Hi all,

Need a bit of assistance with this game. I have the CD and it's mounted successfully through DOSbox with mount d D:\ -t cdrom. After that, on the CD, there is a batch file that installs all the games. There is also a MS-DOS exe on the disc. When I try to execute either one, either the .bat or .exe, I get this error in dosbox: "Device unavailable in module OPEN at address 0253:003E. Hit any key to return to system."

I'm not sure what my next steps should be to get this to work. Can any one point me in the right direction?

Are you mounting something else other than the CD? If not...you need to mount some folder as a hard drive too..

Yes, I have a folder on my secondary drive called DOSGames. I mounted it with mount e E:\DOSGames. I then proceed with the normal mounting of the CDrom drive with mount d D:\ -t cdrom. After executing the MSDOS executable, I get the same error.

Ok, nevermind, I just figuered it out. Since I was mounting my E drive as actual E:\, the game wasn't finding the source since it was looking for a C drive. After mounting E:\DOSGames as mount c E:\DOSGames, everything worked. Thanks for jogging that for me bloodbat. Much appreciated
