This may be the wrong forum, but since you give so little info then it's hard to say.Can you play other custom quests in the 2.10?
Did you download the 2.10 and install it to have the program needed to play custom quests?
If so, does the original quest work?
Do you know how to load custom quests into the 2.10?
Can U tell me how to load custom quests into the 2.10?

How to load custom quests in Zelda Classic
1) Double click on zelda-w.exe
2) Press "Enter" to pass the flames.
3) Press "Enter" to pass the Zelda intro screen.
4) register a name, and press enter.
5) press "A" (Alt)
6) Press "A" (Alt) again
7) browse to the quest you want to play, choose it and press "ok"
8) press "Enter" to play.
The above steps assume you have put the custom quest in the folder with Zelda Classic :O)
ZC.com says the Linux version is in testing... is it an open test? Or do you need an invite or something?
I got ZC running on Linux via DOSbox, but it's very very slow. 😞 The music plays fine, but it was running at about 1 frame per second, and I have a 3Ghz CPU. It speeds up at the Quest screen though, but pagefaults when I try to register my name.
Zquest runs fine until it gets to "Reading tiles..." then has a pagefault.
I also tried with dosemu, which ran faster, but it stops at:
Allocating tile buffer (8.00M/16.78M)... Error
Zquest gives an error at the same place.
You know I have been waiting a really long time for this linux version...few weeks my butt...longest few weeks I've ever seen.
You know...for now you could just download a windows emulator and then download the windows version of the game.
Running the Win32 version in wine gives a page fault as well. In cedega it doesn't display properly and you can't make anything out. It also locked up X when I tried to exit.
just a little typo I found while playing with the weapons sprites; the master sword label reads "Sword 3 (Master)"
What exactly is wrong with that label? The labels have been re-worked and alphabetized so like items are together. *shrug* Oh... wait... Master should probably be 4 shouldn't it?
Ya gettin' rusty FCF.😛
I'm downloading the "ZC2.1 For Dummies" since I've never used ZC <_<

Give this a try:
cedega -use-pthreads no zelda-w.exe -- zelda-w.exe -windowed -res 640 480 big That works for me, and the game runs pretty well, considering. Using -fullscreen will give you a corrupted display, but if you hide the window decorations on the 640x480 window and lower the resolution of your X-server, you should do fine. I've found the game needs to be started in a resolution higher than what you pass to the game with -res, or else it will spit out "Resolution not supported."
The best way I've found to deal with this is to start the game in a second X-server (with a windowmanager also running), and then use the windomanager to hide the window decorations. Then switch down to 640x480 and maximize the window, and you'll get your "fullscreen."
I wrote a little script so I might as well post it:
#!/bin/bashZC="cedega -use-pthreads no -use-dos-cwd \
$HOME/.transgaming/c_drive/zeldaclassic-1.92-b183/ \
$HOME/.transgaming/c_drive/zeldaclassic-1.92-b183/zelda-w.exe -- \
zelda-w.exe -windowed -res 640 480 big"
X_DISPLAY=":2"
XORG_CONFIG="xorg.conf.800x600_640x480"
X="/usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp"
YOUR_FAVORITE_WM="/usr/X11R6/bin/startfluxbox"
$X $X_DISPLAY -xf86config $XORG_CONFIG &
export DISPLAY=$X_DISPLAY
$YOUR_FAVORITE_WM &
$ZC
# There has got to be a better way to do this:
for pid in `ps aux | grep ${XORG_CONFIG} | awk '{print $2}'`; do
kill $pid
done
exit
If the game runs insanely fast (you get ridiculously high framerates), try turning Vsync on and then back off again. I don't know why this works at all. If you turn Vsync back on, you'll be back to 400+ FPS. 😊
I just got ZC 1.92 beta 183 working using the above method. (I had been trying for quite some time 😉). ZC 2.10 also starts and runs, but I get no sound. In allegro.log I've got:
Initializing sound driver... Sound driver not available. Sound disabled.It's not perfect and a bit of a pain, but at least it will give us something to play with until the linux build gets released. I first downloaded ZC back in the 1.84 days, and was therefore understandably quite pleased to finally get it running on my linux box. 😊
teirh
Hey guys, it seems like it's been ages since i've used ZC (I downloaded v1.91 in like 2001 or 2002), and since then I've switched to Mac, I was just wondering if that Mac version is going to be up and running any time soon.
Yeah there is a mac beta version out. It is really buggy and unstable though.
teirh, -use-pthreads isn't a valid option for me, but I tried without and now it works. Thanks.
I have no sound either though.
Zquest also runs, but the window is very small (about 1/8th of my screen).
do you have to use cegeda to run ZC & ZQ?
I need a linux build to have it om my own linux installation... (don't have the money for cegeda)
EDIt: It seems that linux users like using John Crichton (SP?) Av's...
enigma_0Z wrote:do you have to use cegeda to run ZC & ZQ?
As far as I know, that is the only viable option, until the linux build is released.
I tried running it in regular wine and had no luck. You could always try it, though.

Well (hopefully) the linux build should be released soon...
I cant seem to get the installer to work. Every time I start it up it stops and tells me "error opening file for writing"
I have downloaded all 4 zip files and unzipped them in the same folder. Z quest gives me an error and says to press a key when I try to run it. The main game starts up fine. When I get to the name registration screen it fades to really dark and doesnt let me set up a name. It does however let me use the escape button and if I press up or down i can hear the cursor moving sound.
Do I need other versions of Zelda Classic to run this one(I used to have it on my other computer but it stopped working and all attempts to revive it failed so I stopped playing.
ok, stooooopid question time, I think I went thru all the threads and couldn't find anything, unless I missed it. Can I make the 2.10 window any bigger? I'm playing shattered courage right now, and it's like playing it on a gameboy it's so small. can I enlarge it? I know it's probably a dumb question. thanks :shrug:
You can make it fullscreen, actually. Open your ZC folder, right-click either zelda.exe, or the Zelda MS-Dos shortcut created by opening zelda.exe, and click Properties. Go to the program tab, and in the "Cmd line" box, either remove '-windowed' from the end of the line, or if it's not there, add '-fullscreen' without the quotes. Hit Ok at the bottom of the window, then open whichever file you just edited, and it SHOULD be full-screened.

All's I can say about myself is, ummm, DUH. 😛oke: Thanks for your help! I was standing in the wrong line when they were passing out smart directions!! I was standing in the beauty and charm aisle, in fact, I'm still here!! :whap:
So no one is going to help me out.
I'd try to help, but I don't really know what to tell you. Did you try installing version 1.92 again, since you said you had that working before?
Yeah I tried to reinstall ver. 1.92 it didnt help it couldnt load the main 1st quest and Zquest didnt work. I tried the next earliest version it also couldnt load the 1st quest and doesnt appear to have a quest editor.
hi im not sure if this is the right place for this but for people who experience
midi music notes being stuck or played repetitivly could fix this problem by copying
zcmusic.dll from zelda classic 1.92b184_win32 to their zelda classic 2.10win32 folder
this apeard to fix my problem

Somebody Help Me?.......!!! I Forgot To Say That I Had Xp............
is there any way i can move my save file to another version? i've got a savegame in 2.10 and can i just copy the .sav file into a zc 1.90 directory on another computer?
for you I HEART DOTS: you need to be able to write into the root directory of whatever drive you're playing on. so if you installed into c:\zelda you need to have write access to c:\ .
either play as administrator or try this hack:
start->run, type
SUBST K: your zc folder
(you can pull your folder from explorer into the run box)
wait 5sec. then open my computer. see the new drive k:? double click and enjoy !
First of all, I would like to thank everyone who was involved with creating this program and providing it to all of us. This is awesome. I just started messing with the tutoral. The one question I have is about the music. Is there any way to turn up the volume for the overworld music. All of my sound effects are loud, but the music is very low in the background. When I turn up my speakers, I can hear the music better, but then the sound effects are extremely loud. Sorry if that is a dumb question, but if anyone can help me out I would appreciate it. Thanks.
