Okay, so I'm trying to run a game in DOSBOX (Ultima 7, if it matters). I have part one and part 2 for it, so I have two files, one named U1, and one named U2. I successfully changed the directory, and when I do "C:\ U1" It says "Illegal action." I was following directions STRAIGHT from the Wiki, and I'm sure I did everything right. Is it because the files for the games are ZIP files? If so, do I just extract them? Or what?

Not sure what you mean. Are these Zips of floppy disks? You could try extracting them to a single folder.

1. Extract the zip files into a folder and put the folder into your C drive just so its easy to find.

2. Mount that folder as the C drive using

mount c c:\folder name

3. Change the Z prompt to C by typing c:

4. Type ultima7 (I believe that is the exe/batch file for the game) and it should run.

Hope this helps. 😀
