There are two ways to fix Tower Assault crash in DOSbox 0.74: 1. Disable EMS, XMS and UMB. OR: 2. Type "ver 6.00" to tell Tower Assault that DOS version. In both cases, use the installer to disable sound. I got both basic Alien Breed and Tower Assault from old-games.ru, though GOG has them for sale …

Essentially, the frontend I'd like would be like D-box, only with the ability to determine the config based on Mobygames entry. 😀

Installer is LZMA, so just having 7zip is the thing. Rightclick the installer > 7-zip > open with 7-zip (top-most), then just drag DOSbox.exe and both SDL libs into the needed folder, then confirm replacement.

Then I suggest using the code that rfnagel posted on the previous page. If you want submenus, then make additional .bat files and chain them together. (DOSBox supports Call , right?) The only simpler thing I can think of is to set up an MS-DOS "boot" image that will let you use the config.sys-based …

Well, I'd like a tool that would let me generate a batch with sub-menus - like pressing genre name's first letter, then game name's Quest Kyrandia II: Hand of Fate

I am looking for a (preferably) CLI program that lets you make simple menus (or a program that writes a batch-menu based on your list entries) For now, my [autoexec] section looks like: @echo off mount a ../install mount c ../disk c: cd qm3 qm @echo off - hides some "set" commands at startup ../ …

Access seems to be a cheap block at the tip of win3 Gekko - too bad it's DE, plus still GUI. =_!_= Couldn't find PAS, so I am trying QM3 now (I even found a serial for it)

QM3 Well, QM3 is a whole desktop, I could've used any other desktop for that. Would Point-and-shoot work properly in DOSbox?

I want it to run right inside DOSbox - some sort of a program that uses a simple config for the list of items, preferably with sub-menus Writing a lengthy batch can be troublesome, that's why I want it to be a simple "menu tool". It should be a tool with easy management of entries. Sub-menus are …

Hi. Is there an easy-to-use program to create some sort of start menu? Like, to make a menu in text mode, run it in DOSbox instead of a commander, or using a front-end. I tried one such program, but it was a bit too complex, yet disallowed sub-menus /FIXED Font size

uhh... the point is, if you have many games at your dosbox c:, and want to navigate between them with the mouse, a Commander is of great help.

For anyone who wants to use NC or VC: Make a folder "srv" at DOSbox's root Extract a downloaded Volkov/Norton commander into srv/(nc# or vc# - depends on what you use) Add the following after [autoexec] and the comments in DOSbox.conf: Mount y srv y: nc5/nc.exe (in the example, it's Norton Commander …

win3 is mounted as D: because the Windows 3.11 RUS WRK came as a plain RAR of cd-rom content, not as an image or a pre-installed build.

I use Volkov Commander - a clone/mod of Norton Commander. I have about a dozen games in the machine\disk (C: of dosbox), and not to start/quit dosbox each time I navigate to another game, I use that file manager. I'm looking for another good TUI file manager (possibly, closer to "explorers", not " …

why not mount "cdrom" as a CD? The "cdrom" is a folder to store images such as x-com 3 music, windows 3.11 RUS WRK, or images needed to fool some games that beg for a CD on startup.
