![]() ![]() This thread is about an issue with DOSBox, I only mentioned ScummVM to indicate that saving games did work there, but that I then had the issue of having to play with no voices. Perhaps I should have mentioned that the game used to work fine under Windows XP Professional 32 bit. Until now I used to be one of those thousands of peope. I suspect that something is wrong with my Windows installation or maybe a compatibility issue with Windows 7 64 bit. ScummVM places all of its save games in the user folder where there are no write restrictions. Since VISTA, the %ProgramFiles% folders are protected. A game in DOSBox does not see outside of its mounted folders, so if you have the game inside the %ProgramFiles%, it may not be able to write files. Depending in the extension, any attempts to write to it may be redirected the the Virtual Store inside the User folder. This is why Leisure Suit Larry 5 will not even in the %ProgramFiles% on Vista and higher. Try what Qbix suggested of moving it out of the %ProgramFiles%, to, say, C:\DOS\ It is also why GOG has finally moved its folder outside of the %ProgramFiles%. Okay, somehow I am apparently not being clear: I never ran the game from a folder inside the Program Files directory. Here is a post I made earlier in this thread: No, I am not 100% sure about the access rights for my Program Files folders, but I have not had any problems with any programs u I experimented with different mountings and folders to be sure that what QBix suggested wasn't the issue. ![]() No, I am not 100% sure about the access rights for my Program Files folders, but I have not had any problems with any programs using it inside DOSBox. I should have mentioned that I run Full Throttle from a folder on my D: drive.Īny way, I changed the mountings so that only the D: drive was used, but that didn't fix the problem. The save feature does work in ScummVM 1.6.0, but then the speech doesn't work. SFX and music work fine, but there is no speech. ![]()
