KQ7 and MOE on GoG

I'm beginning to get curious about that one too now... Dang it!!

The OS makes no difference. Any hardware devices that the original installers see are the DOSBox emulated hardware. The default SB in DOSBox is SB16. As long as you are looking into the different sound settings you may be interested in looking into Munt. I have a page here about it, but it is getti...

Working late tonight. Might get a bee in my bonnet and check tonight even though it'll be late. If not, it'll be later in the week. I will also mess around with it a bit more to see what else I can see..

Out of curiosity, what version(s) have you already designed for?

cheers,

Thanks.. So I'll just stick with 1st choice - "General MIDI", 2nd choice - "Sound Blaster Card", whenever one or both of the above is offered given that I'm running DOSBox with a standard WinXP installation, right?

cheers,

Interestingly... no! Haven't spent a lot of time on it-- could be a missed read... install.exe runs fine without it however..

Another question.. I tried to do some searching but "best sound settings" threw out "best" and "sound" because they were too common... :lol: Anyhoo-- in my testing I have mixed up a lot of my resource.cfg settings. As a random example, KQ1 (SCI) has the following sound ...

new soundblaster driver works. :D mixer /listmidi shows only the following: 0 "Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth" However, upon closer inspection (read: my sound settings), I had the MIDI channel muted for some crazy reason. I don't know why! :oops: :oops: :oops: Turning up the volume on the...

Hmmmm... I've been going through and checking all my game installs, and the Floppy version of SQ4 doesn't seem to have sound! I have re-run the included 'install.exe' program to switch between SoundBlaster and General MIDI. Neither seem to work. SoundBlaster gives an "unable to initialize hardw...

A subversion build of ScummVM will play the SCI version. It will probably be officially supported in the very near future. yes, but they're no longer porting to PalmOS... the only reason I was looking for the AGI version to begin with is to play it on my PDA when I'm traveling (yea, I'm a real geek...

The AGI version was sold separately from the SCI, so you would need to provide proof of ownership of AGI to ask. Here is what looks like the AGI version: http://cgi.ebay.com/Sierras-Kings-Quest-IV-4-PC-Big-Box-/280525613901?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item4150a12b4d Just contact him to make sure ...

If I can provide proof of ownership of KQIV (SCI), would it be acceptable to request someone send me KQIV (AGI) ? I checked today and my brother and I apparently purchased the SCI version back when we were young. And later when I bought the 15th anniv. collection it also only has the SCI version.. B...

Qbix is right (not surprisingly, as he is the author of DOSBox). It means that the resolution used when full screen will be the same as the resolution you you have set for your desktop. My mistake was based on a misunderstanding from before I had a widescreen monitor. So what does that mean-- that ...

fullresolution=0x0 means use your current desktop resolution on windows. 1024x768 on non-windows systems. Sorry qbix, I don't understand what that means. I've seen that definition elsewhere. Is Collector's definition above (" The fullresolution=0x0 will prevent screen stretching with full scre...

Thanks for such thorough explanations. Much appreciated!

awesome answer-- thanks!

Need I ask the difference of "overlay" and other display settings and their influence to the game, or should I just stop asking questions and get on with using Collector's installer settings?
