This BBs was recommended to me, so I figured I'd give it a try. I have been hit with a bit of nostalgia and want to load and play my old Magic Carpet games on my newer PC.
The games are:
Magic Carpet
Magic Carpet Plus
Magic Carpet 2
I have installed dosbox v. 0.62 and the dfend software.
I am getting the following message: "error creating setup directories"
I followed the following suggested directions to set up the games:
1) open a profile for editing and make sure "close dosbox on exit" is unchecked
2) Check the mounts and make sure they're set up properly; check "use ioctl" if Windows XP is used
3) Make sure you have enough cycles...Magic Carpet is a newer game; I guess 15000 cycles or 10000 cycles should work
4) try the normal core or dynamic core
5) make sure video card is set to VGA
I did all of the above and tried either 15000 or 10000 cycles but had no success. I could get to the opening screen of Magic Carpet Plus but, it would shut down and back to the dosbox screen without starting up.
Has anyone had any experience with an error like this? Are there any dosbox settings I can try to get these old games to play on a newer system?
Ands finally, should I even try?
Thanks for your responses 😀
