KING'S QUEST
7 - Tech notes
Problem: In
Windows, I can't hear the dragonettes' music or the music from the harp when I pluck the
strings. The music throughout the rest of the game is OK. Help!
Solution: This has
to do with your Windows MIDI Mapper not being set up correctly. Take a look in the MUSIC
section of this README for information to set up your MIDI Mapper properly. This is the
only audio puzzle in the game. To get you past this part, touch strings 1,5,6,4 (assuming
1 is the first string on the left).
Question: I'm used
to making saved games. KQ7 doesn't make "saved games" the way I'm used to them;
it makes "bookmarks" instead. What's the difference?
Answer: A bookmark
is a single saved game. It's like the bookmark placed in a book to mark where you stopped.
KQ7's bookmark will let you quit a game and return to the same bookmark later. You can
start from any chapter in the game, so you won't need to make a lot of "saved
game" positions.
Problem: "OUT
OF MEMORY: 1046312 BYTES REQUESTED, TYPE = DECOMPRESSION etc." or
"OUT OF MOVEABLE MEMORY"
Solution: Make and
use a boot disk, then start the game and try again.
FYI: The default
size for SMARTDRV is 2048K or 2 megabytes. On an 8 megabyte RAM system, there may not be
enough free memory left over to run the game. Reducing SMARTDRV 2048,2048 to SMARTDRV 512,
512 on a boot disk will free up more memory for the game in Windows.
