Sounds like you've simply got a bad disk there. You should try a different WC version.

I'm running DOSBox 0.61 at 10000 cycles on a Windows 98 SE system (no VDMSound) without any problems. U8 sound settings: Soundblaster for music & speech (MPU401 works also, but is a little bit too slow) My U8.ini looks rather strange: ÿÿÿÿÐÿ„j \þß:`þ~ ÿß:~ • F 0 °Install usic Configura My dosbox. …

😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 Wonderful, even though it's too slow. I was thinking about upgrading my PC - this might be a good reason...

Crusader - No Remorse works. Just set "EMS=false". Thanks, DOSBox team - GREAT work !!!

Are you using the default settings for DOSBox? My version of DSavant works fine with v0.60. I've got the Wizardry Collection (I-VII) on CD-ROM, but I believe it's identical to the floppy disk version. Maybe you should try to run it on DOSBox 0.58?

Have you tried the -aspi setting when mounting your CD-ROM? That helped with Realms of Arkania 2, which kept asking me for the correct CD before. my setting: "mount d F:\ -t cdrom -aspi"

It's impossible to tell which kind of CPU DOSBox emulates at a certain cycle rate. It very much depends on the game you want to run. On my Athlon XP 1800+ I can run Ultima Underworld perfectly well at 10000 cycles, but only at the approximate speed of my old 386/33. On the other hand, Warcraft 2 or …

Hmm... I didn't do anything special, just opened DOSBox, ran install and played it. At least you get a loading screen, KQ6 obviously doesn't crash due to an incompatibility with DOSBox. Something's simply eating up too much memory. I've got the floppy version - if you're you using the CD-ROM edition …

Just tried KQ6 on DOSBox 0.60 and it runs fine... The default 16 MB value of the memsize option is sufficient to run KQ6, so are the XMS=true / EMS=true / DPMI=true settings. You might perhaps want to edit your dosbox.conf file (in your DOSBox directory, use Notepad) and change the given values, but …

Realms Of Arkania 3 = Das Schwarze Auge 3 works (way too slow, but I guess it might be playable on a 3 GHz machine).

Comanche! Great work, guys!
