I have several games of one certain company, that don't work. (e.g., the whole VISION-series from AdGames)

All of these games seems to have a procedure in their enginge using the dos command of writing to the console... (it's a regular .EXE file causing that problem, so it's not a batch command or something similar).

So i always get this error message from DosBox:

"Warning: file creation failed C:\SOMETHING\CON"

Then the program aborts. Any solutions?

No. 🙁 Devices are not properly supported in DOSBOX. Perhaps in a distant future (almost certainly not in the next version).

that filecreating thing has been fixed.
put mirekluza is right. not much concerning devices is supported. Not much use for it either.
