Ah I understand then.

Thank you for the help! Pretty sad that we couldn’t figure this out 🙁 I was so looking forward to play some old stuff. I’ll try to look for some other games then, maybe.

By the way..
Wizardry 7 mgc file is starting the game up but stays at black screen, does norhing, the controls pop up, then nothing, it won’t crash or quit from the game, just stays in black screen forever. (Although the gog version for this is pretty confusing, you had to download it from the extras, and it put the files in the DSavant folder inside the main Wizardry 7 gog folder. So I copied the files from there to the main Wizardry 7 folder, the game is playing nicely but I can’t get the imported widgets again to work.) Not sure if this helps but I guess I should mention it.

[Cori91]

Yes. It is unchecked.

If I check it, the app doesn’t even find the folder the game is in. :/

For some reason the Widgetd for Might and Magic 4-5 (World of Xeen) is working for MM3… lol.

But I cant get it to work for Ultima6 or Wizardry 7 either…

[Cori91]

I tried using this one, changing the game path of course, but it’s the same thing. It crashes when I try to run the imported mgc file.

If I start the game up first then try to import widgetd that way in game, than the buttons show up but either gets stuck on the screen even all the time OR disappear if I exit out of the design mode. Either way I gues that’s why xou have to run the mgc file first to set up everything so later on you can use it with the game without problems. Am I right?

Either way it doesnt work for me for some reason 🙁

[Cori91]

Sorry to be a nuisance lol.
I’m very grateful for the constant answers and help!

But it just doesn’t want to work.

I import the mgc file to dosbox, I change the paths to my Ultima 6 directory, set every setting to be the same as the games setting in dosbox, I unchecked the expert settings too.
I start the mgc file so it should integrate itself to the game but it just crashes the whole dosbox.
The mgc file is of course in the same directory as the Ultima 6 game files.

Not sure what else can I do?

[Cori91]

Okay new question, haha. It’s for Ultima 6 mgc control layout file.

Should I open a new topic for it? Or write in the specific mgc topic?

So I downloaded Alex’s and Chris’ Ultima 6 mgc control layout. Both if I import dosbox just doesn’t do anything, sometimes crashes the whole app too. What’s the deal with that?

For MM3 it works I mean MM4-5’s layout imports fine and starts up MM3 just fine, but Ultima somehow doesn’t. Any idea?

[Cori91]

Hello guys!

Sorry for the late reply.

So I tried it again, but now with the gog installs. I copied the files from a PC and it works

MM3 is fast as it can be, now low fps loading screens.
Ultima 6 has sound and no stuttering. (I tested this one too from a random dos rom download and was bad, stuttering and without sound)

So I’m not sure what changed but from GOG everything seem to be working flawlessly.

Thanks for the help.

[Cori91]

Yes. I set “Install.exe” for the Setup, the Main program is “MM3.exe”.
Tried the sound with sound blaster 2 or 16, both settings have no sound and the game running with low framerate.

The thing is in my .conf file, under autoexec, I have this… (if I want to launch with expert commands)

[autoexec]
@Echo Off
mount c: <games>
c:

My game is in games folder under another folder named MM3.

Shouldn’t I change the location to?

[autoexec]
@Echo Off
mount c c:\games\MM3
c:

But I tried this and says that the directory c:\games\MM3 does not exist.

Drive C does not exist.

What the hell?

Thanks for the help by the way!

[Cori91]

If I change sbtype to sb16 in the config and enable expert command and then start… somehow the dosbox doesn’t find the game, says I have to mount it.

[Cori91]

You mean that I change in the config file?

I’ll try although there’s not even music even though the game loads in with like 1fps, so there is video, but to get to the main menu I have to wait minutes.

It is run from internal, don’t have an sd card for the phone.

I have no idea what could be the problem. Although I randomly downloaded the game from google from a link, but not sure what could be different for the gog version. (didn’t want to bother with gog for the phone although I have it there)

[Cori91]

Alright I got it. Hope it helps!

[Cori91]

It is running with Soun blaster 16, although in the conf file under sblaster there’s sbtype=SB2. Although even if I change the sound card to SB 2.0 it’s still very slow.

Performance is automatic too.

🙁

[Cori91]

Nobody? 🙁

I have tried MM 4-5 World of Xeen. And it is working fine! So I’m not sure what’s up with Isles of Terra.
