Title: SCI32 Sound
Post by: Patrick on May 10, 2003, 09:00:50 PM

how the heck do you get the sound to work on these games? i have a bunch of them, and none of the sound works! i go into install and it says that it cannot write the config file!

also...i dont know whether i can ask this...but does anyone have a copy of Freddy Pharkas they could lend me? mine for some reason wont let me save my game anymore...im under XP...and it USED to work...i got the game when i purchsed Kings Quest VI...so technically i already own it  ::)

Freddy Pharkas is on the internet for download... Al Lowe linked to it on his site.

Of course, take the read-only attributes off the files, and they should work fine... Happens to me too sometimes, that always works.

I looked and found it here:

http://www.freddypharkas.com/links.html

Just go down to the part that says:

"The Full Game!" and then has a link to a download. Note, however, this is not one that has the voice.

I tried it on my machine and I do not have that problem. (The machine I tried it on was a Windows 98 Second Edition machine.) I was able to save and restore without problem.

Then again, I do not have it in a directory structure like yours. Mine is in c:\Freddy. Did you try it without it being in a path where long file names are being used?

Well, when a game is on abandonware site, it doesn't have to be it... And Al Lowe edited his site in the meanwhile, and linked freddypharkas.com... He still allowed to download it (Al Lowe allowed... ;D).
