Maybe the program is looking in the current directory, rather than its own? Does this work?... mount c c:\ c: program -f textfile.txt Though, program.exe -f c:\textfile.txt should have worked regardless...

Yeah, you only need to bind it to the EXEs. Hmm, I dunno then. You've tried pretty much everything. Maybe you'll just have to wait until support for the game in dosbox improves. It just seems to be one of those games... :\

Well, unfortunately abandonware is rather frowned upon here at vogons (though for good reason), and I don't believe QFG1 was ever released as freeware. Having said that, it took me about 5 minutes to find a copy of it w/ Google, so it's not too hard to find...

Looks like Dosboxer only handles the configuration side of things. You still need to do the commands to load the game up, but you can put them in the autoexec section of Dosboxer instead of typing them in Dosbox. These commands should work for most games (obviously change paths and names to suit!) …

Please read my last post carefully. I said how to change cycles. You can also set it in dosbox.conf where it says "cycles=". And no, it can't have an adverse effect on your computer, however high or low you set it. The worst you can do is set cycles so high it's using nearly 100% of your CPU, which …

Well, at least when it comes to 3D dos games, a lot of them have been ported to windows now. Doom/Hexen/Heretic, Duke3D, Quake, ROTT, Descent, etc... (not dark forces though unfortunately)
Re: You must run Stonekeep from a CD
Posted on 2006-03-20, 01:08
Hmm. Stonekeep is a popular game today. :) Is e: your cd drive? Try mount e e:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0 -ioctl The -t cdrom just tells dosbox to treat it as a cd drive. The other options are just some advanced stuff it might need. Also, maybe you need to run an exe/bat on the CD instead of in the install …
Re: Stonekeep on Dosbox
Posted on 2006-03-20, 00:35
For dosbox, that is the basics pretty much. :) Things to try to speed a game up, in order: 1.Increase cycles with Ctrl F12 until the sound starts breaking up. Then decrease again with Ctrl F11 until the sound is ok. 2.Try changing to the dynamic cpu core. This won't work with as many games, but it …

Yeah, by unzip over I just meant extract to the same place, so the files get overwritten with the ones in the zip. If you did it right, it would have asked you if you wanted to overwrite them (probably). Press Alt-Enter to switch between full screen and windowed mode. For the sound...I'm not sure... …
Re: MS-DOS Operation problems (specifically sound)
Posted on 2006-03-19, 17:35
Well...the windows WDM driver has nothing to do with sound in Pure DOS. There's a good chance your sound hardware simply hasn't got a dos driver for emulating older cards like Sound Blaster/Adlib/Gravis Ultrasound, etc. I had a quick look, and I couldn't find one anyway, but someone might know …

Don't know anything specific about this game, but general advice is to try a CVS build, dynamic core, and mess around with cycles/frameskip.
Re: xcom apocalypse

Well, I'm looking at the guide at http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=8962 which recommends you use the standard CVS build (i.e. beta version) at: http://cvscompile.aep-emu.de/dosbox.htm This particular version doesn't contain all the files you'll need, so you need the ones from the official 0.63 …

Re: The 7th Guest

Looks like 7th guest has Windows and DOS versions. Ideally, if you have the windows version, you should try to run that under XP. Take a look at http://www.home.earthlink.net/~infernofilecabinet1/XpSetUpWalkthroughsA_E/7thGuest_Setup.htm If that doesn't work, you could certainly try the dos version …

Re: My Strike Commander CD Version works slowly - How can i use VESA Local Bus?
Posted on 2006-03-17, 10:59
CVS builds have better VESA support I believe, so you could try one of those. I'm not sure it will speed your game up though - indeed, VESA modes were often used for higher resolution, rather than more speed. Setting Core=Dynamic in dosbox.conf, and messing with cycles and frameksip is more likely …
