EDIT: This post refers to the 7th Guest.

In case anyone is interested, here is how you can get the GOG version of the game to run in DOSBox, without getting the "Insert CD" message.

_ After installing, open the GROOVIE.INI file and locate the following lines

ProgDir=C:\id\t7g\
DataDir=D:\t7g\

Change both to the folder where you installed the game, as mounted on DOSBox. Remember, that DOS had a maximum 8 character length for directory names, so if you installed it in "The 7th Guest", you'll have to refer to that folder as THE7TH~1.

_ If you get a sound card error message, run install.exe (using DOSBox) and change the sound and music to something that works for you. General MIDI and Sound Blaster worked for me. Running install.exe however seems to change the DataDir path back to its default, so remember to change it again, as explained above.

_ Run t7g.bat to launch the game.

For real?

NICE!

Will try this on my DOS retro PC :)

I tried it myself but couldn't get it to run, so well done :D

EDIT: Seeing it uses D: is there a CD/DVD image in play? Because during the introduction the game plays CD Audio music.

EDIT EDIT: Sweet it runs on my DOS PC now :D

I will try tomorrow to create an Audio CD with the OGG files converted to WAV. Then it might play the music during the intro.
