If it doesn't work with Nagi, you'll have to do some tweakings in the .ini file. That tweaking should already be done in Enclosure. You can simply download Enclosure, put Leisure Suit Larry 1 (original version) in a folder in Enclosure, then start Enclosure. You'll be prompted which game to play. I bet you'll be able to figure it out from there on

I need help :help: I have downloaded LSL VGA and Dosbox and nothing works . I don't know how to run the game through dosbox. I need some step by step instructions. Somebody please help me.

First, install dosbox into a folder called c:\dosbox.

Next, create a directory in c:\ and call it something that is 8 letters or less. I call it c:\oldgames. Then, make sure that every game you install gets installed to c:\oldgames. For instance, Space Quest 4 would go in c:\oldgames\sq4. Remember to name all directories within c:\oldgames at 8 letters or less!

Now, from within Windows, go to the Command Prompt. When the black window pops up, type C:\DOSBOX\DOSBOX -FULLSCREEN. This command basically just tells the computer to load up an executable file called dosbox from within the directory c:\dosbox, and the "-fullscreen" means load it in fullscreen mode.

The screen will flash a bit, and you will eventually see a "z prompt" (Z:\). Type MOUNT C C:\OLDGAMES. This mounts your c:\oldgames directory as your "root directory" within dosbox.

Type C:\. This changes your z prompt to a c prompt.

Now change to whatever directory your chosen game is in. Remember, we loaded c:\oldgames as just plain ol' c:\. This means that you don't have to mention the word oldgames anymore. You would just type CD SQ4 (Change Directory to SQ4), or CD Larry1, or whatever the directory name is for the corresponding game.

Your prompt should now say the name of the directory you are in, like C:\SQ4, for instance. If you haven't installed the game yet, you would type in INSTALL at this point, and follow the instructions. But if you don't know the name of the installation file (always INSTALL for Sierra games) you could type DIR/W to see a list of files and search for one.

If you've already installed the game, and you're back to your C:\SQ4 (or whatever) prompt, you would then type the name of the executable file that starts the game. It's different for every game, though many Sierra games start with a file called SIERRA or SCIDHUV. Just DIR/W again if you have to search around. Try to consult a readme file or documentation of some kind first, if you're unsure of what file to use, because many old games required the use of a pre-scripted batch file (.bat) to work properly.

I was bored so I made this reply very lengthy, but hopefully it's simple enough to make sense of.

Also, keep in mind that many of the older games were designed for the original Soundblaster and Adlib cards from yesteryear, so your computer might lock up if you aren't prepared for this. I use an emulator called VDMS, but if you don't have anything like it you might want to make sure your games are setup without Soundblaster options turned on.

Enjoy!

Can anyone re-upload the game so that I can run it, because I can't get "WinRAR" to install correctly, and because of this, I can't extract the files from my LSL1 VGA download. Thanks, Tiny.

DosBox has no pictures!
It's an emulation of the MS-Dos. That's the thing we used before clicking on everything in windows!

So you must TYPE things in it!
You must also read things in it!
SO:
type mount c *drive*:\
For *drive* type the letter of the disk you have your old games on!

Now there are some basic Dos commands you need to know!

X: - takes you to the drive you mounted (put the right letter in instead of X)!
CD - type this and the name of the folder to go to that certain folder!
CD.. - go back one folder!
DIR - look what's in the folder!
DIR.BAT (or .EXE or .COM) - lets you see all the programes you can run!
NAME - type the name of the program you wish to run!

Or you could just get a program called D-Fend and it will mount the game automatically.

Anyone know how to get the 'good' sound working in the VGA version of LSL1?

My game runs fine, but no matter what I choose in the install for sound - I get an error at the end of installation and the game switches back to default PC speaker sounds and music. Any suggestions?
