Hi,

I have recently downloaded dos games along with dosbox. I drag the game into dosbox to start the game, but for some games it actually says 'insert disc one' like you would have to do if you originally had the game. Is there anyway of getting around this to play the game without having original discs?

thanks!

If they aren't originals, you won't get any support here. We don't support piracy/abandonware here.

Besides, telling the names would help.

In general, it would be a good thing (tm) if people would throw away their mouse when dealing with old programs. Start DOSBox, no drag-and-drop, just start plain DOSBox, then throw away the mouse and install and run the program. If - by a miracle - the program then can make use of a mouse, you can carefully move the mouse-pointer into the DOSBox window, click, and be happy.
