Yesterday wd came up with a little patch to get a game that required UMB's to work in DOSBox ( link ). The patch consisted of just 4 bytes that needed to be changed in the game EXE, but wd was faced with a little problem: How do you distribute/implement such a patch? wd settled for RAR-archivce of …

Didn't play it too long, but starts fine. wd - 2 more questions. 1) How did you install it? Using the game's installer, or did you manually unpack & copy the files? 2) Which version of DOSBox did you use? When I tried to run the installer with DOSBox 0.63, I always get an "Runtime error 205 at 0000 …

Nice work, wd :) Could you tell me exactly what the patch do?

What does it tell me? Nothing - I am utterly confused. *Appearently* this Mapi\1033\95 directory becomes your current working directory when you start DOSBox. I have no idea why. I suggest you delete your copy of DOSBox, delete the C:\DOSBox\DOSBox-0.63 directory, and re-install. This time, let the …

Just put dosbox.conf in the same directory where dosbox.exe is located. Alternatively, start DOSBox with the option dosbox.exe -conf C:\DOSBox\DOSBox-0.63\dosbos.conf . Note: You can create several config files - e.g. one for each game you want to run - and then start DOSBox with a game-specific …
