abandonia's RPG section is growing.. cool.. but one thing came across my mind just now..

"why Pagan before Serpent Isle??" still no review for Serpent Isle?

for the record.
You don't need vdmsound to get sound effects/music under dosbox.

hmmm
how odd
the game runs very slowly
I've tried ctrl+f12 in dosbox but that doesn't have any effect.

Do you hear the people talk? because I can't seem to skip the dialogue... and the dialogue lasts for a very long time.

OK. Edit the dosbox.conf file.
Under the [render] sectionframeskip is default 0. Change it to 5
Under the [cpu] section cycles is default 3000. Change it to 6500
or press Ctrl+F12 until cycles at the top reads 6500

This will not harm dosbox in any way. it will not harm your computer either. another trick that you can look at is by pressing right-clicking your taskbar and then click task manager. click the processes tab and then click on "user name" click on all the processes linked to your username except for explorer.exe and taskmgr.exe and then click end process. even thought there is a warning. click yes. then rund dosbox.

also set your options inside the game it is textspeed or something to a value other than 5. if to slow set higher. if too fast set lower. you can also activate frame skipping if needed. :brain:

You have to klick with mouse on it in order to skip it.
As for the speed, I increased the cpu cycles with ctrl+F12 to 11500, this is then good speed for the game, perhaps 12500 would be perfect then.

I cannot Download Ultima 8 from this site.

I had no problems when tried to download the game... :?

I've tried it, I think I still prefer the 7, the gloomy spirit isn't for me, and the lack of overview of quite annoying.
The animation of the PC and NPCs is quite choppy and the movement can be quite annoying IMO.
