This forum is for the official DOSBox. You should ask who you bought it from for help.

Easy enough to do, but is independent of the style. It is just a matter of adding the BB Code in the ACP.

Done. Thanks for the catch. Most of the patch descriptions are directly from Sierra's old site. In some cases where I did not have that, I used the readmes. There may be some other errors carried over from from Sierra's site.

It should just save it in the game's folder, as long as you have write permissions to that folder. Don't try to browse to another folder. Just give the save a name. BTW, how did you unpack the game? Did the installer work with WINE?

I don't recall encountering the noise in early SCI1 and earlier. On the other hand, I believe that KQ5 (first VGA) is the first one to exhibit the initialization speed bug. The pre SCI1 Sierra SB drivers do not seem to suffer from either bug.
