I have enabled EMS and the setup (install.exe) does play sound and music properly, but when starting tie the game quits with the error:

Using 2000K of EMS will add more music and speech.
set FILES=30 in your config.sys

My problem is, how do I set the number of files? I didn't find a way how to let doxbox use config.sys settings.

And does anyone know what the EMS error does mean? The Tie setup says I have 16mb EMS and like said before it does play sound/music.

FILES problem - I have a vague memory hearing that the game complains about that when missing some files etc... Not sure.

DOSBOX should provide enough FILES by default.

Hello, I also like to know, how to configure the "old" config.sys entry
Files=100

I try to run a old dos-program, that requires this setting, but it does not run without this setting...

DOSBox should provide enough FILES for almost everything. For those nasty checking apps/games you may need to create a dummy config.sys files at the root of mounted C 😎
