I just picked up the original Myst and installed it under dosbox / WfW 3.11, and it mostly works. However, none of the videos play. It seems to be a quicktime problem, as discussed in these previous threads (both are pretty old, so I thought it'd be better to start a new thread):
Win3.11 - Unable to load the QuickTime component, QCMC.QTC
Quicktime Movie Player for Windows 2.0x Fails to Work in Win 3.1 in DOSBox
Unfortunately, none of the proposed solutions work for me. I tried installing Quicktime 2.1.2 as suggested, and while the intro animated Broderbund plays after this, still none of the rest of the videos will play. I tried (guessing) restoring some of the original quicktime DLLs and QTCs in the game directory, but that just resulted in various error messages (which is guess is not that unexpected).
I'm out of ideas at this point. It seems like this should be possible, and at least one person seems to have specifically mentioned getting Myst working properly, but I really haven't had much luck.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
