Hi, i'm tring to install the 1.21 patch for Crusader - No Remorse but i don't know how, since the patch is a self-extracting archive that i need to point it in the game directory in order for it to be applied.

I tried:

mount c c:\oldgames
c:\
cd patch (where the exe is)
CRUPATCH

When you are at C:

How do you go to your game?

If you are typing CD REMORSE

Then you start the patch with CRUPATCH C:\REMORSE

If you are typing CD GAMES and then CD REMORSE

Then you start the patch with CRUPATCH C:\GAMES\REMORSE

Important!!! Do as mau1wurf wrote but make sure that
You extracted everything from the zip (if the patch comes in a zip) and
That you don't put it in the crusader folder. There was a similar problem with u8 the other week (in another forum) and Crusader shares Ultima 8's engine so this might be important

How do you go to your game?

I made a shortcut of it via desktop. I can still play the game by entering the imput manually.

I've looked it up on the internet and i created myself a small tutorial, tough i stil don't know how to extract that patch...

How to Install a game?

1. create a folder on drive C called "oldgames"
2. mount c c:\oldgames
3. mount d h:\ -t cdrom (h is the drive letter)
4. d:
5. type in the name of the setup file on you're cd (ex: install / setup)

How to play?

1. mount c c:\oldgames
2. c:\
3. cd (game directory name, ex: cd heretic)
4. type in the name of the exe file of the game (ex: heretic)

How to mount a cdrom?

1. mount d h:\ -t cdrom (h is the drive letter)

How to create a quick launch shortcut?

1. Go to Start>Programs>DOSBox>Configuration>Edit Configuration OR go to where you
installed DOSBox, find and double-click "DOSBox 0.74 Options". Copy everything within it.
Create a new Text Document called"dosbox", paste what you have copied earlier. And at the
bottom under "[autoexec]" add mount "d h:\ -t cdrom". Save it, and change it's extension from
"dosbox.txt" to "dosbox.conf". Now copy the file you just created in you're game directory.

If the game runs too fast or too slow increase/decrease the "cycles=" value within the dosbox.conf
file. Recommended cycles is 20000.

2. Create another DOSBox shortcut on you're desktop. Right-click>Properties and change "Target:"
to:

"C:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.74\dosbox.exe" "C:\OLDGAMES\CRUSADER\CRUSADER.EXE" -conf "C:\OLDGAMES\CRUSADER\dosbox.conf" -exit -fullscreen

I can play the game withowt the patch but it has a few bugfixes that would make gameplay a little more easier.

I'm new with this. I'll check out you're video tomorrow and try to make something out of it.

Everythng is extracted, there are 3 files, a data file, an exe dos file and a readme file witch tells you how to install it. I know how to install it it's just that it's different in DOSBox, and it does not seem to start in XP alone.

I don't have problems running the game, i just don't know how to install the patch for it.

Got the patch from here:

just do as Mau1wurf wrote.
when you are at the point of your screenshot, instead of entering "crupatch" enter "crupatch c:\remorse"
