Hi all.
I am new of this forum.
I have some problems with Star Tre V by Mainfield (1989).
On the dosbox site I have seen that it is completely supported by dosbox, but I can't start it:
at the initial menu, when the game asks me the game level, this message appears:

"Please instert 5.25 Disk #3 or 3.5 Disk #3.
Hit any key to continue..."

And I can't go on...!!!! 🙁

Can You help me?
I love this game, it reminds me when I was 9 year old...!!!
May the problem be related to the fact that I have a Mac? (the dosbox version is the latest).
Thanks in advance and the best regards

Herger

well, give us your mountings. And where do you install it from? I don't know this game, but it seems that it originally came on floppy disks, so you would just need to change disks... 😀
If you downloaded the game and it now gives you problems on installing, please take your problem to the site you downloaded it from.

Hi!
Thanks for Your quick reply.
Ok: I instaled the games in pc_games in my /home.
Starting dosbox I put

mount c home/user/pc_games

the mounting is ggod and in c: I find all the directories with all the games.
Then I launch st5 and the problem is there.
If You like, You can fine the game here, just to try:

[removed]

I think it is an "abandoned" game

Thanks and regards

freeware games are ok here, abandonware is not ok, since we like to keep this forum clean of stuff that is not legal (mind, that not everything that common sense says is ok, is legally ok).
