How good is the Dragon Knight series, where to get walkthroughs?

[gbapalyer]

and how do i operate the run button with my keyboard? it said disk image ok and then the screen is blue and on the bottom there are the options: color, auto, goto, list, run

[SuperDeadite]

Put disk A in, rest machine, game boots itself.  If you want English, Dragon Knight 3 was released in the USA on PC as "Knights of Xentar."  The translation is decent for it's time, but 3 really builds off 1 and 2.  Lots of characters you are supposed to remember, and you won't if you don't play the first 2 games before.

it does not work..i think iam to stupid. it says disk ok, if i click enter then comes syntax error. which version of bluemsx should i download and where to find the roms that work? it would be great if someone could pm me about this or maybe post in this thread.

Use these roms.  It's a Sanyo MSX2+ system rom set.

[gbapalyer]

help? i need a working blue msx and working roms of dragon knight 1 msx....

i dont know what to dow with the download package...

[gbapalyer]

@arkhan: can you help me?

[SuperDeadite]

all you do is load the emulator, then put disk a in drive 1, then "power on" or "reset" the emulator.  That's really it.  But again, I'd recommend the X68000 version over the MSX version.  Cause MSX DK1 doesn't have music.  Just a few sound effects here and there.  The X68k's music isn't the best, but it has actual music at least.

[gbapalyer]

ok i did so but why does it still not work?^^

it says disk ok and if i push "enter" there comes syntax error...

which emulator did you use with which roms? i have 4 disk datas for DK1.

is there also a good x68000 emulator out there?

[Emerald Rocker]

I agree that X68000 is the version to play for Dragon Knight 1.  Unfortunately, the disk image for DK1 that's floating around on the internet is screwed up -- disk 2 doesn't work.  I played through the game on a real X68 (before it exploded).

[SuperDeadite]

MSX DK1 is 4 disks.  You put the A disk in the first drive, and switch them when the game tells you to.  DK2 MSX supports dual drives, but I can't remember if the first games does or not. 

For X68000 emulation, "XM6 High Speed" is the one to use.  But I stick to my real machine, so I have little experince with it besides testing a few disk images i've personally dumped.

So it came?

PCE is the most best version of the game that is non-computer class, with voices,
smooth graphics, etc. However your living in censor land. The X6800 is a beautiful
workstation, and that is what you are playing. For space, and sanity I would get the
PCE, game. However if you want nook, nook etc then check out the computer game.

I recently picked up Dragon Knight III for the PCE and it's been a lot of fun so far.  I tried to play it without the use of a walkthrough, but ended up getting stuck.  I had to find an old hermit that was at the end of  a secret passageway, who would give me a magic mirror that would allow me access into one of the nearby dungeons.  

So I found a great walkthrough on gamefaqs, under the game name "Knights of Xentar": http://db.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/knights_of_xentar_b.txt

It's helped me progress pretty far into the story and even showed me a couple of things I missed.

[SuperDeadite]

Xentar is DKIII, but there's a lot of differences, as the PCE game is a remake by NEC Avenue.  It's a good basic guide, but a lot of stuff, like Luna's spell gathering doesn't exist in the PCE version.

Good to know!
