Hi!
I tried to play a game using Windows XP. When I try this steps:
------------------------------------------------
mount c /Games/Constructor
mount E E:\ -t cdrom -usecd 1 -ioctl
c:\
game.exe

-----------------------------------------------
I receive this message:

"Unable to locate system.ini file"

Why? Someone could help me?

Thx!

i hope that the second command is
c:
and you want to try
mount c /games/
c:
cd constru~1
game.exe

or something like that. (install the game in dosbox btw)

Hi!

I installed the game in C:\Acclaim\Cn
I installed dosbox in C:\Dosbox

Now, I execute dosbox:

mount c \acclaim\cn
c:
dir
mount d d:\ -t cdrom -usecd 1 -ioctl
game.exe

But now, I´m receive this message:
"Error: Problem opening SFX FFS using C:\ACCLAIM\CN\sfx\DATA.FIL"

But this directory exists, and this file too!

Thx for you answer! =)

Not for the game if you mount it that way.

Yep wrong mount. Use the exact same mounting you've used for installing the game.

well you could do some work yourself though 😀

Anyway MiniMax always posts this:

Read my 60 Seconds Guide to DOSBox (and don't just read it - follow it too).

If that doesn't help, come back with details on how you mounted your C and D drives, how you did the install, how you configured sound, music etc.

Hi guys!!

I finally did it!! I just installed the game (minimum install) using dosbox!
But the game´s performance was too bad! =//

When I try to install the game (maximum install), the dosbox says:"There is no enought space avaliable"...
How can I fix it?!

See you, guys!
