Hi everyone! New to the forums and DOSBox too. I used Search, and although I could find something similar to my problem, I'm too much of a noob to figure the rest out by myself. Spare me, I have yet to experience some of the finest things in life.

I downloaded Crusader: No Remorse and Crusader: No Regret from the-underdogs. I think I managed to get DOSBox working okay, so that shouldn't be a problem. What is, that when I try to use install.exe to install either of the games, it says this:

Unable to open file idata/fonts.dat, in file FILE\FASTFLEX.C, line 38

I read something about setting xms=true in an another thread concerning this game, but how do I exactly true it? And will it be any help in my case?

I'd so much love to once again play these two games. Any help is appreciated.

I think you need to do something like this
mount c pathofcrusader
mount d pathofcrusader -t cdrom
