Can somebody please upload a D-Fend/DosBox settings file for Hell (the CDPower version) ?
Mine always hangs on the installation, when copying the very first file (sprite.pl).
I've tried DosBox 0.65 and 0.70.
Thanks!

Did you try copying the files manually and mounting that directory
like "mount d c:\temp\hell -t cdrom" ?
Thanks for the reply.
I have tried the following:
1. Copy contents of Hell CD-ROM to M:\install\CDPowerUK0397
2. Start DOSBox
3. At Z:> prompt, "mount d M:\install\CDPowerUK0397 -t cdrom"
4. It replies: "Subdirectory -- limited support"
5. "mount c H:\games"
6. "D:"
7. "install"
Again, it hangs on the following dialog
"Installing HELL:
File: SPRITE.PL"
I have never been able to get this game to work, back in 1997 when I had a 486, it erased my entire hard disk, IIRC.

Cute 😀 Maybe just to be safe only mount directories in dosbox that
don't contain vital data...
Anyways i don't know that game, you could play around a bit with the
dosbox.conf settings (disabling ems/xms, different cores), using loadfix
or something.
Maybe try some debugger-enabled build of dosbox (look in the dev forum
where to get one) to see if there's some odd file being opened.
It's not frozen, it's just sloooooooooooooooooooooooow! 😀
Set your cycles to max, start the installation and go have a beer, when you get back, it'll probably be done 😉

I went to sleep instead... but it worked.
I don't understand, what is the point of the 'supported games directory' if people don't post their settings like this?
It still stutters a lot, I want to see if I can't improve that.
Game itself worked fine for me on max cycles, no stuttering (or at least nothing I can recall), then again I have a rather high end system (Conroe E6600, I had dosbox in mind when I got it, and boy do those DOS games run fine 😀 )
I guess it's ironic how, in the end, you need a high end system to play a low end game...
And finally, I really don't think Hell is worth the trouble, I found it rather dull at the time...
