Hello there.
I have a game that says that I need to up the buffers= and files= settings in my config.sys or else the game won't run.
What do I do? is there a way in dosbox that I can set this information?

to be honest I didn't think it mattered what the game or program was, as long as I am able to make the changes so that it will run.

hello again.
Just to clarify, my query wasn't about a particular game, it was just generalizing, and posing the question what do you do with dosbox if a game or program won't run unless you change buffers=xx or files=xx?

Create a new text document. Name it config.sys.txt
In it, type:
---
buffers=value
files=value
---
Replace value with whatever the game requested.
Delete the .txt extension. So now it is named config.sys
Place this file in the folder you will mount as C.

Some games will just check that there is a config.sys file present at C:\ and generate a message like that if not found.
