Hey. Just wanted to mention that I recently uploaded a full 569MB version of Kyrandia 3 (ISO, from my original cd) to TPB. (you who use bittorrent should know what that is, i won't give the url because i don't know if it's allowed)

It has movies, sounds, music, all of it. Cheers.

It's not, because of the very illegal nature of most content on there.

We have a different way of sharing ISOs with other users, called "ISO Cellar". You'll see it when you have 20 posts.

I have a different box to the one shown in Extras.
Should I scan & upload it, or is AB not interested in another box scan?

Apparently someone was able to run it through VDMSound:

For people that cannot play the game, i think i found the correct way.

Step 1:
Download the VDMS program from Abondia Software.


Step 2:
Onces installed, you need to push the right button in the Kyrandia 3 directory on the MAIN.exe file and start the program
using VDMS:

- Here you need to select "Use Default configuration" & Remember my settings.

(it's now one of the windows options (just like copy, paste and stuff)
- You can Skip Step 3, it's not needed; but i'll put it here to explain how to fix
the cdrom problem.


Step 3:
- But when started it will give the CD-ROM Problem. Close the DOS window.

Step 4: Push the right button on the Main.Exe file (but now the new pictogram that
VDMS made) here go to properties (or in Dutch : Eigenschappen) (last option in the row)

Step 5: Here you need to select : Enable Low-Level CDROM Support


you have finished this steps, it should work in Windows XP (pack 1 & 2)[/b]

Someone else also used cdemu to get around the problem (I think you could achieve the same result by using DOSBox' mount command with -t cdrom switch).

I had the same problem. Have you tried to use the cdemu2.com file?
just type "cdemu2 [any drive letter]:" and it should work then by starting the "main" file. I made a file called Kyrandia.bat with
"cdemu2 i:
main"
in it.[/b]

I feel very close now. But still no luck.
I manually selected sound card, it took a few minutes but eventually gave me the go ahead.
Then It took me to benchmark thingy, it seemed to pass test. Was asked a question to run under windows or true dos. (I tried both)

But regardless of how I did I still got the same result when trying to run (through vdms or without it):

"SETUP.CFG or PLAYER.INI not found. Run SETUP.exe"

I have it on a seperate CD that I installed from. Sound blaster worked for me also. These files seem to not get created? Where is my miss?

Thanks for your patience :wallbash:

I've solved how to run Abandonia's version of the game. I think you could copy the sound and speech files from the CD version to this one - they should work with it right.

1. DO NOT CONFIGURE A SOUND CARD!!! Digital sound was ripped off and this would crash the game. You have to disable digital sound in the setup. (of course the CD version users can ignore that).
2. The setup works only under Windows.
3. After disabling sound, run DOSBox.
4. !start.bat is the file to run the game from, but if you tried it... you need MSCDEX.
5. DOSBox includes MSCDEX, but it won't be loaded unless you mount a CD drive of some sort.
6. Just mount any directory - anything, anywhere - as drive D and add a -t cdrom switch.
7. Since this made DOSBox load MSCDEX, just run !start.bat and enjoy the game.

Melcolms Revenge is one of my all time favourite adventure games. I own original copies of all 3 Kyrandia games & this is by far the best

Does anybody know how to save this game without using f5? I'm using dosbox on a mac laptop and it won't let me save so I'm having to restart over at the beginning!!!!! Or maybe how to access and menu without using the f buttons?
If you know you can leave the answer here or email me at [BEEEP]@aol.com

Are you sure you're asking about the right game? All Kyrandias have a clikable "menu" button in the bottom left of the screen.
