing the game. I made the Resource.cfg changes, made the bat file, and using VDMsound the game plays smoothly and the wav files play fine. I just can't get the MIDI to work. Any ideas?

Thank you so much! I can't believe it finally worked! Thanks so much for your time.

Still nothing. I tried just moving everything in the kq7 folder on the cd into the hard drive directory and only replacing files that were bigger than the old ones. So resource.000 got replaced by the full and all the other resources got copied along with some install files. I tried accessing the …

I thought that's what you might have wanted me to do also but you hadn't mentioned anything. I give it a try.

I still get the 999.pal resource error on the sierra.exe with dosbox, and with the file on compatibility mode with VDMsound. Not only this but now I get 999.pal resource error with kq7.bat file while on compatibility mode with VDMsound. I did not use to get that error on the .bat file (look at first …

Unfortunately I had this problem too with 2 or 3 scenes when I played through the game. Unfortunately the only thing that worked for me was saving right before the act and then just restarting the game until the cutscene went all the way through. Are you playing with a no cd patch?

After a dos installation at a full 100 megs on the hard drive, I checked the resource.cfg file and this is what was written: videoDrv = VESA.DRV soundDrv = ADL.DRV audioDrv = DACBLAST.DRV joyDrv = NO directory = \sierra\kqc\kq7d cmd = KQ7 mouseDrv = NONE memoryDrv = NONE minMemory = 1600k brightness …

First of all I do have Kq7 2 that came with the 3 disk king's quest collection (so it is not an issue of sierraw.exe or sierraws.exe). And yes I do have dosbox and yes I do have VDMsound. I always do the full intstall and my OS is Windows XP home edition. On the windows version I ran it with windows …
