CD image -> dosbox imgmount -> dosbox readme.

You may want to type "cputype 386" before running the game, as this will fix some problems.
I run it at 8000 cycles. Remember that although more cycles will make the virtual cpu faster, it also takes more power of your actual cpu to work. So raising cycles too much makes your actual pc work slower, counterproductive to making dosbox faster.

A lag in sound before the CD kicks in is common in many games, especially older games. you may fix it by copying an ISO image of your CD and mounting it on a virtual drive, then making the virtual drive your CD-drive in dosbox. This eliminates the lag.

Editing the configuration and changing the following lines in the dosbox-0.xx.file also helps with stuttering sound:

from
[mixer]
blocksize=1024
prebuffer=128

to

[mixer]
blocksize=2048
prebuffer=512

Hmmm
mine was set at blocksize=1024 prebuffer=20

Anyone have any success with running cpugrab utility with this game?

Edit: My experience with using CPU Grab at 30% and setting the cycles at 10,000 or so is pretty respectable. I tried changing the blocksize and prebuffer settings as suggested, but it didn't seem to make a difference, so I set them back to 1024 and 20 as was what they were set at originally. I would like to try the imgmount but to be honest, it took me a hell of a lot of frustration to get to where I am now running the game, so I think I will leave well enough alone!

Also what's your game version? IIRC the talkie version had 1.02 patch addressing Pentium issues... have you tested it?

Game version is 1.02

play throne of chaos full cd version on your android phone
 

I nearly pooped myself when I got this working. The ingredients are a mid to high end android phone (I have an older droid 1 but overclocked to 1.1 ghz), andosbox from the market, and the cd dump of the game, available on thepiratebay.org. its legal now, don't worry! About 300mb, so just delete some porn!

Put the game directory in the root of the sd card, and then type mount d: /sdcard/(game directory) -t cdrom

Then d:/ and install the game normally, choosing soundblaster

Then run it! It plays beautifully with full sound!

For convenience, add that command line to your .conf file for andosbox. I'm multitasking between here and the game on my phone right now!

Note: I chose 8mb memory in andosbox, and installed swapper 2 to increase my ram. You definitely want to clock your bad boy up to 1ghz if possible.

Phew, the first time I got stuck, now I had to help myself with walkthrough several times... and I finished the game.

Here are my notes. Feel free to use them, but please note my nickname. Of all those, 2 items are taken from other FAQs (at gamefaqs).

I tried not to list quest items, but DO NOT READ AHEAD IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SPOIL THE GAME FOR YOURSELF

All stats compared with Conrad, it's impossible to give any fixed numbers as the effects vary from character to character

m = might (damage)
p = protection (armor)
c = crowns (price)

Treant stick... and I've been dragging this thing all the way from Gladstone Keep region to the Mine... :) You know RSS, you could have posted this table a little bit earlier... XD

I don't know if it was already posted before, but I found this very cool page on Lands of Lore with tons of item, armour, weapon, spell and monster statistics. Some of it taken from game manual (monsters) but I don't know what's the origin of the rest of the stuff. Can't find those tables in my book, but the font looks the same as in manual.
It's a spoiler, so beware.
