Just installed DOSBox and trying to get my Mugen games to work with it. Tried using "The Newbie's Pictorial Guide To DOSBox" since using a .exe game, all was going fine until I tried to load my game. Everytime I load the game I get an error saying: "Load error: no DPMI - Get csdpmi*v.zip". Can someone tell me what this error means and how to fix it in order for the games to work?

Dont know if this will help but my computer gear is:
Win XP Pro
XFX PVT71UZDF9 Geforce 7950GX2 1GB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Xtreme Video Card
ASUS A8N-SLI Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Manchester 2000MHz HT Socket 939 Dual Core Processor

just extract the zip file you got into your game directory... then run the game again with dosbox.

Game Directory? You mean the folder the actual game is in or the folder that I have DOSBox installed into?

I ask this cause the site I got the csdpmi4b.zip from says something about flashing bios with it and stuff? 😮 Beginning to think this "csdpmi4b.zip" isnt the right file I need, it has multiple files it in CWSDPR0.exe, CWSDPMI.exe, CWSPARAM.exe, etc...

Just do as you were told (unpack it into the directory where the game is)...
