Guest bastaad525 Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Wow what a coincidence, I just picked up the whole space quest series, and also Day of the Tentacle. That being said, SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME! When I try to play the game I get NO sound no matter what I do. I'm running Win98SE. I've tried running it in a DOS shell in windows, and also booting direct into DOS on start up, and nothing. I have fiddled with all the sound settings in the games setup option and no luck. My soundcard is a soundblaster 128D (kind of a rare soundcard, but should be fully compatible with any soundblaster drivers or whatever). This is an actual card in a PCI slot. I also have a soundcard built in to my mother board, which is an Epox, VIA chipset board, I dunno how exactly you'd classify the soundcard but I think it's also basically a soundblaster. There are options in my BIOS for turning Legacy on and off and I"ve tried them both as well and have enabled soundblaster mode in the BIOS. Nothings working!! I would REALLY love to play these great games (they were SO ahead of their time back then... these were out when the original 8bit NES was still the big thing!) but having no sound SUCKS! EDIT: well just for the heck of it I tried again, this time I enabled Legacy emulation on my PCI soundblaster card. I still was not able to get any sound in the spacequest games, but in Day of the Tentacle, I was able to change the settings and get sound in that, the MIDI sound, but not the voice, if I try to leave voice on it locks up.

SpeedRacer Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Hey Aux, I love those games!!! I have all of them sitting on my shelf right next to all the Leisure Suit Larry games as well as all the Kings Quest games. There are about 20 additional Sierra games on the shelf as well. Thanks for the great memories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWOT Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Hey Aux, if you like oldschool try finding a game called 'Wasteland' , it's one of my personal favs 8) it's probly freeware by now... I used to play it on my apple III, yeah... I said apple III, had to have a special card just to play apple II software Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 this will assign sb card to i/o address 220, irq 5, dma 1 you MAY need dos drivers for the card. in the game setup, set up the same thing.

[/quote'] Get a program called DOSBox here: http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/download.php?main=1 I have used it with many "abandonware" titles and it seems to work well under Win9x, WinNT, WinXP with support for older and newer sound cards in those old games. Let me know if it works for you![/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
