Hi all,
I just discovered the joys of DOSbox and have copied all of my old DOS games into a file on my C: drive. All of them seem to work fine using the defaults except for one of them.
My system is a Micron. Intel 3.2 MHz with a PCI video adapter. Running Windows XP. Don't know much else about it. I don't think the system is the problem however.
The game I'm trying to run is "Future Magic - Sentinel Worlds". The game seems to start OK, because the box opens and the low-res message shows up saying "Please Insert Game Disk", and "Press Enter When Ready".
This tells me the program is running, but is now looking for a file.
I am able to get the game running using the floppy disks. I have to swap back and forth between the Data disk and Game Disk around in the A: drive.
The game disk simply has nothing in the root directory, and has only one directory on it called FMPLAY, which contains with the executable file, and a few others.
The Data disk has nothing but a directory called FMDAT with no executables in it.
I don't recall if these files are saved from an installation or not!!! They aren't original disks, and I don't have the original documentation. But like I said, it can be played from the floppies just fine.
Question: How do I tell the program to look for the needed Game Disk files on my C: drive? I've tried copying all the files from both floppies into a single folder on my C: drive, but I still get the "Please Insert Game Disk" message.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!!!
