I am attempting to run Battlespire through DosBOX using the DBGL front end.

I have the game installed to C:\DBGL\dosroot\BATSPIRE

I have the Spire.cfg setup so that it looks like this

path C:\
pathcd C:\

I have moved the videos directory from my cd into the BATSPIRE directory and also moved the WAVES file into the BATSPIRE directory.

I have installed the patch 1.5 and changed the memsize in dosbox.cfg to 64, and I have changed the MAXMEM in SPIRE.bat to 71.

I can run the game from DosBOX with no problems using this

mount c:\DBGL\dosroot\BATSPIRE -freesize 1000
c:
spire

However when I attempt to run the game through DBGL with

c:\DBGL\dosroot\BATSPIRE -freesize 1000

in the mounting overview box with BATSPIRE\SPIRE.bat selected as the file to execute I receive the error

Exception: 0E, Error code: 0004

Writing CW.ERR file. . . .

Sorry if that is too much information but I was hoping to be thorough.
I had read on another forum post that a Causeway error 09 has to do with memory but I thought that I had done all of the needed memory changes.

[dosbox]
captures=..\captures\46
memsize=

[autoexec]
mount C "BATSPIRE"
C:
cd \
call SPIRE.BAT

Edit: Now that I know I can look at the DBGl config file I noticed I didn't have the mem size for the profile set to 64 like the rest of mine were. Once I set it to 64 it runs fine, however whenever I get to a place where it shows dialogue I get the error

Code: 0 not found in C:\>

Any ideas?

I'd suggest reinstalling the game from the original media. When done, reconfigure DBGL so that the mounts you are using are kept exactly the same.
