Add the path to the conf file. Also change "-userconf" to "-conf" Copy code to clipboard 1 -conf C:\Users\Zac\Desktop\dosbox.conf

If a floppy is needed can you just mount a folder as your floppy? That way a "floppy" would always be there to mount.
Re: Should a DOS application be able to crash DOSBox?

When code can crash a real DOS machine, why should it be any surprise that the same code can crash a DOS emulator? Like DosFreak, I have had nearly all emulators/virtualizers running DOS crash at some point, too.

Perhaps that is not the correct path to your conf file. Go to your conf file and hold the shift key, right click on the dosbox.conf and choose "Copy as path". The correct path will be on your Windows Clipboard to paste after the -conf parameter.

If the executable you have in your autoexec section is a batch file, try using call to invoke it, i.e. Copy code to clipboard 1 [autoexec] 2 call mybatch.bat or whatever the batch file is named. FYI, you can also put the exit command at the end of the autoexec section.

Besides the legal issues with "abandonware" there are potential technical issues, too. Most so called abandonware is ripped, hacked, cracked or altered in some way that can make it behave unpredictably. Problems that you encounter often are unique your copy and may not be reproducible by those here …

Barry_Purplelips, your avatar is offensive. All you are doing is showing the world what a racist idiot you are. Take you idiotic avatar and user name elsewhere. May I suggest redstate.com where the other wingnut idiots hang out.

If you are talking about the game's configuration, I often use DACTHUND.DRV because it is more trouble free than the Sierra SB driver. The SoundBlaster driver often is noisy and the Thunder Board driver is more reliable and does not cause noise. It is a moot point, anyway, because I was already …

Hi, danoon. I have found one thing that normal DOSBox has no problems running that jDOSBox chokes on. The LSL7 demo. No matter what core, cycles frame skip, etc. I try, it is unplayable.

After looking, I found the Red Baron retitled from Sopwith that you mentioned. The page should be the Dynamix game, not an abandonware hacked game. In any case this is the kind of thing that could be dealt with on the discussion pages on the Wiki, if editors still had access, which is what this …

I understand why the Wiki was locked down from editing. Constantly battling spambots is tiresome. However, looking through the games on the Wiki I noticed that there are a lot of errors. Most of these are just minor, like links that need to be fixed, but some of the errors are just plain …

DOSBox has no registry to store file associations the way Windows does, even if you associated *.prn files with DOSBox, it would not know what to do with it.

First of all, DOSBox is intended for games, not applications, don't look for much help with your application. That said, did you even mount your floppy in DOSBox? Check the README to see how.
