First off ill say a BIG hello to every one on this forum as its my first post, and im happy to be here amoungst all you DOS game lovers 😊 Its a pleasure i must say.

Secconly ill say that i know how to use dosbox, because i got Little Big Adventure 1 working on it 100% fine.

But with this game Terror From The Deep i cant seem to get it working... ok my steps are:

>mount c "C:\old games"
>mount k K:\ -t cdrom -usecd 2 -ioctl
>K:\
>K:\install
(Installs game to C:\Terror)

C:\terror> Terrorcd

From here the game should run, but it just reverts Dosbox back to its loading screen. After installing it says to type terror to run the game, but when i type that in, it does nothing... Just makes a new line, doesnt even say illigal command. Im guessing that its not a Win32 game, because from my computer C:\old games\terror i click on "Terror.exe" and it says that its not compatable with win 32

I have no idea, any feed back would be great guys!

Try mount D K:\ -t cdrom -usecd 2 -ioctl.
And why the 2 ?

I have 2 cdroms in my computer, and what i read by the readme was that i replace the yellow number with how many drives i have in my computer... Non the less it worked with my other game so that wouldent be the problem.

(my mistake by the way, i was supposed to put H as my cdrom drive instead of K)

I tryed what you suggested... (as my cdroms are I and H) i typed >mount I H:\ -t cdrom -usecd 2 -ioctl but it still diddnt work. Just mounted I by itself without adding H

It says "Directory doesnt exist"

Note: I've partishiond my hard drive into 5 parts

Drives: C D E F J (J sawp file, E game file, D is download file, and i think it says that it doesnt exist, because im trying to mount it as a cdrom)

Dvdroms (cdroms): H I
