Hmm, that's strange.
I just downloaded it, and started it with no problems with VDM Sound.

Maybe try downloading it again, and see if that helps?

Well tried setting up with some different settings and tried unzipping outside my Dosgames folder... nothing.. Running it from C:\Dragonsphere generates a critical error from VDMSound.. running it from C:\Dosgames\Dragonsphere it opens the VDMSound window, goes to a black full screen and crashes to the desktop with no errors.

I may see if that Digitized voice version comes through and see if that works.

((oh yeah.. I am actually a member here... just been so long I don't even remember my login :tai: LOL ))

Nice one. I played it back in 1994 or 1995, along with Police Quest IV. I had to purchase a hint book, 'cause I could not solve it by my own. Recommended to adventure game fans. I love the story twist in the middle of the game

BTW, don't want to be a nitpick here, but IIRC the character name is Callash, not Callosh.

I must say I'm surprised to see Dragonsphere here, though. I remember the request being rejected in the past due to ESA protection. If it is okay for Dragonsphere, perhaps we can get Rex Nebular next (unless it is considered as a mature game)? Or, is it already hosted on Abandonia as well? (Too lazy to search)

I just beat the sorceror and am trying to heal Lanie, but anytime I use an object it shuts down as soon as I am done using the object and in dos says

An error has occured, check to see if it is installed properally

Error "VariantLoadFailure" in module "<object>" data: 5108 5040

Most recent memory check: 31248
Most recent dos error: 2
Stack use indicator: 1174


And when i load up the game again, and resume, it takes me right to where i was wiht the object used and everything, but as soon as i use another object, it shuts me down again



This is an enjoyable game and I would love to keep playing, any help is appreciated.

@ ScytheKnight
I don't know what is causing your problems. I have had no problems using VDM Sound.
Can you try using DosBox, and see it that makes a difference?



@ Alancer
What are you using to run the game. It doesn't work in Windows, you need DoxBox or VDM Sound. k:

Added the speech pack to the extras section! Many thanks to red_avatar for providing it! I've kept the game archive without it for people with slower connections. Also, the new archive is from red_avatar so people that had problems, try re-downloading this one, perhaps it will be more compatible!

According to Oldwarez list it's Abandonware.
I think I'll go and review it.

I'm running it with VDMSound, and after setting the correct irq, I got it working but: No speech. I unpacked the speechpack into the directory and selected SB16 for speech at 220, 5, 1. (I/O, irq, dma). I have an AC97 audio.

VDM Sound, but I guess I will try Dos Box and see if it makes a difference.


THe entire game worked up until now.

VDMSound will NOT work for speech. Dragonsphere and other Microprose adventure games (for example, Return of the Phantom) had problems with speech on both VDMS and Dosbox. The programmers for DOSBOX found the solution, however, and since 0.65 these games will now fully function WITH sound.

The archive I uploaded is pre-set up and you should not change anything so PLEASE DON'T before making sure the sound works or not.
