KQ Collection Series: KQ 5+6+7 No Music or Sound Effects
Posted: Wed Aug 14, 2013 12:20 am
by Lounge Lizard
I recently got the KQ Collection Series, and installed it via the SHP DOSBox installer. It worked well at first, but then KQ 5+6+7 couldn't play any music. I did notice in the log that the installer had problems getting everything read off the disk because of space (the same with the LSL UPP installer) even though I still have a lot of space, and I'm beginning to wonder if it's because the installers are more compatible with earlier versions of DOSBox then DOSBox 0.74. I reinstalled the collection but it still can't play music. The first four KQ games play their music and sound just fine. I tried to configure the DOSBox settings of the games, but I couldn't find any configuration text for music or sound. What is the problem?

Each these claims that DOSBox is not installed in Program Files, which is not true, because DOSBox 0.74 is right there. So, do I need to rename by DOSBox files to just plain DOSBox so that the damn installers would recognize that DOSBox is indeed installed?

If the games start, ignore the warning about DOSBox not being where it is expected. The diagnostic is a bit outdated. The installers will allow you to choose a different location, but the diagnostic expects it to be in "%ProgramFiles%\DOSBox\".
Nothing seems to be misconfigured nor are any files missing that would affect MIDI. Can you hear MIDI files when you play them?

How do I play the MIDI files? I can't seem to find them.

Look in the Media folder under Windows.

The media folder just has sounds connected to Windows functions. None of KQ's music transferred there.

That was not what I was indicating. The no music is probably an issue with your system. I just wanted to know if you can hear MIDI files when you play them in media player.

I solved the problem. The music finally plays just fine when I configured the games to run on Open Gl. Mouse is a little slow, but at least I'm playing the games all right. Thanks for helping me, Collector.
