So I tried getting NBA Jam TE to work, but it is still not cooperating.

So far I have

downloaded dosbox .72
installed NBA jam TE from CD
downloaded dos32a
replaced dos4gw with it
renamed the dos32a.exe "DOS4GW.exe"
tried running it
all I got was "thank you for playing NBA Jam TE"

is there anything I'm missing?

NEVER use mount c c:\

First read the various guides on this forum. Then use a mounting like
mount c c:\oldgames
mount d k:\ -t cdrom
if c:\oldgames is an existing directory (create it if not), and k: is your cdrom.

Then stick to that mounting, install the game, and play it.

Yep that did it 😀

Thanks so much!!

I never thought about the mounting, always thought it was some compatibility error...

One more question though

the players flash when i go in-game, i was reading about it somewhere on the forums about it maybe being a cycle/core issue

how do I go about changing that? (if that is the culprit)

Locate the dosbox.conf file (inside your DOSBox directory) and try changing cycles to 18000 or 20000 (e.g. cycles=18000).

That solved the player / scoreboard flashing for me...

Happy gaming!
