New Autorun for GK1

Post by Collector »

While experimenting with the installer for GK1, I made an Autorun for the game. If there is any interest in repackaging your games with new installers, I might make a few Autoplays for them.

Hi Collector,

I'm new to the forum, but I have a quick question. I love the download I got from this site, but I have a very insignificant problem.

Everything works fine- the audio is fine, the gameplay is fine, the speech works, the music works, and I'm running Vista. The only minor problem that I have is that I can't seem to figure out how to get the High Resolution graphics to work with your install.

I managed to get the game running through DOSBox with high resolution by mounting my E drive and running the game through that, but it stops frequently to load from the CD, and it's pretty annoying.

So, is there any way to get high resolution graphics along with the CD speech through your download? I'm interested in getting this to work...

Thanks for everything. Playing the classics on modern machines is TOUGH.

Welcome to the forums. Check the RESOURCE.CFG to be sure that the video driver is set to VESA. There may be some issues with the latest DOSBox and my installers. I am redoing them to make sure that they are compatible with the latest DOSBox. Check the dosbox.conf to see what machine type is there and post what you have.

Edit, if you can't wait for the new version, unzip this
GK1.zip

into the game's folder and run Conf.exe.

[DOSBox]
machine= svga_s3

I guess that's what I'm running?

Alright, so I finally realized what you meant by editing the resource.cfg file to VESA instead of the other one... I got it working 2 minutes later.

Thanks for all your help! It works great!
