Hi, i followed the instrusctions on how to use dosbox but i have ran into a problem.

drive c has been mounted as a local directory C:\OLDGAMES\

but when i type C:\cd mortal-kombat-2, it says "unable to change to: mortal-kombat-2"

i've tried other games and i still get the same problem

any feedback would be great, thanks!

On your real C drive, is there a directory structure C:/OLDGAMES/MORTAL-KOMBAT-2?

On the other hand, please short it down to 8 chars like /MKOMB2 and try again.
DOS handles up to 8 chars per folder/file only.
