I'm new to DOSbox, so I need some help here. I mounted the C directory I had my game in and got everything to work fine and dandy. I had my game, Master of Magic, and the DOSbox prompt said C:\MASTER, which was good, but then I typed MAGIC to play the game but it keeps saying I have to type INSTALL to configure it. I have configured it 986 times and everytime I can never start the game - please help me. Also, if there is another way to run the game easier with say, another program, lemme know, heh. Thank you.

Are you using floppy or CD version? If you are using the CD version you need to mount your CDROM drive as well as the game directory. I got this going last night using mount d d:\ -t cdrom -label mpsmagic._cd

I am new to DOSBox as of last night so this is the only answer I have right now. The CD label may be different depending on what you have, but I would guess that there is a 99% chance it will be the same.

Oh also, btw....sound didn't work so well once I got it going, but when i ran the install/configuration utility and switched from SBPro to the regular SoundBlaster, it worked fine.
