Hi.

I loved Speedball2, and have enjoeyd playing again with Dosbox (on a Linux Desktop). One thing I can't do : save a game, to preserve my enhanced players. The game allways ask a blank game disk, and even configuring a A: drive doesn't suit its needs.

Could anyone help me on this topic ?

Thanks.

\bye

I tried both :

MOUNT A /home/nico/DosBox/Save -t floppy

with .../Save an empty directory, and

IMGMOUNT A /home/nico/DosBox/disk.img -t floppy

with disk.img being a 1.44Mo disk image built with mtools. None of this making any difference.

Hmm. You are doing it right. Sounds like a problem with DOSBox.
