How do you get The Riddle of Master LU to work in DOSbox? Mounted my CDRom drive then opened it up and typed install got a bunch of error messages. Copied all the CDROM files to my HD, mounted my C: drive with the directry C:\games\Riddle then typed install still got the error messages. Then I tried to work directly with the EXE Which is in a subdirectory Goodstuf. DOSbox wouldn't recognize the Goodstuf directory. How did you get The Riddle of Master LU to work in DOSbox?

Hi gameman,
I just mounted my cd rom drive
( mount d d:/ -t cdrom)
and then I mounted my harddisc
( mount c c:/)

Then I started the setup with install.exe.
I had to wait half a minute..and then the setup program started.

I didn't get any error messages.

Hi,

I've been trying to get TROML working under dosbox 0.61, too. I have a Radeon Mobility 9600, so far I've had no real VESA issues. (I haven't installed UniVBE, I guess the game hasen't gotten to that point before crashing, or it doesn't need UniVBE).

When trying to run GOODSTUFF\riddle.exe:

FATAR ERROR ENCOUNTERED:
MIDI initialisation error. Please re-run SETUP.EXE

Error code: 0x0417
Code found in: MASTER.M4E
Offending EXE: RIDDLE.EXE
Source code index: ..\adv_main.cpp:373
Path to EXE: C:\RIDDLE~1\GOODSTUFF\

Description:
main init

Seems like it doesn't like my MIDI settings.
So when I try to run SETUP.EXE from the SETUP directory I get the error:

FATAR ERROR ENCOUNTERED:
<Could not locate description>

Error code: 0x0006
Code found in:
Offending EXE: SETUP.EXE
Source code index: ..\mem\MEM_MAN.C:279
Path to EXE: C:\RIDDLE~1\SETUP\

Description:
Bfree

Seems like some memory error that could be easily overcome. (But I don't know how.)

greets,

Aram

PS I copied this directory structure from the original CD following the install script for I.EXE, INSTALL.SCP (the INSTALL.BAT didn't work 🙁)

edit:
I re-installed the game using install.bat, crancked up the cycles a bit and it ran perfectly. Then I ran masterlu from the game dir and I can play! W00t! Thank you DOSBox!!

Hey, man. Glad you got the game to work, but could someone give an idiot-walkthrough. Because I just don't get how you did it. I have exactly the same problem you see.
