This sounds like it could be a file permission issue. Could you give all accounts that you want accessing Pinball Fantasies read and write access to its directory, and save/temp files? That may alleviate your problem.

Looks as though you're trying to mount c:\dosgames as c:\ in dos box, yet the batch file is still looking for things under the c:\dosgames tree, try simply mounting c:\ as the C drive in Dos Box and give that a whirl.

I'm curious. Has there been any plans for an ALSA driver version of Munt, in the veign of Tristan's modified release of Canadacow's driver? I'd personally be more interested in that, than I might be with just a version of it in ScummVM, as having it more independant from programs makes it much more …

You could try throwing a dummy config.sys file into the root directory of the mounted drive, which contains files=127 in it, to see if that fools the game into believing the proper number.

Have you tried running loadfix before running wc2? Check the games compatibility section on the Dosbox website.

As with 0.61, on Slackware Linux 10.0, running X11R6.7.0, with an MGA G550, I'm still seeing a segfault when I try and use overlay support, and DosBox keeps falling back to surface when I try and use opengl or openglnb. If you need a backtrace on that overlay problem, I'll run a search through the …

does DOS4GW.EXE exist in the directory with blood? If not, you can always get Dos/32A (Look under the Breakthrough with STTNG: A Final Unity) thread, and copy the DOS32A.EXE executable to DOS4GW.EXE, or find a copy of DOS4GW.EXE with another program (DOOM/DOOM2 come to mind as places to find a copy …

LPT1 in DOS is a device file, which redirects to the first parallel port of the computer. Currently this is unsupported. WinXP is reverting them back to 'New Folder' to avoid conflicts and confusion.

None is simply that - No scaling. Normal2x is a nearest neighbor technique, as far as I can see. Advmame, as priestlyboy says, is a slight modification on the scaling algorithm that AdvanceMAME uses.

Try running 'loadfix' before running runaway city, see if that helps. This is the same error code that Wing Commander 2 spat out at me when dealing with Origin's strangeness, it might be a similar problem.

I happen to really agree with you. I used to use automount/autofs, but it got to be such a hassle in the idea that the directories did not appear until accessed, therefore it was a pain to use with most GUI programs, and Dos Box wouldn't acknowlege it at all, which made supermount the much easier …
