i have windows 2000 and want to play pinball fantasies or dreams on my pc.
i created a shortcut:
E:\programme\DOSBox-0.60\dosbox.exe -c "mount c e:\dreams" -c "c:" -c "dreams.bat"
the .dat-file calls setsound and then nothing happens...
if i try only the exe it shows the intro of the game and then comes an error message: unable to load pinball

Hi,

Have you tried issueing the commands (mount... etc.) in dosbox itself instead of passing them as arguments ? Does it run then ? Do you get error messages ?
Pinball Fantasies should work (already worked since the 0.58 release), Pinball Dreams may not yet work in 0.60 (I may be wrong here, it works in the latest cvs versions anyway)

To run Pinball fantasies, don't set the number of cycles too high (if you do, the Sound card does'nt get detected and the games seems to hang). Once the sound is detected, you can increase the number of cycles.
