Re: SimCity Enhanced CD-Rom Problems

IIGS: Yeah, that's what was tripping me up - forgetting that DOSBOX creates virtual drives. I know that seems fundamental to using DOSBOX, but I totally forgot how it works since the last time I used DOSBOX without a frontend. I'm good now. Jorpho: Thanks - I never knew that. I guess I'll keep using …

Re: SimCity Enhanced CD-Rom Problems

Had a small hiccup when I created the desktop icon, but all I had to do to fix it was: 1) Mount as my DOSBOX C file the full path to the folder that held the SimCity executable (in my case, A:\Video Games\PC\1986-1990\SimCity Enhanced\SIMCITY); 2) Run SCSETUP in DOSBOX and change the video and audio …

Re: SimCity Enhanced CD-Rom Problems

Okay, so I think I figured this out. I think I was getting all turned around because I forgot that what DOSBOX does when you mount a file is create a virtual drive out of whatever file you sent it to. Anyway, here's what I've done so far: 1) Created a folder for the game - A:\Video Games\PC\1986- …

Re: SimCity Enhanced CD-Rom Problems

Thanks, guys... I'm clearly a lot more clueless than I thought. I've always used frontends in the past with DOSBOX, and I think I'm going to have to read up more to fully understand how it works. Meanwhile, yes, the game works, and it's on my external drive. Ripsaw, the image file I've got is …

Re: SimCity Enhanced CD-Rom Problems

Okay, so following ripsaw's suggestion and using the 60 second guide (and I'm going to try to do this with an image file, because I'd really rather not deal with the real disc): 1) Created a folder for the game - A:\Video Games\PC\1986-1990\SimCity Enhanced. 2) Mounted the disc image to my D drive …

Re: SimCity Enhanced CD-Rom Problems

Thanks to both Ripsaw8080 and bellarmine. I have to go to work, but I will try out both of your solutions when I get home. Ripsaw8080, I'm pretty certain one of my attempts to get this game to work did involve keeping the D path as-is. It still didn't work for me. Shrugging. I will try it out again …

Re: SimCity Enhanced CD-Rom Problems

Lol... I thought I DID describe exactly what I tried. I was hoping someone could give me the steps they took to get the game running, rather than my having to describe every failed attempt I made. Well, let me painstakingly go through just one of my many attempts that gave me the exact same results. …

Re: SimCity Enhanced CD-Rom Problems

bellarmine, if you're still around, I definitely want to know. I've done everything to try to get this working, but I get hit with the same problem that GeekGuy described in his step 2. I first tried setting up a shortcut to the game through DOSBOX (yes, I understand the 60 second instructions, and …
