Explain what the folder C:\games\megara~1\megara~1 is.

these are two folders. they are named same. megara~1 is the shorted form named by dosbox. the second folder contains the games files. i just pathed through to game files.

MS-DOS only has 8.3 character file/directory names.

Install the game using DOSBox.

are u joking me? i used dosbox .. u can read this and see it in my pictures. i tooked photos of all i did. this is ridiculous, plz read exactly and give a constructive answer.

Constructive answer:

Actually Buy the game that is already packaged with DOSBox

Yes, that's all quite obvious. I was looking for more of an explanation as to why you've done it this way instead of using the CD, or an image of the disc, or neglected to mount anything as a cdrom.

Issues 1:
Megarace is a CD game, but you are apparently running it's content from a directory.

Issue 2:
mega1.jpg: Shows install to C:\mega2
meg3.jpg: Shows install to C:\games\mega
...so I have no idea how you set it up.

Issue 3:
mega5.jpg: Shows the game looking for C:dos4gw.exe. It's trying to find the DOS4gw.exe on what it thinks is the CD (i.e. that would normally read D:dos4gw.exe, where D: would be a CD-ROM), but is actually a hard disk (refer issue 1).

Most of the above point to you using a pirated copy of the game, rather than the original CD, which is why you should not expect to get constructive feedback here.

@SKARDAVNELNATE
i was referring to dosfreak´s comment before. not to yours 😀.

@kolano
i downloaded a copy from internet. acutally i own the original megarace 2, i buyed it before years. its somewhere in the house, but i had to search for it. no idea where its gone here. i also couldnt play it for years, because of newer os. but last days i read about dosbox so i would like to play it again.

issue 1:i will try to create an iso and to mount it as a cd.
issue2: i tried both paths, cause i thought i would be a hard disc mount issue maybe. but it wasnt.

nice it works now, after cd mounting .. thx for help.. let the good old times revive!
