You are mounting c:\omf as root folder. 😎 That's why it isn't working. Try this:

- mount c c:\
- cd omf
. etc ...

Did you try adjusting frameskipping and cpy cycles? Read the readme file and manual. CTRL-F7 CTRL-F8 and CTRL-F11 CTRL-F12

If you were stupid just by for not having read the documentation, half of the world would be stupid too. 😁

you actually should blame the developpers by not making it clear that you should read the documentation

Maybe some exit if people don't read it 😀 Like in eggdrops 😀

That would amuse me substantially.

Yes, it’s my fault.

why should we blame the developers? People should know that when all else fails, read the instructions.

That's quite ilogical, doesn't it. It should be the opposite way? First, read the DOCUMENTATION; it all else fails, blame the developers. 😁

What if they put a message in the program?

"Please press the key hidden into the documentacion to continue..."

I guess it would be done only the first time you install the program (to avoid stressing users)... at least they must read the docs UNTIL they find the key (don't put it on the last page, it seems so obvious...).

Midway down the README:
Oh, by the way, you have to type "idiots don't rtfm" in order to run DOSBox. 😜

Yes, it’s my fault.
