Is the Vista PC a different PC to your XP one, or did you install Vista replacing your XP install on the same machine? - Spike
Re: Lost in Time 0.65 update
Posted on 2007-03-19, 14:48
I'm having the exact same problem in DOSBox 0.70. I wonder if rolling back to 0.60/1/2 would help, since some people claimed they got it working fine in it years ago. (Although, the game technically loads fine, it just hangs at this Jarlath sequence). I wonder why making an image would help.. Still, …

Well, you (Dominus) are generalising. I pretty much agree with the sentiments of avatar and Hazekel. Although I agree about those sorts of posts (see later) I've had this discussion at my forums before (I run the Sierra music website, Sierra Music Central). My personal view is pretty controversial …

Re: Sierra compilations confirmed!

Yeah, so do I. Never seen that before! Anyways, it's much of a muchness. Point is, you'd be pretty stupid to buy these packs generally speaking, and more so if all you wanted was KQ6 WIN. I would suggest they'd put something widely used like DOSBOX over FreeDOS, but regardless, it "ain't gonna be …
Re: SCI0 problems
Posted on 2006-02-26, 09:53
Updating, I'm pretty sure I was wrong back then. Windows music ISN'T too fast. God knows what I was on back then (there is a Sierra WIN music error, though, but that's another story). However Speedset does nothing when used with later SCI1 games, as I posted years ago. SQ6, KQ7, GK1, QFG4, etc etc …
Re: Space Quest 6 problem
Posted on 2006-02-26, 09:48
We've been there and done this before. I've tried gettign this fixed for years. The simple fact is Speedset does nothing for later SCI1/SCI32/VESA games, LSL6 CD and beyond. Works for KQ6CD, about the last one it works for. It certainly doesn't for QFG4, and SQ6 and such. I've never got a straight …

"File Size: 7.82 MB" Sure is the disk version. Incidentally, I'm certainly pro-abandonware, but that link is still there, DosFreak.. - Spike

According to NewRisingSun, the "hi-res" versions in KQ6 Windows are "butt-ugly", so I wonder if that's valid.. And, this is disgraceful. Right up there with 3DRealms saying "don't write negative things about us". 20 bucks is hardly a king's ransom? Sure is a lot to pay for games not made by …
Re: The hatred of DosBox
Posted on 2005-12-13, 18:38
I have to confess, that although I run a Sierra-music based website I actually don't use DOSBOX. But it's only *partially* laziness and that I don't quite get everything about it, it's mainly that I have both a Windows 95 PC and that most Sierra games will run fine (in XP) without DOSBOX. However I …
Re: A REALLY weird problem concering sound cards
Posted on 2005-07-31, 07:41
I'd just like to point out that this old topic is still relevant. I dug out Boppin' yesterday and tried it. Works fine under XP normally (except music problems, obviously scratchy digital audio and slightly wonky MIDI) but crashes in VDM Sound (well, just pauses) when a piece of Sound Blaster …

Like I said, "General MIDI tones". Not a GM complete list. But it had *some*. - Spike

The CM-32P had General MIDI tones, didn't it? - Spike

Ah! I'm confusing CM-32L with CM-32P as I always do. Thanks 😀 - Spike
Re: A silly and dumb question

It's still roughly the 'MT-32 on a card'. That is accepted fact. (Besides, the LAPC-1 has NO CM GM tones apart from a few SFX!) And it certainly doesn't change the fact that the MT-32 is not a sound card.. - Spike
Re: Speedset instructions

Have speedset.exe and other relevant DLL's etc in your game folder, make a batch file in the same folder (in Notepad for example), put the text 'speedset '. Run the batch file with VDM Sound. - Spike
Re: A silly and dumb question

The 'MT-32' was a sound module, not a card. Thanks (in part) to Ken Williams a sound card version of the MT-32 (the LAPC-I) was created. - Spike

What's the 'correct MT-32 SysEx interpretation'? How can it recieve all patches and assign them all correctly? This is the big conundrum that leaves scepticism in the major players in the Sierra music community, if you could give me a bit more to go on than 'she'll be right' I would be relieved. :) …
