Ive been working on a way to get some games that dont work on DosBox yet to run, and ive come across creating a bootable CD. What you do is get a bootable floppy for dos, making sure EMM386 is enabled, and copy to a cd using a cd burner capable of creating bootable CD's. Ive tried it out, but theres one problem: you cant write to a cd, so there is no saving. The only way to save would be to use a floppy, but some games wont let you select the save path. For Win 2000 and XP users, this is the only way, as Dos cannot read to NTFS, unless it was installed with FAT32. However, anyone running Win 95, 98, 98SE can write directly to the hard drive. The main issue would be booting to DOS, either with a bootable disk, or by restarting in DOS in the start menu, and ensuring that EMM386.exe is active in the autoexec.bat file. If anyone has any ideas on how to access NTFS through DOS, not just read, but write as well, please post.
