You're mounting the wrong directory, so the game cannot find it's save game directory. The way you're doing it below, is causing your wizworx\poolrad directory to be seen as your C: drive. mount c "f:\wizworx\poolrad" c: call start.bat exit Try this, in XP not Dosbox, create this directory f:\ …

bloodbat said it far better than I could. Your problem is that you're installing the game 1st through a XP dos window and then trying to run it under Dosbox via D-fend. Start over and follow bloodbats instructions.

From my experience with D&D and AD&D most + specific weapons were +1 vs anything and +3 vs their specific foe type. When levels and difficulty started rating +3 weapons as the common type, then they might be +3 vs all +5 vs specific. I would assume these are +3 vs Giants. But I don't think Golems …

As others have already said, in your Curse directory delete the curse.cfg file there. And when you run start.exe from inside Dosbox, it will bring up the configuration options again. For the best graphics and sound pick the following options. 1: select 2 for ega graphics 2: select 2 for tandy sound …

Bakersfield, California American SW. Hot, dry and ugly (currently cold, wet, and muddy, woohoo for change!). With lots of bikers, rednecks, and seasonal workers. Meh, I prefer my PC and Dosbox.

Yes but...but it's Steam for christ's sake! I'd sooner install Starforce and the un-patched Pool of Radiance 2 into my rig, before I'll allow Steam or Windows Live on it.
Re: dark queen of krynn graphics messed up

Congrats on completing the series. It took some dedication with all of your hardware and program hiccups. I only completed DQK and the latter goldbox games once, back in my early dos days. All of the manuals, paragraphs, code-words and floppy management, where a real chore to go through even then. …

I realize this is an old necrotic post, but since it has been reintroduced and I have found a work around for it, thought I would post my solution here also for anyone searching for it. This applies to the Wizardworks 9 game version of The Dark Queen of Krynn. It has a couple of problems with it, …

Woohoo nailed the sucker! All right, the remaining problem is using the wizworx or probably anything else besides Dqk in the save game structure. Once I made a Dqk directory and copied the game into that directory. Then ran configur to set Soundblaster sound and tell it where Dkk is stored, for …
Re: What was the first game you played?

First Arcade game was Pinball, then probably Pac-Man. First PC game was Treasure of Tarmin on my amazing Aquarius PC with 4k memory and a massive 16k memory cartridge! First console would be Tank on the Atari 2600.

Ok, this is the best I can come up with so far. It should work provided your games are installed to C:\dosgames\wizworx\dqk and C:\dosgames\wizworx\dkk on your HD. And that C:\dosgames is mounted as C in Dosbox's conf file. So that they are seen as C:\wizworx\dqk and C:\wizworx\dkk from inside …

Well sheepdip! Closer but not there yet. With the above setup I was able to load the default save game and begin playing, but once I entered the Inn and tried to save, it choked trying to find the floppy drive and expected files. And it doesn't look like it will load the DKK files either from the …

Take a floppy installed Dos game, add a half-assed HD installation routine, that still counts on the original floppy option for saving games. And wrap it all in yet another poorly written install utility, for installing on W95/98 and beyond. And you get a Wizardsworks game compilation that doesn't …

That would be the easiest way to do it. I would also recommend that you mount the virtual game directory you created for the previous games and install it to there. Which will make it easier to transfer over your toons as you complete each game. Just remember to run the game from it's directory and …
