Ancient Art of War at Sea uses a key disk system. When running the game from hard drive, I have to insert the original game disk in the floppy drive A:.
I'm using this command string if I want to run in Tandy mode and get 16 colors instead of just 4 CGA colors:
dosbox c:\Dosgames\aaws\wast.exe -c "mount a a:\ -t floppy" -conf dosbox.conf -fullscreen -machine tandy -noconsole
I've also tried the following, to just get 4 CGA colors:
dosbox c:\Dosgames\aaws\was.exe -c "mount a a:\ -t floppy" -conf dosbox.conf -fullscreen -machine auto -noconsole
When I run one of those lines, I see the floopy drive being accessed, but then 'ERROR' appears on my screen and quits.
any ideas? thanks.
