You can get Tandy sounds and graphics like the video below. If you change the settings in pool.cfg to.ĪND also access the DOSBOX configuration file and change the data within it so that it uses.

In my experience, Tandy definitely has the best audio/sound capablility for Pool of Radiance. The meanings of the pool.cfg file lines are:ġ.- Graphic mode: E(GA) / C(GA) / T(andy)Ģ.- Sound mode: P(C speaker) / T(andy) / S(ilent) It seems Pool of Radiance did not use arrow keys, but the numpad keys, specifically '7' for up, and '1. I googled and found out that I should change a string in Dosbox configuration file ( usescancodesfalse). The arrow keys (used to choose commands) did not work. You can change things around here to alter the settings. I fixed this by fiddling around in the games config file. There is allot that you can configure within both the DosBox configuration file and the Pool of Radiance configuration file to make your PoR experience even better. Originally I played PoR on the c64, then to Dos, then using DosBox with D-Fend, then using DosBox with D-Fend Reloaded, and then I finally ditched D-Fend Reloaded in favor of just using the command prompt in DosBox.

But it's usually just a matter of time and trial and effort to get these old games to play. It seems with each new release of DosBox and new release of D-Fend Reloaded, and all the various Operating Systems, and now tablets also etc, sometimes it takes a bit of configuration to get games like PoR working again. Good to hear that you are able to play Pool of Radiance on your new tablet and computer. Share your nostalgic memories Rating 4.

For a little more info on how to start a game in DOSBox click here. Greetings and Welcome to the forums Theurgist! DOSBox Keep in mind that this game only works with DOSBox an emulator for DOS games. The game requires a number of keyboard inputs that in later games were selected with a cursor. EDIT2: Well, unfortunately, trying this with Pool of Radiance doesnt work very well. Re: Hello and question (disk 3 error help: solved) Keys most often used would be the numpad keys for movement, the Enter key for selections and the ESC key for cancel/quit. JOIN ( learn about it) | LOG-IN ( lost password?) Diagonal movement in combat still requires the numpad keys though.Hello and question (disk 3 error help: solved) (Sticky) Most of these games will also work with the standard cursor keys for menus and cardinal directions in combat.

However, the joystick controls are extremely sensitive, so you'll need to fiddle with the settings in order to get it working to some degree of usability. Once enabled it runs through a quick calibration and then works. It requires the joystick to be plugged in and then enabled in the menu. Pool of Radiance (and I suspect Curse of the Azure Bonds) require you to select most menu items with a keyboard shortcut rather than the numpad, so it might be very difficult to map to a controller.ĮDIT Final: The first game to support Joystick controls is Secret of the Silver Blades. Those games may already have built-in joystick support, so it may be a moot point. Xpadder should as well, and I think that's going to be the best bet for games that allow selection with a cursor. I know that Pinnacle/Padstarr will map an 8-direction dpad, so that could be an option. PoolRad works with normal Dosbox, but not w/ D-Fend Reload Frontend. Haven't tried mapping to the axis, but since the game requires 8 individual direction inputs, I don't think it will work with the built-in mapper. A tribute to 1980s/1990s computer role playing games-Bards Tale trilogy,Pool of Radiance,Champions of Krynn,Wizardry,Gateway to the Savage Frontier, Chat about strategies, tips and other useful crpg stuff. Also, the mapper in DosBox doesn't support mapping diagonals to the hat-switch on an Xbox controller (the D-pad). Keys most often used would be the numpad keys for movement, the Enter key for selections and the ESC key for cancel/quit.ĮDIT2: Well, unfortunately, trying this with Pool of Radiance doesn't work very well. Given that the keyboard controls are fairly consistant across the gold box games, I don't see why something like the DosBox mapper or Xpadder couldn't make a workable profile for any of the games. A number also list native joystick and mouse support. If you haven't bought the collection yet, let me know and I can check my QRCs.ĮDIT: Just looked through them and all list the number pad for movement keys.

For all the games, check the quick reference card PDF and it will tell you what keys are used for each game.

As stated above, some of the later games will allow the use of a mouse. MetalBrian: Does the game use the number pad this way throughout? I ask because I have a compact keyboard that doesn't have a number pad, and I'm wondering if this is going to be an issue.
