I am thinking of the language files listed at the bottom of this page: http://dosbox.com/download.php?main=1 Right now, each DOSBox user has to download and install them manually. Would be nice if the frontend included all these, and automatically selected the right one (unless overriden by the user …

Perhaps the easiest solution is to make images of your CD's, use the imgmount command, and just swap away using CTRL-F4.

Kicker - I have put your question into a new thread. Gives you a better chance of having someone who know Mac's see it, and answer you.

You can't. The devices you mention are specifically handled within DOSBox as part of the emulation. There exists some un-official versions of DOSBox that only works in Windows, or only works in Linux, that provide direct access to some of the real hardware from DOSBox. But where to find them I don't …

Vigil has some nice features in his new Boxer frontend: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=128004#128004 I like the idea of sniffing existing CD's, maybe check if the majority of filenames and directories conform to the old DOS-way of 8.3, and then automatically mount it (or as least offer it) as …

Vigil - I am sure a lot of Apple Mac users will love your frontend. And I hope that the wizard-like features it has will migrate over to the other frontends. I like the idea of sniffing existing CD's, maybe check if the majority of filenames and directories conform to the old DOS-way of 8.3, and …

You might get lucky if someone sees this thread some time in the future and that someone knows the solution. But right now, I don't think anyone here knows what the problem is, or how to fix it. If you REALLY, REALLY want to, you could try to download one of the special versions of DOSBox that comes …

AHHH! Some file, or information in a file, must have been damaged during that crash. Does the problem happen if you start without loading an existing game state, and then save as a new game state?

Do I need to install the game again every time I want to play it? No, but many times it is necessary to mount the D-drive. Many games likes to check that the user has the CD, and is not running an illegal copy. So they check the D-drive for that. Also, many games don't install everything onto the …

Hmmm... It looks okay, but shouldn't there be some kind of installation first? Where you do a D: install before running the game?

I think I understand now. I need to create empty folder and mount it as drive c and mount cd as drive d. and it will install the game on that empty folder. Am I right? Yep. And, since you already have a CUE-image, you can bypass Daemon Tools and mount the image directly in DOSBox: mount D "P:\ath\ …

You wrote "600*480". It must be with an 'x', not a '*'. So try windowsresolution=600x480
