I have somehow merged my Champions of Krynn version I had (1.0) with the one from the Underdogs (1.2) and managed to get it to work under DOSBox. What a crappy programming.

OK. For Champions of Krynn, i went to the game directory (on your hard disk) and type in: SUBST A: . - This way you will assign the current directory as drive A: - The game now allow me to create characters, add them to party and even save and load games, but as soon as i press BEGING ADVENTURING, i …

OK. Are you sure your Menzoberranzan installation is correct? I have played (and finished) it under Windows XP. I think I used VDMSound, though, but it worked under DOSBox too (for me). Please, keep us posted on how it goes. PS - I think I have Champions of Krynn lying somewhere (not sure, though). …

#1 - Did you use the SEARCH feature of the forum? #2 - Did you use the SEARCH feature of the forum? #3 - You need the code wheel that came with the game (or a crack). Cracks are illegal and are not endorsed here, you know. 😈

It seems you forgot to provide a valid LABEL. Try it on the cdrom statement. mount D r:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0 -aspi -label

IIRC the CGA on the AMSTRAD PC1512 had some weird 16c graphic mode. 😕 Some very old INFOGRAMES games had an option to use it.

Jim, if you are running Windows XP, check the services list. Run services.msc and look if "extractable storage devices" (roughly translated from Spanish) is enabled and running. I am not totally sure if it will make a difference or not, but no hurt in trying.

I remember to have run it under Windows XP without problems and without doing anything fancy. Have the CD somewhere.

Hello, gentlemen. I have always had a lot of problems playing some BINK videos. Crappy codec if you ask me. I remember one strange issue: Bink would play properly if "AGP fast writes" was turned on in bios. What gives? Microsoft argued that it was a bug in direct-x 9.0b but now I am not that sure. …

(A little offtopic) Snover. Do you know by chance some URL where those on-board cards are reviewed? I mean, some sort of comparison chart, because I know everyone of them is different and newer nVIDIA based boards have on-board audio that is supposed not to be too bad. Good day.

Tested my copy. Built using Turbo C++ 3.0 - It works quite well under DOSBox except for the digitised sound. The other sounds are just awful. It runs like shit under a regular CMD.EXE window, btw (big timing issues because of digitised sound routines). So your best bet is to use DOSBox. 😎

Do you mean that old russian game where you drove a frog? It had digitised pc speaker sounds (and voices) and used Borland's BGI libraries for graphics. Probably built using Turbo Pascal. I remember that it was a bitch to run outside real ms-dos, though. There is little chance that digitised …
Re: DOSbox Adlib sound regression?
Posted on 2004-12-05, 11:50
Sound blaster cards took the market by storm and buried the then obsolete ADLIB cards (which were older and had less capabilities). Anyway, ADLIB gold was a fairly decent card but came out too late and didn't catch up with market status.
Re: DOSbox Adlib sound regression?
Posted on 2004-12-05, 11:39
ADLIB cards were one of the first ones featuring FM Synthesis to produce sound (mostly using OPL chips developed by Yamaha). When ADLIB came out, it used a Yamaha OPL-2 chip (which had just mono capabilities for FM music, I think). Later (and modern) cards like the ADLIB GOLD you mention (and newer …
