Com'on guys! Help me out! 😦

So how desperate are you already?

The D3D version works fine with XP.

Hell, I'm willing to pay for a working remedy/patch (but please no DOSbox solutions, I'm not that desperate yet! )

What does being desperate have to do with it?

The DOS version of Dungeon Keeper works fine in DosBox.

1. Execute DosBox.
2. Mount your HD and DK CD.
3. Install DK.
4. Play DK.

Also, How can I slow the game speed (If I ever managed to make it work?)

I haven't had any issues with speed in DK. If there are any then they would be solved by using DosBox.

Because I refuse the idea of using an emulator for a win95 game! it's not as practical as double click on the game icon! (Yeah I'm lazy! 😀)

But I suppose I'll try out DOSBox eventually, I just want to know how you guys succeed in playing the game on Vista without DOSBox?

Share the wealth!

We install DOSBox, configure the game, create a shortcut, and double-click on it to play.

Some among use a frontend for all this, one that will even create the shortcut for you.

Too bad that you are too lazy to do this.

Can you provide me with the links for these frontend/software please? 😁

edit: I'm not lazy! I'm just looking for the *right* way to do it! 😠

And why everybody here is grouchy? 😳

Well, MiniMax is MiniMax. But not all are grouchy.

If you want to get technical there is is no "right" way to do it (unless you run the game on the OS it was designed to run on). Dungeon Keeper is a DOS/Windows 95 game. It was never designed to run on operating systems newer than those two.

So using DosBox to play the game is no more right or wrong that trying to play the Windows 95 version on Windows Vista.

I haven't tried the Windows version of Dungeon Keeper on Windows Vista 32bit yet. I do know that on Windows Vista 64bit it will not install due to the game having a 16bit installer.

I do know that if you play the Windows version under Windows XP then you have to apply Windows 95 Compatibility mode to the game to get it to work. This is likely the same with Windows Vista 32bit.

And why everybody here is grouchy?

Because we're tired of people making DosBox out to be some big hassle to use when it's not. People think it's Rocket Science when even Rocket Science isn't Rocket Science.

Just one thing guys: What is the best frontends for DOSBox at the moment? and can I create different shortcuts for my games through the frontend?

There's no "best" frontend. And if you want to just play dungeon keeper,
just set up a mounting in the [autoexec]-section without any frontend.

Ok let's rephrase my previous reply:

Please name me a frontend that's easy to maintain, have the ability to add new games easily, list the games in a nice and fashionable way, do all the little details for you and also support old games with Voodoo 3dfx without hassles!

.. and it should gives great blowjobs! 🤣

Com'on guys! I'm a n00b at this .. share t3h wealth! 😵

and also support old games with Voodoo 3dfx without hassles!

Sure, and clean the dishes etc.

Maybe just try a few frontends, it's not THAT hard downloading them and looking at it.

I think they all do what your describe. They mostly differ in interface design, and compatibility with multiple OS's.

The most popular ones are D.O.G., DBGL, and DFEND Reloaded.

DOSShell is the easiest frontend to DosBox. and yes the name is the same as the old GUI to MS Dos.

But please check out my other link too.

If I am a bit grouchy, it is because you *do* come across as being lazy, like asking for information about frontends without bothering to do some research yourself.

Thanks guys for all the links! 😀

For the record, I usually ask people for reviews before trying a new software/emulator to prevent any critical errors or harm my system in the process.

It's smart to ask people *before* jumping on trying new software that *may* harm your PC

Thanks again for the help anyway!

FYI, I use DBGL, mainly because it is cross-platform, and because I found DOG confusing.

Hi guys,

I've downloaded the latest version of DOSBox and D-Fend Frontend and while the game starts normally, it will always showed that Red CD with a question mark on it!

I have the original CD of the game but it won't work! I also tried install & play it directly from the HDD and it didn't work either!

I'm sure that there's no problem with the DOSBox or the frontend (tried other games with no problems) so I think it may have to do with a file within the game!

Please help? 😖
