How do you mount the game after Installation?

If for example you mount c c:\dosgames (never mount just c:)
mount d d:\

Install the Game, and when You start the Game make certain that you use the same mounts.

Or a better Idea would be to make a ISO outoff the CD , I use Isobuster without problems, Just make a raw dump

and mount it with "imgmount d c:\dosgames\cd\fshock.iso"

The Terminator: Future Shock CD shouldn't have a "future_shock" folder so disregard that stupid "how-to" guide you found

If you look at your CD which i'm sure you have, it'll tell you to type:

D: <enter>
INSTALL <enter>

The rest is self-explanatory. Please go through the install process instead of directly copying files so the game knows where to find the appropriate paths.

The only DOSBox related help you just need is mounting a C: for your drive (use a folder) and a D: for your CD-ROM. Personally I put the appropriate mounting lines on the end of the dosbox.conf file for ease

Dear leileilol
ok i see that on the cd.

I open up dosbox.
type:
MOUNT d: than press enter

it came up saying
usage MOUNT Drive-Letter Local- Directory
Fore example: MOUNT c d:\dosprogs
this makes the directory d:\dosgroups act as the C: inside DOSBox.
the directory has to exist.

Can explain what im spose do?
the only guide i read was off wiki but dat got me no were.
unless i use C:

appreciate it

Read the readme and the guide I posted the link to. In the readme pay attention to the autoexec part.

What exactly is the problem? Just mount the same directories that you mounted when you installed the game. (It has to be exactly the same directories - if you mounted C:\Games or whatever as drive C when you installed the game, then you need to mount C:\Games as drive C, not some subdirectory like C:\Games\SHOCK. And if the game checks for the CD, then you'll need to mount the drive for the CD as well.)

As you already said, you just need to put the relevant lines in the autoexec section.

Your posts are kind of hard to understand.

No, I don't, really. Why do you need to install the game again every time? There is no reason you should need to do this.
