How do I get bioforge to run?
running the bioforge.bat file from C: gives me subst errors in dosbox. If I try running bioforge.exe from A: I get a message saying I don't have enough disk space.
Supposedly it's possible to get this game running because other people have said it runs slow, I would like to just be able to get it started. Any help would be appreciated.
Running dosbox 0.62 on Fedora.
be sure the subst thingie uses:
syntax like this:
subst c: localtion
(note the :
Water flows down the stream
How to ask questions the smart way!
Qbix:
Here is the BAT file contents:
@echo off
subst a: /d
subst a: .
a:
bioforge.exe
c:
subst a: /d
echo on
DOSBox reports an error for every subst command given:
Removing drive not supported. Doing nothing.
SUBST failed. You either made an error in your commandline or the target drive is already used.
It's only possible to use SUBST on Local drives
You can mount the directory bioforge resides in as a:
(sth like mount a c:\games\bioforge) and start it with
bioforge.exe (from a:), or better remove the .bat-files
and start it/run install as normal.
