dosbox sets files=127 by default
Something else is wrong

This isn't possible, try loadfix and or reducing memory.

See the DOSBox FAQ on this forum. Seems I need to correct the files=100 part.

Erik.

Longshot - maybe the game isn't smart enough to check the variable. Maybe it needs there to be a config.sys with this info in it. Try putting a config.sys files with the line FILES=100 in the root of your games folder (wherever you mounted "c:" as in dosbox) and see if the install shuts up.

I've known games which are that stupid. Then again I used to own games that specifically asked for a certain FILES= amount, and if it was any higher or lower it would crash. It wanted the EXACT number. Odd I've never encountered any resistence through dosbox though.

Anyways, I was trying to get SkyRealms of Jorune: Alien Logic to install and I <em>know</em> that it will run even with this, but I wanna make sure that it will work 100%.

If i get this right, the OP didn't try to play the game yet, so there is no problem. If i'm right with this, then this is one of the strangest requests i read on VOGONS so far. (;

Thanks for the quick reply guys 😄

I see. Thanks again. Since files is already greater than the requirement, I guess there's nothing wrong and it's just the Install not being smart enough to read it right. 🤣

Like I said, I know that the game would run as set, but then again, this is one of the stranger games that I'd played in terms of requirements. Even though I didn't have to mess with the cycles too much (around 7250 worked), it's the first time I've had to use the -ioctrl handle on the mount command for the cd-rom for the game to get to read the CD perfectly.

So just wanted to make sure that I had the right files number. I kinda expected that, since DOSBox is from what I've seen much better then any version of DOS that I've ever had, and the game ran perfectly on Windows 95's DOS.

So anyways, thanks again guys 😄
