I have Chewy ESC from F5 in bin/cue format.
I don't know how to play it. I managed to start few other games that are not bin/cue format. I have read the readme but I still can't to start the game. What I need to do?

I tried:
mount d e:\chewy -t cdrom
and it looks like it works.
Then
d:
d:setup.exe
and installer begins.
I choose install.
and it says I have not enough space on my disk ????

and also tryed to mount it like folder.
mount c c:\etc.
and then when I run installer and choose drive c which is only drive I am able to choose.
It says that it does not exist.
I don't know what else to try.

thanks for helping me out

60 Seconds Guide to DOSBox.

If that doesn't help, come back with details on how you mounted your C and D drives, how you did the install, how you configured sound, music etc.

Well. I am confused.
This is the situation.
I have bin/cue files and I mounted them with dDaemon tool as drive G. Now The game is not installed. I cannot start the setup in windows cause it is DOS game.

On that link you posted how to start if you already have game folder but I don't have it.

So how am i gonna install it in DOSbox on my real drive?

How?

Presuming you're a windows user you could try it with the explorer.

What I am gonna put in that folder?

Nothing.

Did you actually READ the posting that MiniMax told you? What about step 1?

What is about saving a game?
How ma I gonna load the game after saving?

Thank you very much

EDIT: And one more question, the last one.
Do I need to install the game again every time I want to play it?

I think I understand now.
I need to create empty folder and mount it as drive c and mount cd as drive d. and it will install the game on that empty folder. Am I right?

Yep. And, since you already have a CUE-image, you can bypass Daemon Tools and mount the image directly in DOSBox:

mount D "P:\ath\to\where\your\image\is\filename.cue" -t iso

instead of

mount D "G:" -t cdrom

Edit: Yep = Yes.

well you have to find that out yourself.
the game probably has a menu entry called save somewhere.
(try pressing escape or the F5 button(

No, but many times it is necessary to mount the D-drive. Many games likes to check that the user has the CD, and is not running an illegal copy. So they check the D-drive for that.

Also, many games don't install everything onto the C-drive. Music, movies, and other stuff are often read from the D-drive.

Read the last part of my 60 seconds guide, where it says "If you have more than 60 seconds to spare....".
