Hi

Just to let you know, I managed to get the above games working in dosbox, with sound.

I have an old p133 networked to my main 2.4Ghz xp machine.

Mapped the network drive on the p133 to drive z: (also works with other mappings) on the xp machine, ran dosbox from the xp machine, mounted c z:\(on p133) - and all work fine, with sound, and no set FILES = 30 message on tie fighter.

Doesn't work if programs reside on the same drive as the xp machine, and try to mount a local drive.

Hope this heps with set FILES=30 problem.

Weird. What was that P133 running, Win98? OR Win95? Or Win 3.x? Or DOS? And how is the hard drive formatted (FAT16? FAT32?) If you create a small FAT partition on your XP system, will it run?

Anyhow, other people here say TIE Fighter is not a problem. You'll have to ask them why, though.

Hi

Got set files=30 when I tried to run xwing from local disc.

xp computer multiboots anyway
c: = win 98 fat32
e: = win xp ntfs
and another 2 partitions on hard drive for linux and swap.

Running dosbox under xp, with game on local c: drive causes files prob

p133 - win 98, fat32, simple networking (microsoft tcp/ip) - mapping drives from xp - mounting drive from dosbox, no probs.

I agree - weird. I suspect that networking in some way helps files problem - at some point am going to try p133 with linux (that also multiboots) and samb and see if still works. I am an incessant fiddler!
