You appear to be running VOYAGER.EXE on the cdrom, which does result in the "In order to take full advantage..." message. If you installed the game as per the 60 Seconds Guide then you should have a VOYAGER directory on the mounted C: drive, and you need to run VOYAGER.BAT in that directory.

As I mentioned before, some installers work okay with the files from all floppies copied into a single folder, but some don't. The Speed Racer installer is one of those that don't. It's possible to use a folder to install from, but it's important that the folder only contains files for one floppy at …

After starting DOSBox (the new one I just DLed BTW), I type: mount c ~/games/dosgames/ (then hit return) Then I type: c: Then I type: cd speed (the folder the game is in) Then I type: install.exe You said before that you're running the install from C:\SPEED, though. I suggest reading the 60 seconds …

Just make sure you don't install to C:\SPEED, because that's where you're installing FROM.

Are you copying the contents of all floppy disks to a folder on your hard disk and trying to install from that folder? That works in some cases, but not all. Normally you mount the A: drive as a floppy drive and install from A: to C:

And how do you plan to mount the floppy disks? With a real floppy drive? With images of the floppy disks? BTW, the Z: drive is a virtual drive within DOSBox. It seems like you've been trying to do things outside of DOSBox when you should be doing them inside. mount c ~/Games/ copy z:\command.com …

You are making some fundamental mistake, but we can't see what it is if you're vague about what you're doing. Please list all commands you are typing in DOSBox, including all MOUNT commands, in order to install the game.

The COMMAND.COM you "found somewhere" is not necessarily supported. You should use the one on DOSBox's Z: drive, like I described in my previous post, then re-install the game. Also, how are you mounting the floppy drive or floppy images?

Well, the COMSPEC environment variable is a kind of pointer, but it's up to DOS programs to do the right thing and use it. :) It was a long time ago that I mentioned to Qbix the idea of internally converting C:\COMMAND.COM to Z:\COMMAND.COM, but it didn't go anywhere; it is indeed a kludge. @Mr. …
Re: Need help with Speed Racer

The installer assumes that COMMAND.COM is in the root of the C: drive. That's usually true on real DOS systems, but the correct thing to do is to use the COMSPEC environment variable to locate the command interpreter. Anyway, copying COMMAND.COM from DOSBox's Z: drive to the root of the *emulated* …
Re: DOSBox appending 'win' to every command
Posted on 2018-04-14, 01:15
Some DOS games have a SETUP.EXE for options, although in some cases it's named CONFIG.EXE or whatever else; however, those won't try to start up Windows. Also, the OP mentioned installing specifically, not configuring options.

Well, as I said, the dynamic core workaround depends on the host system. Also, if you follow my previous comment, one only need add a SETFLAGBIT(OF,false); for IDIVW in instructions.h to fix this particular game, but the flags should be fixed properly (as soon as it can be determined what is proper …
Re: DOSBox appending 'win' to every command
Posted on 2018-04-07, 05:19
This is because SETUP.EXE is a Windows program, not a DOS program. DOS programs are usually installed with INSTALL.COM/EXE/BAT, but not always. If you own a license for Windows 3, it is possible to install and run it in DOSBox. See the guides section of the form for help with that, if needed.

Hello, sir! What are you up to? This appears to be a CPU emulation issue in the normal core regarding undocumented (or at least poorly documented) behavior of certain flags for divide instructions; in this case the overflow flag for a word-size integer divide. It's somewhat related to an issue with …

Why desperate? As you suggested previously , you could compile your own build with the patch applied. BTW, not only VESA modes; machine=vgaonly is also affected because it uses higher color depth to emulate palette tricks. I believe that Harekiet is considering the proposed solution, as I mentioned …
Re: Can anyone help get USURPER (Door games) running?
Posted on 2018-04-03, 14:27
Well, it appears that 0.20e was released in 2009, and I tend to be skeptical of true DOS compatibility in such cases. DOSBox emulates DOS, not the Windows NTVDM and Command Shell. BTW, you can find 0.16 here: http://files.mpoli.fi/software/DOS/BBS/

Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator 5.1 - I cant set up EMS

The game appears to rely on EMM page mapping behavior that is not implemented in DOSBox. I made an experimental patch long ago that's probably not fully applicable to current source, but it might be worth revisiting now that a game is known to use the feature. I found that the issue does not affect …
