Hi guys,

I am trying to get Riddle of Master Lu to work. I succeded to do the installation within a DoxBox but once I close the box, the game is gone, naturally. So how can I copy the installed game onto my "real" hard drive, so I can continue playing next time?

DOSBox only ever installs to your hard drive unless you installed to a hard drive image.

Post exactly how you mounted your directories and how you installed the game.

Most likely you just forgot where you mounted it and didn't remount the folder when you started DOSBox again.

You're right, I finally found the installation folder and can go from there. I was under the impression that whatever happens inside the dosbox stays on a virtual drive and never actually connects to the real drive. Sorry for being stupid.
