Greetings,

Can anyone tell me what my runline will need to be to create a shortcut that will do the following: run DOSBox in fullscreen mode, mount drive C, and run the file BF.BAT? I can't seem to figure out a shortcut that can do all of this. I can get C:\ to mount only if I do not use the -fullscreen command, else it will only take in the command MOUNT without parameters. Can someone tell me what I need to do to get this working? Thanks.

dosbox -c "mount C X:\some\path\to\a\dir" -c "C:" -c "BF.BAT" -fullscreen

Just for the record: Without Qbix, there would not have been a DOSBox....

quote from the readme

dosbox c:\atlantis\atlantis.exe -c "MOUNT D C:\SAVES"
This would mount c:\atlantis as c:\ and run atlantis.exe.
Before it does that it would first mount C:\SAVES as the D drive.

Am I the only one who found the readme straight forward...its not rocket science... 🙄

btw- You should be nicer to those who bring the table in which you eat your food on. Besides, those cans don't bounce themselves up and down 24/7 all by themselves damnit!

Thats why I said bring. Qbix has generously offered his tables for free...otherwise you can go eat your dosgames on the floor.

What are we talking about again? 😳
