One other thing, when running POR the last string for launch is call START.BAT For COTAB it is call START.EXE Not sure who/why the difference but I do remember it was necessary to use the .BAT to get POR working properly in general, not sure if it is why I can get the option at the front of DOSBox …

Well deleting the .conf didn't let me change the opening settings I mentioned. I was able to run a different game with the series and was given the option at the beginning to Press 'ENTER' for previous configuraiton, or SPACE to reconfigure. (Not verbatim but I am sure you have seen this before) I …

I think you are right on the background music, or lack thereof. I'll just find something and stream it while playing. Do you know if EGA or VGA is better? Also, when you say to delete the .conf file I am guessing that once I 'run' the game again a 'new' .conf file will get generated. I.E. the .conf …

I am able to run the games just fine. Here are my issues I have never been able to figure out. Graphics - I only show 'TEAL' and 'PURPLE/MAGENTA'. I know the game should have more colors. Sound - I am able to get basic gameplay sounds (walking, etc) but I do not get any background music. I can't …

This Thread may help in finding and locating your directory, and the spelling changes. You may also want to read the 60 seconds guide to DOSBox regarding Vista 64. The directory change, and a change to a (I think .bat or .exe) feil will be necessary and well. It gets changed in a config, text …

Great Points you make about your perspective on branding. Not just name changing, but branding. Anyway, I was browsing some sites that give reviews, previews, etc for DOS games and almost all of them reference "DOSBox" by name as the recommended emulator to use. I am guessing there are others, but …

No problem. Some forums I have been in want to remove the "clutter", I always liked the idea of keeping things open if need be. Just trying to be considerate, Thanks for letting me know how you guys roll int here. 😎

Yeah, I couldn't figure out what Shortcut he was talking about at first. I am just glad DOSBox opens up both windows for me. I did find it later in the Program List inside the DOSBox Primary folder. I am guessing that is what he means by short-cut. I guess I didn't know that the Program List was …

Does running Vista 64 make a difference? I found the "Start" file you are referencing, however, when opening or attempting to "double;e-click" it to run it I receive the following error The program or feature "\??\C:\Users\Documents\DOSBox stuff\MyGame\WIZWORX\POOLRAD\CONF.EXE" cannot start or run …

After tooling around some more I figured out where the config file was. It was not where the "60 Second Guide" listed it to be. I found it based on the DOSBox Status Window.

Creating the FakeFloppy path to mount A to worked. I am still looking for help with the "autoexec" function. I can put up with mounting each and every time for now. Also, I am guessing that if I run into any other problems running this game I need to create a new Thread in another area that is …

Thanks for the info on creating a "fake diskette" for mounting. I am guessing I will need to create a "real" pathway for the mounting process. Where shuld I make that path? C:\Users\Jesse\Documents\DOSBox stuff\FakeFloppy\ If so I am guessing I would just make a new folder within DOSBox stuff …
