Look at the RESOURCE.CFG, not the dosbox.conf. but you need change the ".\" with the path to the game's folder.

I installed the game with the installer and changed the batch file like this: "SCIKQ5.exe -h RESOURCE.CFG"
The RESOURCE.CFG file looks like this:
videoDrv = VGA320.DRV
soundDrv = ADL.DRV
audioDrv = AUDBLAST.DRV
joyDrv = NO
kbdDrv = IBMKBD.DRV
mouseDrv = STDMOUSE.DRV
memoryDrv = ARM.DRV
mode = real
minHunk = 206K
directory = \SIERRA\kq5
What I have to change now?

As I said, "audio=" needs to point to the installed folder.
that is not the RESOURCE.CFG that gets installed from the installer from here. you must have overwritten it with the one from the CD.

I think he's saying:
audio=C:\King's Quest V
Or where ever it's installed.
For example if you installed it in:
C:\Tawmis Is Awesome\KQ5
audio=C:\Tawmis Is Awesome\KQ5

From what Collector said, the
RESOURCE.CFG - but as he pointed out, you have done something to overwrite the
KQ Installer; because the copy and paste you provided isn't a RESOURCE.CFG file from the installer that Collector makes.
You may want to uninstall the entire thing. Reinstall using the SHP installer, and then check your RESOURCE.CFG file.

So your game is in C:\SIERRA\KQ5?
If that's the case - perhaps Collector can come here with some more ideas. (He's the master genius - I am merely his henchman!)

Yes, the game is installed in C:\Sierra\KQ5. I copied the cd to this folder. Is that normal that the intro music is in the Windows and in the DOS versions the same? Because that's the music I can hear (and I hear voices)???

Wait. When you say copied - did YOU copy them or did you use the
King's Quest V Installer from Collector's website?

- Install the game into an empty folder using the installer from this page.
- Copy just the *.dll files, SCIKQ5.EXE and "WINRES.CFG" to the installed folder.
- Open "WINRES.CFG" and edit it to
Code: Select all
videoDrv = VGA320.DRV
soundDrv = ADL.DRV
audioDrv = AUDBLAST.DRV
joyDrv = NO
kbdDrv = IBMKBD.DRV
mouseDrv = STDMOUSE.DRV
memoryDrv = ARM.DRV
minHunk = 204K
floppy = YES
minHunk = 170K
audio = .\
audioSize = 8K
- Make a batch file that has
SCIKQ5.EXE -o C:\SIERRA\KQ5\WINRES.CFG
in it, again make sure that the path to your WINRES.CFG is correct.
- Set the batch file to run at 640x480x256 colors.
- Start the game from the batch file.

Is the game installed in C:\Sierra\KQ5Cd? do you have the audio in DOSBox installation?
