dosbox and kings quest VI-cant get it to work ><
 
I have the cdrom version of kings quest 6, and i cant seem to get the game to play from cd using dosbox(even using the moutn d d:\ -tcdrom)


When i mount the cd drive(being d) i try and install but it gives me an error after i choose to save config and install.

Does anyone know how to play this game from cd through dosbox?(so i can hear the voices etc, currently only get some sound/odd honking noise sound glitch and the large icons versus the little ones @.x)

Transfer the files from the CD into a folder on you C: drive and go from there.

i set up my system to dual boot with windows 98. :) solves some problems, but even then some games have issues.

oh! quick question o.o do you ahev any idea if its possibel to run it from windows and NOT have the mouse be all weird?@@ I have an optical mosue(cheap oneXB) and when i try and run dops agems through windows its like the mouse is to fast, it doesnt move right.

arrrg *reads a few things* mentions CVS of DOSBox......*has no idea* @.x darn my not wanting to play with no voices and big icons ><

sorry, i've never really used VDM for anything. i've always managed to get things to work in dosbox or win98. if i can find my kq6 disc i'll see if i can get it working in XP and will PM you when/if i do.

See here for help on getting it to work under DOSBox, or there for the Windows version. :)
