hey, im trying to install Dragonsphere but I'm not good with Dos at all. I downloaded dosbox and i manage to run the install.exe file and Reconfigure hardware options, but after the gameplay options screen i get a EMS driver warning. Does anyone know what to do about that? Please help me play this game...

If it says you don't have EMS installed, go to the DosBox config file, open it, and edit the line that says EMS=false to say EMS=true. Save and restart DosBox.

In Dosbox it already says EMS : True.

What does the error message say, exactly?

Are you running the game through DosBox or in Windows? Remember, you need to start DosBox manually.

Hello!

I hope anyone can help me. I have the original verison of the game on cd. But when i want to run the install process on dosbox there occurs an error after executing the install.exe "No such file or directory - C:\MEM.$$$" "The Error Code is 81". Does anyone know what that means, and how I can solve this problem?

Thank you!

Oddly, I've had success running this game on a P200MMX with 98SE installed. I created a PIF shortcut to the game file, and that was that. I have a SoundBlaster AWE64 Gold in the computer and a Hercules gfx card (PCI). If anyone wants the details of the PIF settings let me know.

Actually, I may as well just tell you since I'm in front of the P200 box

Under the Program tab, I have

First box - MAINMENU
Cmd line - C:\ROMZON\MPSDISC.007\SPHERE\MAINMENU.EXE
Working - C:\ROMZON\MPSDISC.007\SPHERE
Batch file - I left this blank
Shortcut key - none
Run - Normal window

Advanced button

Suggest MS-DOS mode as necessary is checked.

I think that covers it.

for those who are having sound/saving problems-

*right click all files in the zip and uncheck "read only" so that you will be able to reconfigure the game/save game.
*run install.exe and reconfigure sound. sound blaster with dosbox is fine.
*start the game, press escape, choose game play options and turn music on, sound on and if you have the speech files- speech on.

I wanted to try it, but there is one annoying thing -> is there any way to make our hero (and the other people too) walk _faster_? Setting CPU cycles to 10000 id DOSBox didn't help.
