i have read the readme, faq, and ever other help post on this site but i still cant for the life of me figure this out

ok so i have an image of duke nukem 3d atomic edition
i mounted the image with deamon tool
then go into dosbox

mount d L:\ -t cdrom

then

d:

look into the directory, install....
and get this
duke.jpg
its said somewhere in the faq about setting your C drive or something if you get this problem but it made no sense to me

as for time gate: knight's chase
the installer dose not even seem to want to work

much appreciation of any help

Create a directory like c:\oldgames on your real harddisk, and mount that
as your virtual harddisk in dosbox like
mount c c:\oldgames
(preferrably add that line to the autoexec-section of your dosbox.conf).

I doubt that 😀 You must have missed my 60 Seconds Guide to DOSBox

(and lookup the imgmount instead of using Daemon Tools)

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
mount c c:\oldgames
imgmount d C:\TIMEGATE.iso -t iso

dose dosbox have image smoothing or anything?

Yes. Look up renderers and scalers.

on the wiki there is a page that shows them
if they all look the same to you then the scalers don't work 😀
