I guess I must have tried installing it outside of DosBox, I installed it through DosBox this time, and everything seemed to work ok, the intro movie played and then I was asked to enter my pilot name. But when I exited out and tried starting it again through DosBox, I can't get it to work. After …

I tried both of the above and just got "unable to change to: DESCENT2" Is there something I'm missing? I'm pretty sure I've installed it just like I did with Descent, and it's in the same folders.

I have DosBox installed and my OS is Windows XP, I've run Descent on it using these commands: mount C "C:\Documents and Settings\User name\My Documents\Dos Games\Game mount d d:\ -t cdrom C: GAMES\DESCENT\DESCENTR I've installed Descent II to the same Games folder as Descent, and tried using the …

IT'S WORKING! 😁 I changed the music card and I was just racing around the old mines with no problems and great music for the first time in years! Thank you so much to everyone who helped me when I was so terribly incompetent, I appreciate it a lot! 😊

Ok, now I know that I can alt-enter to get a larger screen, but I'm still not sure why there's no sound.

You start the game with DESCENT or DESCENTR -640x480 if you want to run in high-resolution mode Thanks, that seemed to work, except I got an "ERROR: Unable to open the file C:ULTRASND\ULTRASND.INI" and "ERROR (HMI) Specified driver is not loaded" The game opened up and asked me to select a pilot …

PLEASE post only once, hitting that reply button one time is enough. mount D "D:\ -t cdrom Care about the exact letters, it's "mount d d:\ -t cdrom" and assure that the reply dosbox prints contains something with "MSCDEX". Thanks, I think that worked, now I have a screen in DOSBox that says C:\ …

Post the exact steps you did and exactly what you typed. I created a folder called "Dos Games" and a folder inside that called Game". Then I did this in DOSBox Z:\>mount C "C:\Documents and Settings\User name\My Documents\Dos Games\Game Z:\>mount D "D:\ -t cdrom Z:\>C: C:\>D: D:\>Install And that's …

Read my 60 Seconds Guide to DOSBox (and don't just read it - follow it too). If that doesn't help, come back with details on how you mounted your C and D drives, how you did the install, how you configured sound, music etc. Reading the aptly named README file will be a good idea too. I did …

ok, thanks very much for that, I'll follow the instructions to the letter and let you know how I go. (And I did read the README file, like I said, this is all very new to me)

Well I'm not sure, it doesn't show anything after I type the "mount" command, it just has the "Z:\>" with the flashing cursor ready for me to type something else. I followed the instructions from this page: http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Basic_Setup_and_Installation_of_DosBox I can get into the game, …

Hi all, I'm running Windows XP and I downloaded DOSBox 0.70 so I could run the game 'Descent'. After creating the appropriate directories/folders I did this in the DOSBox window: z:\>MOUNT C C:\GAMES Drive C is mounted as local directory C:\GAMES\ Z:\>C: C:\> C:\>CD GAMES Unable to change to: GAMES. …
