Man, I am so amazed that you guys don't like the graphics. Try comparing it to other '95 titles. I thought it was excellent, and the game ran smoothly on my old 486 dx4 100 mhz.

I was amazed at that time, and today I still love the graphics. It adds a certain interest and mood to the game.

HoM&M este unul din joacele mele favorite...Toata colectia mai putin IV.

Sorry... I wanna say that the series HMM is my favorite (without Warcraft), but the IV'rd paart is litlle :not_ok:

Thanks for the help another quest

I managed to solve the problem by editing the dosbox.conf file and set the cpu cycles at a higher rate.

Cheers

Hi, this is a great site. I remember so many games from here.

I was just wondering if any other Might and Magic fans knew where I can get the patches to play Might & Magic 6 & 8 on XP.
I bought both games a few years ago, and loved playing them, but I upgraded from Windows98 to XP.
3DO used to have a 'patch' on their website which made the games work, but since they dont exist anymore, neither does the patch.


I'm just gonna throw a tanty here
*I want patches so I can play my fave games*

I have searched and searched for patches, and I cant find them anywhere.

If you can help, please leave a message and I will check back here.

This guide is for Windows XP Pro Service pack 2 on a clean system install and everything is updated. This means to update your bios, video drivers, directx 9.0c and xp. After you have installed the games make sure that you have the latest patches installed for MM6-7, and 9. This should work on XP Home also as long as you have Service pack 2 and everything uptodate. Special Thanks to Bones at http://telp.org/ for the fix for MM8.

IMPORTANT: Download Windows Application Compatibility Toolkit from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...en&Hash=M5X9DQ4 and install.

I had hardware accelerated mode for video on ALL except MM7. I was not able to select sound options at all on MM6-MM7.

* 1. MM6 -http://home.mchsi.com/~andy4590/mm6x.zip Follow the instructions included. This allows you to play on XP with the CD.
* 2. MM7 -First run MM7 configuration utility and change to software 3d. Go to your MM7 directory and right click MM7.exe and choose properties. Click the Compatibility tab. Go to compatibility mode area and click run this program in compatibility mode. Then choose Windows 98/ME and click okay. Then goto the start menu, then run, and type dxdiag. Click the sound tab. Then under directx features move the slider all the way down to no acceleration Hardware sound Acceleration level. Now run the game. You will need the cd.
* 3. MM8 -To play MM8 you need to have installed Windows Application Compatibility Toolkit. You will need to download http://home.mchsi.com/~andy4590/MM8comXpProSP2.sdb Browse to the start menu, then programs, then to Microsoft Windows Application Compatibility Toolkit, and then click on Compatibility Administrator Tool 3.0. Click open and browse to where you saved MM8comXpProSP2.sdb and open the file. Under New Database you should see a new entry. Something like MM8 [c:\Documents and Settings\Drew\Desktop\MM8comXpProSP2.sdb] Right click this and chose install. Go to your MM8 directory and right click MM8.exe and choose properties.

I LOVE Heroes Of Might And Magic series, but those warlock guys are too superior in first 2 parts. I mean, one crusader's got like 75 hit points, and black dragon like 350. It takes a lightning bolt with spell power of 3 to kill the crusader, while you can't throw anything on dragon! It's bloody ridiculous! If you fight against a better hero with spell power like 12, he'll kill 4 crusaders per turn!
