So I wanna play World of Xeen on XP
February 27th, 2009, 06:04
Nostalgia bit me, so I got the Millennium collection of Might and Magic, and I have no clue how to make it work. I try to install first and then use DOSBOX but it isn't working. 
Help please.
Help please.

They all work in DOSBOX, I've not only played them, they're still on my HD and working. Mind you, I had to get my son to set up and configure DB properly for them to work!!

You will never see him join. He will be just known as "Corwin" or - The Corwin.

World of Xeen ran fine for me on XP Pro without DOSBOX. I used the Mok patch here. I also ran it in Windows 98 / Windows ME compatibility mode, iirc.
I may have also experimented with the official patch, since the Xeen version number is out of sync with the other MM6 numbers. Anyway, it ran like a top.

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on. But it don't snow here. It stays pretty green. I'm going to make a lot of money, then I'm going to quit this crazy scene. -- [Joni Mitchell]

I usually set the RAM for 32mb, 10k cpu cycles, and soundblaster sound. Though IIRC the last comp (XP) it pulled the same stuff it did back when we first had it installed on a DOS 486. Locked up when entering shops and stuff with the sound turned on. Went to PC speaker, but never got around to doing the permanent fix.
Though I cannot recall ever having an issue running it in DOSBox, across several computers and years. It could be though that the Millenium version is modified to work in Windows natively, so you might try it out without DOSBox. I know I could get WoX to run in Windows XP without DOSBox, but I always set up DFend so I could easily open all my older games up together.

How do you use the patch? My Polish is a little rusty.
Keep in mind the age of some of the posts there, though. XP has been updated many times since some of them were made, not to mention all the new graphics and sound drivers.
