Betrayal at Krondor - Page 2

Jaradu:
You're a good example of why I'm teaching my 13 year old brother to manipulate DOS on his Win98 Pentium to the best of my knowledge. [img]tongue.gif[/img] *sigh*. The new generation and the desire to be spoon-fed.

Some old stuff is very demanding however, I can remember the headaches of getting Darksun, Ultima 7 to run. Hell, I'm still not ready to play Serpent's Isle yet! Will get to it one day...

A mate of mine has been recently singing the praises of DOSbox and so has been playing some classics he likes such as Master of Magic, Civilisation, Master of Orion.

Although sadly I've never played Betrayal OR Return to Krondor (know about them of course!) I do have a boxed original of Betrayal In Antara which is a Sierra game which uses an updated version of the same game engine. Again though, haven't played it yet! Too much to play in so little time, it seems. Again, one day....

I seem to have a teeny weeny problem. After downloading the thing and installing the game. Where can i find the game to run it?

Luvian · 02-08-2005, 07:01 PM

Mine is Return to Krondor.

I hated it.

For you who have problems running this game in XP, get VDM sound found Here:

http://ntvdm.cjb.net/

Install the program and then lift Click on the main program and an option should show run with vdmsound. For some of those DOS programs this utility works great.

Where to get it, try Underdog.

SuperChief · 02-08-2005, 09:39 PM

The link I posted is bad so do a goggle seach vdmsound.

Kakero · 02-09-2005, 04:02 AM

I give up, after installing the game I couldn't find the game anywhere in my computer. Even using find function also only show me the original zipped file which I downloaded from the net. Shesh!

Kakero

I am am going to do a web search again to find the copy I am using and get back.

*Nod to Luvian*

Return to Krondor deserves the spite of us all, lol.

Betrayal at Krondor is far superior in every measure other than graphics imo.

Btw, about DOSBOX, I have had no luck getting BaK to work using it, and I've gotten at least 50 other games including Master of Magic to work using it. For Dosbox, I recommend a program called D-FEND, which stands for Dosbox FrontEND. It's quite user friendly, and can help get the speed and sound of games right. Even better, you can run your games by double clicking them from DFEND's menu. Run a quick google on it if you're interested.

What I haven't found is an emulator that's a bit faster, because I've found some games that want Dos, but are mid-90's and require more power than DosBox is emulating, even with its speed enhanced.

And as a little tip for Dosbox, keep your oldies in a folder directly into the C: (or whatever) drive. They're just easier to find in DOS that way.

People,
After a google search this is waht I found for anyone interested in the game.

version unknown
Has WinRar self extracting archive, might need winrar to use
http://www.bhlegend.com/php/show.php3?game=275

Has WinZip file of main Program and update to version 1.02
http://www.alt-tab.net/alt-tab/games/krondorplay.asp

Version 1.02 of the game
http://www.gameogre.com/krondor.htm

Another download sight
http://www.megagames.com/news/html/f...tkrondor.shtml

Krondor help site
http://www.hi.is/~eybjorn/krondor/krondor.html

The Gateway BAK help with downloads, download game v 102, helps, music
http://www.dimwood.net/

BaK resource page
http://members.chello.at/theodor.lauppert/games/bak.htm

For VDMsound ver 2
http://sourceforge.net/projects/vdmsound/

I found that VDNsound better to run certain dos games, works good for BAK

Note: when using the winzip file to install, do not use the install option in win zip, just extrate it to a new folder, which you will name krondor. For some reason the install option of zip does not work. once you have in unzipped to krondor folder you should find the main program Krondor.exe. If using vdmsound, right click on the file and choose run with vdms. You should get the start intro screen and credits, to by pass this to start, just left click and you go to start of game.
I hope this helps
