Daggerfall Unity Fixes lots of bugs and (un)fortunately also removes the easy exploits (maybe those were bugs as well?) the original Daggerfall had.

Use a file manager or terminal to delete all files in ~/dosprogs/PAL_DIR/DISK1 and copy the contents of the next disk there. After that press CTRL-F4 in DOSBox to update the directory cache.

There is a pause command in DOSBox. By default it's triggered with [Left Alt] + [Pause] key combination.

Wut? "Put in the conf of appdata", what does that mean? You added that text in the conf-file itself? You're supposed to pass the arguments to DOSBox.exe. Make a new shortcut for DOSBox.exe or create a batch script.

i've done it but it doesn't work, dosbox keeps creating a conf in appdata and doesn't use the one in the folder... That's what the -userconf parameter should do except that the -conf parameter should load the second conf-file. Without knowing exactly what you've done, what's in your conf-file(s) …

Re: VIDEO CARD Custom S3 Trio Patch (DOSBOX)

First you checkout the DOSBox source. Then on Linux you'd do something like this: patch -p0 < custom-vga-s3.patch On Windows you could use TortoiseSVN GUI -> apply patch. This patch was created in 2013 so it probably won't apply to the current SVN source. You can try solving conflicts manually or …

When you press [3], the menu goes to the xed label. For some reason the xed program fails to start, then the menu execution continues to the ovrkill label. And apparantly Overkill fails to start as well. Finally the execution continues to the exit label and DOSBox quits. You probably want to add …
