Re: Abandonware and Dosbox

Posted on 2007-03-19, 17:58

I already donwload the game SupaPlex and I need help I cant run it and I dont know why ... I love this game !! can you help me please ? And 5 minutes later: maybe I …

Re: Help installing DOSbox 0.70 on Mac OS X

DOSBox does not find a configuration file, whether named Dosbox Preferences, kept in /library/preferences or dosbox.conf kept in the dosbox executable's directory. Sorry for nitpicking here, but what do you mean by " does not find " ?? Could it be that it do indeed find it, opens it, but can't …

I'm curious now- what's the actual VOGONS policy on locking/deleting threads where someone posts asking for help but mentions an illegally obtained game? I don't know if we have an official policy, except for this text which is attached to every page here: This site hosts no abandonware. There is …

I don't think Vista plays a role here. That DOS/4GW thing is something that is/was used a lot in DOS-games by many game companies. Looks like it ran into a problem. You might want to search the forum for posts on how to replace DOS/4GW with a similar thing called DOS32A. It might just work.

Are you having the same kind of problems with Blood as these guys: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=102436&highlight=blood#102436 http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=101835&highlight=blood#101835 http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=100754&highlight=blood#100754 http://www.vogons.org/ …

That would have to be a config option in dosbox.conf then since we'd run into a user who wouldn't want DosBox to mount the default directory. If said user put a mount-command in the autoexec-section, then a drive other than Z: would exist, and no auto-mount would occur. The only time a problem …

WINDOWS \Games\DOS (Most non-noob's use a Game directory....it may be on another drive though. Permissions also need to be set if they are not admins. \Program Files\DosBox\Games (Permissions would need to be set) Please no - don't polute my root dir, or my programs dir with data-files. \Documents …

So, what's the difference in your mentioned case if you mount specific directories or just one? The difference is that I can ask the n00b to completely erase, delete and burn the MyGame directory and then start over. If a common directory is used, then you need to 1) Know which sub-dir the game is …

This shouldn't be up to just plain DosBox tho. This is really more of a frontend thing. Well.................. It could be. How about if DOSBox - when it reached the end of the autoexec section(s) and the end of any -c options, checked if any drives (except Z: was mounted)? If no drives were …

So use this instead: mount c "c:\DOSbox stuff" No! My 60-seconds guide assumes that the installation is done completely inside the DOSBox environment. Mounting a separate MyGame directory for each install makes MyGame = C:\ for that particular game. If the installer creates a subdir for the game …
