To mount the CD write mount d e:\ -t cdrom.

You can get the latest csdpmi*b.zip here (it's near the bottom in the csdpmi5b.zip file). Just unpack the cwsdpmi.exe file in there and place it into the same directory as the game in question.

Allright, cool I tried the cwsdpmi.exe thing and it worked.

Now when i was trying to follow some guide it says

#

# Configure sound, configure graphics, ...

A safe bet with configuring sound, is to select General MIDI or SoundBlaster. Don't try stuff like Gravis Ultrasound (GUS) or Adlib. If you are asked about details like IO/IRQ/DMA/High DMA addresses when configuring the game to use SoundBlaster for sound, use IO = 220, IRQ = 7, DMA = 1 (and sometimes High DMA = 5).

# Start the game.

Okay, i can configure sound, i choose soundblaster, i can do that, no problem.

but when i press " exit setup " it says " shutting down allegro "

What is that? How come i cannot start the game? What do i do to start the game?

THanks!
Master of orion

Allegro??? Isn't that another cross-platform graphics library? What is that doing with Quest of Glory? Is this the real QoG or some port?

I bet that he has QfG 4 1/2, a fan made game of questionable repute.

Yeah, you are right.
I am just gonna use the cd version of this game now, i have some cd with the first 4 games on it.
but i have little problem with installing the game.

before i install it, it says " this program will specify what type of hardware is installed to your machine. You must run it once before playing your Sierra game. "

OKay no proble, i push enter, to begin installation.

Next step i choose hardware, and i choose C drive of course.

and then i have to select music, audio and directory

I choose

Music : soundblaster / AdLid card (for compatibles)

Audio : Sound blaster

directory : C:/sierra/qganth/qg4cd

Then i say " accept these choises and start installation , but then i can choose tiny or full version, i choose full version (20 mb)

but then it says " Play shadow of darkness now [enter]

and also To play shadow of darkness later [enter]

and it says on the botton " press any key to continue "

I dont get this part, but i just pressed enter and i have also press any key, and then it says

" If you have not sent in your Sierra Warranty registration card, please take a moment now, fill it and send it "

What is that? What do you think i should do about this?

Nothing. It simply tells you how to start the game from the DOS prompt (not something you can do inside the installer, it is merely informative). It then tells you to press any key to continue the installation (which is complete, so this gives you a message about the registration card and then ends the installation program).

Yeah, i did that. and then everything crash up, like i go back to the normal menu, but everything fucks up, i cant do anything else than close it.
Just wondering what to do 😖

Weird. I just tried installing and it works fine. I've taken some snaps of the installation procedure. Check it out and let us know which parts are different.

Yea, i have some purple version of qfg, with the first 4 games on it.

but here is pictures of what i do, and how this fucks up

and then the sucky parts come here

this is really weird 😖

Ah, that looks to be the Anthology menu that wraps the installer. The installation was probably successful. Try starting DOSBox again, but don't run the installer. (the D: and setup parts) instead, type "c:", "cd\sierra\cganth\qg4cd", "qg4cd". That should start the game.

With the Sierra collections it is usually best to simply copy the individual games' folders to the HDD and run the game installers separately, not the collections' installers.

This happend when i do this

Pretty weird, i must say. Am i doing something wrong maybe?

Yeah, you copied my typo. It's "qganth", not "cganth". Basically, do what it says in your own screenshot, number 7, under "To play Shadows of Darkness later".

Allright, this works now!
Thanks alot man, you helped me alot and thanks everyone!

But im wondering if i wanna start the game, do i have to write all this " mount " thing over again? and also the colours are little bit fucked up, but i can survived that i guess

Thanks again!

[autoexec] of dosbox.conf

You'd have to mount, yes. You can also put the mount lines in the [autoexec] section of dosbox.conf.

Yeah, it craps the Windows menu when installing them in Windows... 😠
