You probably need the GUS patches somewhere, and possibly load ULTRAMID. Have you got a patch set loaded and pointed the ULTRASND variable to it?

Gravis is disabled by default on DOSBox 0.73 (don't ask me why). To change the config file, there's a shortcut in the start menu. To fix it, edit the config file and set "gus=true" rather than the default "gus=false".

That looks quite cool, but I think the inter-eye distance is a bit too large. In that screenshot, the images are so far apart that I found it difficult to focus properly until I moved an extra 5 ft. away from my monitor.

They can be sold anywhere. eBay is one of several good places to find old games.

Unfortunately, it is often quite pricey: such as on eBay. There's one listed for $5 there but you can bet it'll be much more than that when the auction is over in 3 days. I'm sure if you look around you can find some place cheaper.

Unlike its predecessor TES:Arena, TES:Daggerfall is not freeware. Get an official copy of the game (not some file you download somewhere) and try with that.

You can't. That's what it's trying to tell you... It's telling you the problem: don't try to run this game In DOS or DOSBox. Blindly entering more commands in DOSBox isn't going to change that. So close DOSBox and just run the setup file directly from Windows explorer. If that refuses to run it ( …

The answer is pretty obvious, as the message states it literally: the program needs to be run in Windows. It is not a DOS program. DOSBox is intended to run DOS programs, not Windows programs (although it is possible to install Windows 3.1 inside DOSBox).

Please don't resurrect year old threads for this. There's been some discussion lately and Pulseaudio does appear to have some problems. Have you tried disabling it?

I'm a bit surprised at your mountings. Why not start at C (and why mount a separate drive for each game, for that matter?). Maybe these games actually have a problem with drive letters above G.

For a buck, you can't go far wrong anyway. I thought it was a pretty good game.
Re: Problems with ansi.sys - Help wanted

If you need all the functionality of ansi.sys, why not just boot real DOS inside DOSBox? Or use a virtualisation product such as VirtualBox or MS Virtual PC etc?

Under DOSBox 0.73, if it fails to run, use cputype=386_prefetch. Unfortunately, you won't be able to use the dynamic core. Apparently, the patch (V E1.23) also doesn't suffer from this. It is being investigated.

Just out of curiosity... did this happen with the default memsize of 16 as well? DOSBox does give a message that memory sizes above 31MB are not recommended. It even puts "NOT" in caps... The reason for that message is that some programs actually detect *less* memory (sometimes even negative amounts …

In localDrive::FileOpen, there is a line: Copy code to clipboard 1 case OPEN_WRITE:type="rb+"; break; so read operations succeed. Copy code to clipboard 1 case OPEN_WRITE:type="wb"; break; makes the game work. No idea if that is proper DOS behaviour, but it would match the behaviour of the flags, …

The OP is actually the author of these games. He's being told by users that they don't function properly under DOSBox. Cause to investigate, I suppose. (/me fires up his debugger).
Re: Ctrl+click on "new message" icon problem

There's an onclick handler on the rows so you can click outside the links. Annoying when using Ctrl-Click, admittedly (especially on my laptop where there is no middle mouse button).
