Let's play Wizardry VII: Crusaders of the Dark Savant. Using MIDI music and the correct sound effects.

CRPG Dabble: Casually playing some older CRPG games with no plans to finish them. I'm not saying I won't complete one of these, but the expectation is I play for a while, get bored, and move on to the next one.

Please feel free to give me some pointers, tell me what I missed, or anything else that comes to mind, including game suggestions. I prefer party based CRPG's and graphics have to be tolerable.

Programs used to record this game:

Grid Cartographer 4: http://gridcartographer.com/

Custom DOSBox (R17): http://gridcartographer.com/download/

Edit the DOSBox config file and add the following line after PCSpeaker=TRUE
wizpopfix=7

Run Wizardry and go into configuration. Make sure sounds are set to PC Speaker instead of Sound Blaster. Music can be left as Sound Blaster.

The above fixes the PC Speaker sound by removing pops along with providing a custom video overlay to send video to Grid Cartographer. Soundblaster effects do not work correctly so for the best effect sound use the PC Speaker setting with either this DOSBOX version or the the Auto mapper version below.

AutoMap DOSBOX mod: https://www.moddb.com/mods/wizardry-7-automap-mod

This doesn't support Grid Cartographer but does have the built in PC Speaker pop removal.

CoolSoft MIDIMapper (needed for WIndows 10 MIDI support): https://coolsoft.altervista.org/en/midimapper

Never has a game been as true to authentic fantasy role playing. Never has a game had four different beginnings. Never has a game been so vast.

-Forever
Forever true to the most acclaimed fantasy role-playing simulation ever, the sequel to Bane of the Cosmic Forge. Forever beautiful graphics and sound - indoors and out. Forever in the tradition of... Wizardry

About me:

My name is Mark and I'm a middle aged (old) gamer doing let's plays of games I'm playing, some old and some new. I've found that recording and sharing game play video is fun, and makes the games I play even more enjoyable. This is a hobby for me with my goal to record whatever I'm playing and share the results. I'll play 7 days a week if I have time, but unfortunately some weeks will be slower than others.

I do hope you find these videos enjoyable! Comments are more than welcome, especially tips if I've done something stupid (which is most of the time). Likes and subscribes are always appreciated!
