HMM I DON'T KNOW maybe those ctrl-f11 and f12 keys that dosbox tells you about on startup!!!!

Not working. And use minimal speed in options of the game, not working too((

Could we start off with you posting at least the dosbox version+configuration and system specs, please?

Latest version 0.72 DOSBox
Win XP Prof + SP3
Core2Duo 6600-2.4GHz
Memory 2GB
MB-Asus P5B
Video-nVIDIA GF 8800 GTS 512MB
Sound-Analog Devices AD1988 @ Intel 82801HB ICH8 - High Definition Audio Controller [B-0]

Start with a clean dosbox.conf, then set cycles=2000 and see if it changes
anything (game speed should be slower).

Those don't work with the default Dosbox screen since auto & max aren't affected by them.

Try a normal core and 10000 cycles, then adjust the cycles up or down in 1000 increments and find the sweet-spot. I may dig the games out and get you a config if I get time.

to Sephiroth - It willbe cool)
At 2000-dialoges more faster then with Auto cycles( And game have a huge lags.

I think here need's something else.
At random cycle's from 1000 to 10000-50000 the speed of displaying dialoges same.
But speed between click's and displaying dialoges different.

I don't recall the system requirements for those games off the top of my head. If you post the requirements I can get you a decent config.

since auto & max aren't affected by them.

Sideremark: it does 😀

Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness CD's original requirements:

MS-DOS 5.0 or Windows 3.1 or greater
386/25 minimum, 486/25 recommended
2x CD-ROM
4 MB RAM
1 MB Hard drive space minimum, 25 MB recommended
VGA
16 bit sound card recommended
Mouse

the speed of displaying dialoges same.
But speed between click's and displaying dialoges different.

The time how long the dialogs are displayed is too short, right?
Check some of the game's options, there might be some possibility
to have them displayed longer.

With those specs you should be running between 5000 cycles and 10000 cycles. Since the cycles are that low you can also use the normal core. That is what I would recommend, as well as going overboard and offering it 8MB of RAM since it needs a minimum of 4MB. That should make it run nicely.

Also, the range of cycles I gave is a starting point. Adjust the cycles up or down while in-game using CTRL+F11 and CTRL+F12 as needed to make it run smoothly.

to wd - nop. There no any options for this. Only speed of moving a player.

i'm tried use this help » http://tawmis.com/collector/Games/QuestForGlo … fG4&DOSBox.html
but patches don't help with this problem.
core=normal
cycles=10000
cycleup=1000
cycledown=1000
didn't work too

Then you probably have the game configured wrong or something. I'll see if I can find my copy when I get some free time and test it.

Quest for Glory 4 has a speech pack (resource.aud) which needs to be correctly pointed at by resource.cfg.

If you have the file, then you should put it in the same directory as the game and modify your resource.cfg to reflect that - change the line to "resAUD = .\" without the quotes.

If you don't have the file then you need to turn off speech, which as far as I know has to be done from the in-game menu. Go to the save/load menu, and turn off the "audio" option.

What's happening is that the game thinks you have the speech pack, and so is trying to reference that every time it brings up a dialogue box. Ordinarily it waits until the narrator has finished talking, but since you don't have it set up correctly there's no sound to wait for. Thus, speedy text.

I hope that helps. 😀

Barbecued Jjack has it. CD games need to have the CD mounted, too. The resource.aud file is left on the CD by the installer and is accessed from the CD by the game. Much of the timing in the game is based on this file. If this is a downloaded version that did not come with this file, you will need to buy a legitimate copy. If you have your CD, you can try my new installer for the game on this page: New Installers for Sierra Games.

U are the best 😀 Thank you)
