I've read that the Kings Quest are able to be played through DOSbox, and I have v. 0.61. At this point, I don't know what I'm doing wrong and could use some help.
I mount both C: and E:, which is my CD-Rom, successfully.
After navigating to the install, I get through that mostly until the end where it says it can't locate two or three RESOURCE files. It lets me click through that, then says the installation is done. When I go to run KQ6cd, it says the video driver cannot be installed.
And that's where I'm at right now.
Anybody have a clue?
Thanks.

Did you try searching for KQ6 or King Quest?

I found this King's Quest 6 installation help please!

Oh - and do upgrade to DOSBox 0.63.

Sorry about that, I forgot I'd posted about this awhile back.

Anyway, would somebody be willing to walk me through this problem? I'm pretty sure I've done it right, its just not finding these Resource files.

The resource files are on the cd. Copy them to the \sierra\kq6cd directory yourself.

Ok, sweet I got it working. Now, one more thing: I looked all over, including the readme about configuring DOSBox, but can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I want to be able to open up DOSBox and have my c: and e: drives already mounted and be able to get straight into the game. How do I go about saving these settings on exit?
Thanks.
