Hi all, i have a game called Wing Nuts from Rocket Science Games that runs only from cdrom and when i execute setup.exe it just create a directory on drive C: and saves a .ini file in there. I'm new with DOSBox and i dont know how to configurate it, somebody could give me a hand?

Thanks is advance.

Read my 60 Seconds Guide to DOSBox (and don't just read it - follow it too).

If that doesn't help, come back with details on how you mounted your C and D drives, how you did the install, how you configured sound, music etc.

Reading the aptly named README file will be a good idea too.

These are the configurations i did:

mount d d:\ -t cdrom
mount c c:\Teste
setup.exe: runs well
wingnuts.exe: Fatal error: clock malfunction in disk calibration

mount d d:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0
mount c c:\Teste
setup.exe: runs well
wingnuts.exe:

In the last 2 configurations the errors may vary, causing sometimes the same as 1st exemple.

If you try with fixed cycles you will probably get rid of this but in the past there have been posts about rocket science games not working with the error message "cdrom thread went to sleep".

Only setup.exe ? No install.exe ?
