I assume you have already mounted your D:\Dosgames directory as the C drive in DosBox. If not:
mount C D:\Dosgames

Put stuff from all floppies into a single directory.
Then mount that directory in DosBox as the A drive using MOUNT command:
mount a (insert the path to that directory here)

Enter A: to change to that directory and install the game to the virtual "C drive" (which in reality is your D:\Dosgames directory)

Thank you

Does anyone here know how with this file to get Sound Blaster sound?

I feel dumb but i just realised all the sound was coming out of the pc, i just figured it was old and not as good.

I looked at the install file after the zip file unpacked itself of DQK and its defaulted to PC sound. Can I reinstall?


Maybe i could try that

I followed the directions and it give me an error "could not write C:\DQK\disk1\dqk.cfg(-9)"

what I did was mount c d:/oldgames followed by mount a d:/oldgames/dqok

with soundblaster sound, install in C drive, read source from A:\ floppies. Anything I did wrong?

First unrar your game in your d:\oldgames directory, then create folder like dqk. Now put all your darkqueen folder stuff in that dqk folder (just copy paste)

Then do this in dosbox: mount c d:\oldgames (enter) mount a d:\oldgames\dqk (enter) then go to station A aka a: (enter) and write install.

I hope i gave you right instructions

I can't remember whether this game had SB sound..
Where's your Soundblaster? It's usually at 220h or 388h. Are you using Dosbox? If not, it's just a matter of configuring your autoexec.bat to include a SET BLASTER line and also a SET SOUND if you're using a card that needs special drivers.

Oh I figured it out. I went to the dqk install file and it was defaulted to PC sound, miracously it let me do a reinstall even though it wanted to look for the install files on a floppy drive. I reselected Sb sound for music and effects and saved it and reinstalled. Now its a lot better.

Only problem is my friend used to go on about how good the fishes sounded in SB in the underwater level with the bubbles and stuff. I dunno if I want to go back, just for that

Yeah, sounds are fun in this game. When creature dies it sounds like dude who is drunk and is vomiting Now in Death Knights they have that manly AAARRGGGHHH!!! :w00t:

Yes, that works finally! Thanks.

WooHooo!

I'm sure it won't be long before you catch up to where I am at. I accidently saved over my game so I have to start New Aurim over i think.

I will probably start playing again Monday night cause thats when my weekend starts.
