I like tinkering and figuring things out. Sometimes there is value in being that kid that takes clocks apart to see how they work. Try the installer and tinker with the installation to see how I did it. I might have to since I’m encountering a weird Sound Blaster bug in DOSBox-Optionals. It’s causi...

Is it possible to play directly from the games' folder and not need the CD for audio? The version used is the King's Quest Collection 2 version if that helps? Yes. That's what Collector was talking about in this post. He has a metric ton of installers for just about every Sierra game - and ye can s...

I have the DOSBox config setup to use SB16/OPL for Audio and VGA/SVGA for Video. Like you said there must be something wrong with the way that RESOURCE.CFG is set up. So you're install options look like this? Image1.png If so - I hear sound on mine. Did you try different settings - just to see if y...

It'd be in the resource.cfg (others more well versed can verify that's where the issue would be if there is one). videoDrv = VGA320.DRV soundDrv=ADL.DRV audioDrv=AUDBLAST.DRV joyDrv = NO kbdDrv = IBMKBD.DRV mouseDrv = STDMOUSE.DRV memoryDrv = NO mode = real minHunk = 206k directory = \SIERRA\KQ5D a...

I was able to get KQ I-IV up and running, now I'm having a problem with KQ V with no Music or Speech in DOSBox-Optionals. I get the Sound FX, but nothing else. What do you all think might be the problem? I've included the KQ5.BAT, Resource.CFG and the Config File for DOSBox-Optionals for analysis. A...

Thank you all for chiming in. The version of KQ IV that I have is an earlier SCI version. It has the JR.DRV that Musically Inspired linked in their post. More than likely not the exact same version, but should work for what I need. I was able to get KQ I-IV working under the config I’ve made, so I n...

I’ve grown to like the way that the Tandy 3-Voice sounds. I do agree that the Roland MT-32 is the way to go for the early Sierra adventures, but the Tandy Sound has a certain uniqueness that I like. Thank you all for responding to me and I hope you all stay safe.

I was thinking probably so, but wasn’t 100% sure. I’ll try them out and report back with my findings. Thank you!

I have a question regarding KQ I-IV? I’ve made a Tandy 1000 configuration in DOSBox and have a question? I’d like to play KQ I-IV in this configuration and would like to ask if it’s possible to play them with Tandy Sound and Tandy Video? I’d be using my KQ Collection 2 copies of the games. Thank you...

I could swear that I tried using that installer before using the installer for the standalone release. I was able to get it to work in the end so it's all good. I'll remember this for the next time I need to install Laura Bow II. Thank you for being patient with me and for breathing new life into th...

I installed it by using my copy of the King's Quest Collection (1997).

Here's an updated Diagnostic Log File with the list of files that I added over the previous Log File. The only files that I got rid of after copying the ones from the disc over were all the files pertaining to the original install files on the disc and things like the bitmap files and other miscella...

I managed to figure out what the problem was, apparently the Installer didn't copy over all the files that are necessary to run the game without the disc. After manually copying over all the files in the Laura Bow II directory on the third disc of the King's Quest Collection (1997), minus the ones t...
