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)

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 :unsure:

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:

WooHooo!

alright then Cremz were both in the game now with sound blaster sound!

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.
