Getting KQ6 to run in full screen?

Post by FatherGhostface »

I installed the DOSBox update, I've tirelessly configured the games to run in Full Screen over and over, and only KQ1 SCI, KQ4, and KQ5 are able to run in full screen. KQ2, KQ3, and KQ6 don't run in full screen like I'd like them too, no matter how many times I configure them to run in full screen. Why is this? I'm particularly bummed that KQ6 won't run in full screen most of all. :(

Also, while installing the DOSBox update, it installed something called Scummi, and I have NO idea what that is. Do you think this Scummi program might be the reason KQ6 won't run in full screen???

Any help is appreciated.

I see you finally made it here. Welcome. Not Scummi, but ScummVM. This allows the Windows version of KQ6 to be playable on all modern versions of Windows. Run the diagnostic tool and attach the results here.

Are you trying to run the Windows or DOS version?

Are you using the config tool in the folder (Conf.exe)? I just noticed you are missing one of the conf tools. To save you from having to reinstall the patch, unzip this into the KQ6 folder and run Conf.exe for the Windows version and DOSBoxConf.exe for the DOS version. Be sure to select full screen within the tools.
