In Game fixes (both versions): You will probably crash if you try to use your bow or trigger certain events, to fix this, go the the config menu and click the video card with the X over it (or click right below it you should be able to tell how the option is chosen) It will probably cause some of the game to be a bit jerky (especially the last boss for for me, I didn't try seeing if I could fight him with it enabled though).

I didn't have any sound problems, so I can't give advice on that. Also try to not minimize and maximize too much, while the XP version didn't really give me trouble, the 98 version would randomly throw a tantrum.

In game tips: 'M'-Your map button, if you click on anywhere in the map you can head there, Exceptions with this are: It has to be on the same floor you are on, You cannot cross or enter Water (or use while in water), You cannot use teleporters (but you can walk on them), You can't go to a spot you haven't explored (but it will let you go through a spot you haven't explored), You cannot go ON a staircase, so you must go beside it and then manually enter it, there are a few places where you can't use a map (one in mind) and you will just get a bzzzt sound if you try to open it, just give up on this point. This autorun feature makes the game bearable as you will be doubling back alot to save (or not and regret it) and it is pretty fun to watch it run through a maze.

You can use your numpad keys to move and attack (I got too used to the keypad but this may be easier.

'I' is your inventory, well your potions and teleport crystals and the game pauses when you open this (map pauses game too)

'C' is a menu where you can select equipment, Load, view quest items (not anything in Inventory)

Equipment menu: drag and drop to equip 4 buttons on bottom right: Top two are armor and weapons, bottom two switches between sword and board and 2-hander. Above button are tabs that change for when weapons or armor button is selected:
Weapons:1handers/2handers/bows Armor:Armor/Shield
1-handers have a tan Japanese name in parenthesis "( )" 2h is blue, bows should be obvious.

Gold chunks: Sell them to the gold guy at 1000 a piece, he's up stairs above the graveyard, also as you sell them the armor and weapon vendors improve their selection.

EXPLORE!: Explore everything, it makes autorun more helpful, you don't really need to know what is going on in the story as long as you explore every single block! Also purple shows where people are that you can talk too are. (one exception is when a guy tells you someone was looking for you and downstairs, you have to walk to the stairs (I believe downstairs and to the door to trigger event, as it's not on the map)

TALK: talk to everyone (purple dots on the minimap, this opens cgs events and makes the game more enjoyable IMO. Though I do try to explore before I talk to everyone, Except on the first part I would talk to everyone before you explore upstairs.

IF any of you have played shining force, you will recognize the angel wing (or whatever they call it), it teleports you back to the main city, don't use it accidentally as they are expensive (though you get a decent amount of them running around, I think like .[And playing around with cheat engine, If I used one at the beginning of the game it would basically send me half way through the game to part 2... though honestly I think it would have glitched up if I attempted to play from that point but... just so you know]

SAVING: you save in your bedroom, or somewhere you can sleep, so there are 3! savepoints in the game, and 1 more that is automatic (gives you a choice) in the event before the final boss. SAVE ALOT! at least once per floor if you feel you've cleared it and are ready to move up, save.


Minor Spoiler Tips:
When you first get to an area you can fight monsters in, I would recommend staying with your back to the door that you came in, this way they will keep coming to you one at a time (though generally lined up), and I kept this up til I was level 5, then I could walk around without getting destroyed if they ganged up on me. It also got me used to calculating their distance and how far I could hit them from. (Though this is why I loved the trainer, once I had gotten XP working, I had restarted the game about 4 times, so the xp hack from the trainer was very helpful in relieving my stress).

To get to the final room you need 19 of the 20 fragments, if you have 18 (like I did) you have to go back to the city Talk to the king, multiple times, exit city, then re-enter and you should see someone leaving, the fragment is in the middle of a group of trees. Last one you get automatically.

Monsters disappear (except from the forest and at the end) when you are a certain level above them, such as I believe the starting area clears up at level 8 9 or 10. So if you use the trainer, you will probably have a smooth walkthrough for a large portion of the game.

I was level 70 at the final boss and with the best gear it took me 3 hits to kill him, and still was a long fight. I would not try to fight him if you are below level 60, as it is a very very obnoxious fight. (just keep killing guards and if you get to a point where you can save and you didn't go to a bedroom, save it in an alternate slot.

Keep bothering the female shopkeepers that won't sell to you for an event CG (don't choose just leave) Males will just fight.

When I reupped this to MF, I went through the steps to see how well it works, and I had no issues (I didn't remember the steps so it was a good test). I also found the game crashes a lot less than I may make it seem in the post, I only had 1 or 2 and one of those I'm sure was my fault (toying with cheat engine). I will say there are 2 scenes I can never seem to find... (BTW memories of trying to get this game to work, and the ease my guide makes it for me makes me very proud of this, that I in fact had to say something in my post for the people that apparently read EVERYTHING.)

Но само да попитам. За 9-та точка: този .dll файл ще ми трябва ли на XP? Че нещо не загрях, май се отнася само за Win 7.....

И също така 10-тата точка, това XP Compatibility какво трябва да означава? Не трябва ли след като е инсталирана на XP, да му зададем да е Win 98? Принципно същото се правеше на Command & Conquer Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge. Като отидеше в папката и на иконата на играта нагласяш за Win 98 в Properties.
