Hello there!

I wonder if anyone has already figured out, how to start Litil Divil?
I already read the stuff about the MSCDEX

But on DosBox.sourceforge MAN-biker posted that it works with him.

Anyone an idea to trick out the MSCEX Problem?

Welcome Draco. Please, if you want me spend time trying to solve your problem, do provide me with a link or two to that MSCDEX problem. I don't feel like trying to search for some random thread - that is your responsiblity.

Ah hell, I don't find the stuff about MSCDEX anymore.

Anyway, I just wanted some hints to get LITIL DIVIL running.
I got it form [removed HOTU]
if you burrow through the mass of subfolders and arjs you can extract the DIVILCD Directory.
If you mount it in DB and install it to a subfolder and after messing around with the .bat files it says.

Litil Divi must be run from the original CD
MSCDEX must be loaded
(or something like this)

Even if i use mount ... -t cdrom it won't work

As I said before, I read some stuff about the problem with games requiring the MSCDEX, but the developers got some problem in solving this.

So please, anyone who managed to run Litil Divil, please tell me how!

Works perfectly fine here. Just mount any directory with -t cdrom to enable
mscdex support, mount the drives for the game, run the setup of the game,
then start the game (1st parameter is the game path including a trailing
backslash).
