I'm 19. I started on a Commodore 64 that I got from one of my dad's friends who was just throwing it away. After that, I moved onto a 486.

I have another quick question, I thought I'd ask here instead of making a new topic. Is there any way you guys can rehost the images I posted in the "Newbie's Pictorial Guide to DosBOX" or upload them as attachments instead of it going off of my website? My bandwidth is very limited and my host …

CTRL+F10 should do it.

Yeah, it'll definitely work. I just have a non-CD based version from PC Gamer magazine, so it was easier for me to get working. You should be able to find the demo for the original online if you want to try the game. My specs are: Athlon XP 1700+ GeForce4 TI4400 128mb 512mb ram I cycled up until CPU …

I'm guessing you're having a problem with the / Try typing the \ instead. Non-English keyboards have problems with DOSBox.

Alright, thanks for the info, I'll add it to the newbie thread at the top 😀

Alright 😀 I just wanted to add this info to the FAQ without saying anything stupid or wrong 😜 What kind of problems can you experience if you have files set to Read Only? Like your settings don't save when you change them, stuff like that?
Re: Huge note needed on Dosbox website about Read-Only files

I'm a newb at this type of thing, so my question might have been stupid 😜 I was thinking any game save files, and files that stored settings would have to not be set at Read only. I guess the best thing to do would be to select all the files and uncheck read only in Windows, correct?

Ok, I updated the guide with better pictures using .60, cleaned up some parts, and made step 4 easier to read with a Q and A part that I can hopefully fill up if more common questions are asked 😀

Which files exactly should the attributes be changed on?

I have the original Need For Speed from the PC Gamer Classic Games CD, and I downloaded the demo to try it out. It worked 😀 It was slow (the game requires a 486), but it did work 😀

Right you are 😁 http://www.cvs.com/ However, in the context of DOSBox, it means this: http://vasc.ri.cmu.edu/old_help/Archiving/Cvs … s.html#standfor

Speaking of 3.1, do you know that there's an awesome modification that makes it look more like Windows 98 (Calmira 3.3) or Windows XP (Calmira 3.31 XP)? You can check that out here: http://www.calmira.de/
Re: Cant use \ in DOSbox

Others have suggested using the / (forward slash) instead.

Thanks 😀 I updated the performance section, added CD Rom info, and cleaned the post up a bit. I noticed on the website that a new official version is coming soon, yay! I'll be sure to pass around the link on the other forums I'm active on, and hopefully some people will find the guide useful.
The Newbie's Pictorial Guide To DOSBox
Posted on 2003-10-11, 00:34
I decided to write this easy to read guide with pictures because many newbies like myself have a hard time getting programs to work, even when others try to explain it to them. DOSBox is a great program, so hopefully this will encourage more people to use it. Keep in mind, however, that I am a …

Missed this one earlier... Why on Earth are you running "Dark Forces" in DosBox? Why not? :) No sound at all on Windows XP + very difficult steps that need to be followed in order to even get it installed (like running a .bat file each time in the DOS XP console) made me lose my interest in the …

I'm going to see if I can come up with a quick pictoral guide on how to get started with Dosbox 😀 I know it's difficult for some people to go through with the DOS commands, and I found the front end for it a little on the difficult side to use, so maybe that'll help some people.
