Been working with this for a week and the more I try, the more confused I get; Have read and reread the guides ad nauseum and I do not understand what this is trying to accomplish here for running with a game on a CD. Is it intended to install the game from the CD onto my HDD? Seems that way but the INSTALL AND SETUP commands do not work, nor would I expect to with a READ-ONLY disk.
The D escent README file makes matters worse because there are dozens of add-ons to this game that are supposed to be installed. Further, I do not understand this line from directions: "Now, just write what you wanted to call your new DOSBox drive, which, as I said above, we called C." What are you doing here. The game is on a CDROM so I don't get to name it as its already assigned name and drive.
I got as far as mounting the CD and creating a root directory drive C: file for DOSBox Stuff but there is nothing in it except a file named INSTALL, also with nothing in it as the install command didn't do anything beyond creating the file name. And what is the frequent reference to a MY GAME file that apparently I'm supposed to create and put something in it? I'm Lost.
