I doubt a 1987 DOS game was originally distributed as a RAR fiile. This is why illegal copies of software are not supported here: all too often, something has gone wrong with the packaging or copying process and it is pointless trying to pin the problem down onto something in DOSBox or on some …

To take a wild guess, it sounds like the sort of thing that gets thrown in if some kind of copy protection check fails. Did you install the game from original disks? If so, the game might be using some kind of copy protection check that DOSBox does not support. Also, if this is a DOSBox question, it …

Win 2K for playing games up to 2005? WHY? Build or pick-up a used hyperthreaded P4 pc with a couple of gigs of ram. Throw XP on it (although it probably already has it) and you'll be much happier. I agree with this. 2005 is not a problematic timeframe. Windows 98 is a slow, bloated graphical user …

Floppy connectors aren't IDE, even though they look sort of similar. Are you plugging in the cable the right way? As I recall, the light will come on if the cable is plugged in the wrong way, but of course it won't work. There should be a red stripe on the cable that corresponds to "pin 1" (which …
