Hello All,
I finally decided to join here, since I've been noticing over the years, that retro hardware is continuing to go up in popularity, with no sign of it stopping... 😀
I've used every computer from an XT to an AMD Opteron, so I think I know Retro stuff pretty well myself. Not to mention keeping a whole closet-full of old spare parts........
My question for today is, has anyone had trouble with selecting drive letters in the Load dialog box of SimCity and Terrain Editor, using DosBox 0.74? I'm talking about the original 1989 SimCity (my first game ever on my Dad's XT).
In DosBox I mount my real D and E drive, as I like to store my City files on E. However, when I load SimCity and click Load City, there are NO drive letter buttons visible. I can only browse the directories on the current drive. Same with Terrain Editor.
A clue, I also have the later 1993 SimCity Classic for DOS (with MIDI and Wave sounds). This version works with my mounted drives fine. However it exhibits a strange anomaly: It shows ALL the physical drive letters on my computer, even if I have only mounted ONE drive in DosBox.
Let me know if you want some screenshots. If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it! Thanks in advance, 😎
