Bought dosbox turbo to play daggerfall, installed fine and I was playing it with everything working, but then when I tried to open it later I get error 0. Seen lots of people saying they have the same problem but still no solution has been provided. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

DOSBox turbo isn't supported here. So ask whomever coded it for support and if you acquired Daggerfall illegally then ask whever you got it from for support.

For error 0 make sure you are mounting your folders correctly, installing daggerfall correctly and relaunching DOSBox with the same paths as you mounted previously.

Daggerfall is freeware, download is available from Bethesda website.

If it's from Bethesda then you are good. To verify it's not a dosbox turbo issue try it in the regular version of dosbox. If you have the same error in both then likely you are doing something wrong.

Only if a problem is reproducible in DOSBox or the SVN we can help, otherwise we can not.
At this point you should ask the guys who created 'DOSBox Turbo' for a solution.

I've just seen so many people with the exact same issue but no ones ever solved it, which really surprises me. thanks anyway.

Well I can confirm its not a DOSBox/SVN issue, because it works here fine here. What also came to mind is that since you are running on a mobile platform. ARM is not X86. So there is probably some extra code translation or emulation required, but I'm no expert on the subject.

In conclusion this problem will not be solved here, simply because we cannot reproduce the problem. That would suggest the problem lies with DOSBox Turbo and not with the DOSBox code it is using. However, there are more mobile DOSBox forks out there.

Good luck, I hope you find a solution.
