I think the keymapper is backwards and confusing. It's not backwards and if you're too stupid to use it then don't use it. The more intuitive way to do it is so that clicking on a key and then changing the value for it would have it use the set value when pressing that key. That's how every other …

You need to mount it so that both games are accessible. Like: mount c C:\dosgames when Darksun 1 is path C:\dosgames\darksun and Darksun 2 is C:\dosgames\ravager Then the paths in DOSBox will be c:\darksun c:\ravager You could also mount both directories. Keep your normal mount and have the first …

Why the need for complicated stuff? The game should come in a preinstalled state. Just include a script file for Nix, Mac, and Windows directed to open DOSBox with the included config file named say GameA-DOSBox-0.73 and GameA-Setup-DOSBox-0.73 if needed. Direct them to the DOSBox site to download …

I was going off of a doc from the patch that must have been talking about the RGB monitor color. The patch stays true yet looks better than any other version.

The PC version is 4 color CGA. You can apply a patch that changes it to 16 color EGA based on the Apple II release. (I think the early Ultimas suck horribly.)

More information about what is in your autoexec.bat and config.sys could be important to help trim out use less garbage. Also post the output of mem/c/p. Can't you use a boot disk? Like suggested, load doskey only when you need it. You complain about memory but waste it. Optical drives aren't needed …

Duplicating items is easily done in game by saving a character, transferring items from that character, removing the character, and then adding the character back.

Windows XP 32-bit. (I have no problems wihen mounting only a single cd-rom drive.) Edit: Sorry, this seems like it is likely a game (Darksun: Wake of the Ravager) issue since I dug out an extra cd-rom drive and attached it to my Win98SE machine and the drive wouldn't play the audio. This might …

I can't get cd-rom audio to play when I have two separate devices mounted or one device mounted to two different letters. Is this a bug, something purposely left out, or some error on my part?

The windows key is extremely easy to hit and will cause you to switch out of full screen applications. I'll use alt+ and ctrl+ for hotkeys and it is right in between them. I've removed the key several times.

so the "only" problem remaining would be the fact that the sound pops if you switch away from DOSBox ? Just don't do that ? Not for Wizardry 7. That game pops after every sfx but doesn't seem to be related to PC speaker emulation shutoff. All sfx options (SB, Adlib, etc) are mangled in DOSBox for …
