Hi from Germany!

My problem is, that I can`t run Nobunaga`s Ambition II with DOSBox 0.63.
Is anybody out there who knows how to run or who has some experience with this great game ?
I just see the Intro and if want to skip it with "enter" then this appears:

"read open err A:KAODATA.DAT"

What can I do?

It is looking for the file KAODATA.DAT on drive A (a diskette).

Please read the ReadMe and/or the Wiki to learn how to create/make available a diskette in DOSBox.

thanks for your reply.
i did, for sure.
so i wrote in dosbox.exe:

mount C C:/oldgames (that`s where dosbox and my oldgames are)
mount A C:/oldgames/nobu2/a (it`s the folder for disk a)
mount B C:/oldgames/nobu2/b (it`s the folder for disk b)
A:/keyb gr (german keyboard)
A:
koei (necessary for starting the game)

Do you see any misstakes?

Hmm.. Instead of start the game directly (with "koei"), check if there is an extra program pn A: for configuring sound. It may be called sound.bat, sound.com, setup, or something.

If you find it, make sure that when it ask you for stuff like IO-address, DMA-address, IRQ-number, etc, etc, that you reply with the same values that is listed in the dosbox.conf file in your DOSBox program directory.
