You can drop as many items as you like, but be aware that basically everywhere the items can and will disappear after some time, I'm not entirely sure but that's counted as "been picked up by other people". That goes for some (not all) quest items as well, so if you drop items you might need later for some quest, you can't finish that quest unless you use an editor to insert that item into your bags. That is especially the case in populated spots such as towns, whereas dropping items in the middle of wilderness they usually remain there. |

It would also be nice to know how many items may be dropped for safekeeping per tile, map or game. I heard the games *.dbs file was dynamic and could grow (I wondered how they would cope with droped stuff while having limited space in the file). But it would be good to know how many items could be distributed throughout the game in various locations, before the game starts dropping or deleting stuff elsewhere (I didnt find anything on that in the net). I also successfully identified about 90% of the characters save file sections, including the offsets of mana regen, CC bonuses, last level before class change and so on, but I still got some stuff missing. If anyone else knows what those other values are for, it would be a big help. |

"I'd think the error means Video Initialization .. I'd try low desktop resolution .. 1024x768 works for me. Else try differant video mode and settings .. My Radion 6450 is running game ok. It sounds like a Game Error Code . might not be a dosbox problem. " https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=2708 |

VINIT problem with Wizardry 7 Hello. First off, thanks to all those who run and contribute to Abandonia, and to all those who answer questions here on the forums. I would like to run Wizardry 7 on DOSBox on Windows 10 using my Lenovo all-in-one computer. I mount C and switch to the proper folder (WIZ7 in this case). I then try running executables. If I type, for instance, "DS" I get the following message: "Error 10 loading overlay: VINIT". This message also appears for several other executable files. If I type, "PLAY" I get: "Error 10 loading overlay: VINITSYSTEM ERROR: Unknown Error - Please Report" I also notice that my DOSBox window is rather small, and I cannot enlarge it to fit my monitor. I ran a number of DOS games, using DOSBox on my last computer (a Mac); I think I ran Wizardry 7, but I can't recall definitely. I would welcome any advice anyone can give. Thank you. |

Technically, copyright subsists in most materials for 70+ years after the death of their creator, so books and movies and yes, even these games can still make money. And abandonware is technically illegal, so if we're asked to take our downloads down, we kind of have to |

no pic no proof Really I could have faked this but it's real. This is my setup. Hmm. Image not working for me... If the img tag isn't working look here: http://imgur.com/rRnmSYA.jpg I think I'll buy one of those cheap $2 dollar store stylus pens soon and try mouse mode, it might be easier and I wouldnt have to lug the keyboard around in my bag. If I use the software keyboard I have to turn the screen sideways, then the emulator window only takes up 1/3 of the screen, it's sorta tiny but playable. lazy |

Totally. On my smartphone. Quote:
I've found the standard free Android aDOSBox emulator doesn't work right for me. I use a program called DosBox4SK which is made for some other specific phone, but it works great on my Samsung Galaxy S3. I also install the keyboard "Hacker's Keyboard" so I can actually get a full keyboard, since I play Crusaders of the Dark Savant in keyboard mode. Or of course you can use an external keyboard or mouse, I use a bluetooth keyboard. I can also get an adapter to plug usb keyboards and mice directly into the S3, but that varies by phone. Turn the sound options to Adlib or Soundblaster for Music, but PC Speaker for Sound. I find the sound effects cut out sometimes (but not the music) but you just have to save and restart the emulator. I think that you could play CODS on Mouse mode pretty effectively with a stylus, but it's a little difficult to press the buttons exactly with your fingers, they're too small on a smartphone, maybe on a tablet though. The cool thing about running the game on DOSBox is that I can play the same game on my PC when I'm at home. I just plug in my phone and copy the savegame file over to the computer or vice versa. And always check the time and date on the copies before I confirm just to make sure! And yeah, I can now get lost for hours in this game anywhere I am.... Not good. I have 4 characters now with all spell groups maxed, and woke the last 2 up from "death/pack mule" status so I can beef them all up to 20 Str and break down a few doors. Only about 60 hours in. :P - a CODS lover. |
