Re: Legend of Kyrandia - Malcolm's Revenge

Posted on 2015-08-22, 22:56

I just tested with my CD as well as an ISO i made from it. It is a very unpicky game. Simply mounting a folder as "c" and either the actual CD or imgmounting the ISO as "d" with the "-t cdrom" switch is enough. After running the installer and the setup the game loads just fine. No need for the "- …

So, there's no subfolder or anything? When you ran the installation program, did it offer to install to C:\WESTWOOD\MALCOLM ? Yes. I installed to that folder, and then took all of the contents and put them in the root folder. Also, I was the one that made the ISO. I did it for all my games a while …

I have a ton of dos games working (using this method) and they ALL play completely fine. Well, this one isn't. :blah: It's still not entirely clear to me what you're doing; that's why I asked: what are the contents of the folder "Z:\Hyperspin\Emulators\Microsoft MS-DOS\ROMS\Legend of Kyrandia - …

So, what are the contents of the folder "Z:\Hyperspin\Emulators\Microsoft MS-DOS\ROMS\Legend of Kyrandia - Malcolm's Revenge, The" ? Did the setup program install to C:\westwood\malcolm, or something? If so, then as I've explained before, you can't re-name the folder or otherwise mount things …

You should probably just use ScummVM for this one. (Doesn't Hyperspin support that?) I don't want to setup a different emulator for 1 single game. 2. You probably mean "-ioctl". It looks like you accidently put it randomly in the previous line, where it will do nothing. I had it after -t cdrom like …

When I try to launch the game it says that I need a CD driver. Here if my config. [autoexec] # Lines in this section will be ru -ioctln at startup. imgmount D "Z:\Hyperspin\Emulators\Microsoft MS-DOS\ROMS\Legend of Kyrandia - Malcolm's Revenge, The.iso" -t cdrom mount C "Z:\Hyperspin\Emulators\ …

Your second attempt is causing obvious problems because you first use imgmount to mount the iso as D and then you mount a folder also as D. That can't work. Overall don't EVER change drives and paths on your mountings after having installed something. So, imgmount the iso as E, reinstall to that …

Bermuda Syndrome Not Working

Thanks to all the people that are willing to help people, I have learned a lot in the few threads I have posted. I have another issue that just came up when going through all my old games and installing them. When I run the setup.exe through windows 3.11 everything works fine and dandy. The problem …

Re: Auto Launch Windows 3.1 Games?

My win.com file is in windows 3.1\windows\win.com ... Windows opens but the game does not launch. All these little details make a big difference! This should work: [autoexec] mount c "z:\dosbox\Windows 3.1" mount d "z:\dosbos\Windows 3.1\Games\Ace Ventura" c: cd windows win d:\ace.exe Without "cd …

Do you have WINEXIT.EXE in the base of the folder you have mounted as c:? Does the game start if you enter the "c:\Games\ACE\ace.exe" in File>Run from the Program Manager? Here is my folder structure http://i60.tinypic.com/1zdudk4.png winexit and win.com are within the windows folder. Yes the game …

So in that case, your config would be [autoexec] mount c "z:\dosbox\Windows 3.1" c: win c:\games\aceven~1\ace.exe You have to use "aceven~1" because DOSBox does not recognize long file names except when you're mounting folders. (That's the first six characters of "Ace Ventura" without the space, …

Z: is a read only drive where the built-in DOSBox commands live. You would have had to mount a folder for, say the C: drive and installed Win3x and your games there. http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=9405 My server is actually my Z drive. Everything seems to work fine even though it shares …

If you want to run C:\whatever\game.exe, then all you have to do is run "win c:\whatever\game.exe". Windows will start and then immediately launch game.exe. You can also use "runexit" from http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=23913&p=179273 , which will automatically exit Windows 3.1 when …

Auto Launch Windows 3.1 Games?

Posted on 2015-07-26, 21:37

I have many DOS games set up so that when I click a DOSBox shortcut, it autoexe a few lines of code from my gamename.conf and the game boots right up. Took a while but it is working great! A few games I wanted to play are for Windows and so I had to bust out my old floppies and install Windows 3.1. …

apparently there were a few people using this method. Maybe you should be talking to them..? I can think of a way that it might be possible to configure Windows to launch DOSBox by double-clicking on a .conf file, but it would definitely be nonstandard and I don't think anyone here has mentioned …

Yes that works! Thanks. The people on the hyperspin forum said that you can point rocketlauncher to the .conf or .prof files to load the games and apparently there were a few people using this method. Since I cannot figure that method out, I will just make a shortcut for each game I guess. Is that …

I added, imgmount D "Z:\Hyperspin\Emulators\Microsoft MS-DOS\ROMS\Stonekeep\Stonekeep.iso" -t cdrom mount C "Z:\Hyperspin\Emulators\Microsoft MS-DOS\ROMS\Stonekeep" c: sk To the end of my .conf file and everything is working now. The problem was I installed DOSBox/Dfend in portable mode but it was …

As I said, it has been years since the last I looked at defend, but I believe that the profile files are nothing more than settings for setting up a game within defend. Use it for importing the game You still have to point it to the game files. Remember you still have to provide the game yourself. …

The screen shot shows what I mean. I double click the Stonkeep.prof to launch the game and that screen shot is what comes up. Now I understand. It looks like your .prof files have become associated with DOSBox – when you double click a .prof file, DOSBox acts as if you dragged and dropped the .prof …
