Ok, the first game I tried ran fine! but I don't know how to save my game. It is Star Trek First contact. I am told to remove the game disk and insert an un formatted one to save on. Since I'm not using real disks I don't know how to do this. The second game is Prometheus prophecy. The txt file that comes with the game says it won't run unless you set the memory to 0FC0:0000h up to 3000:0000h but I don't know what this means. I looked in the dos box config file but all I saw was memsize=16. I changed this but it did nothing. The last one is rebel universe which simply boots up to a blue screen, but does nothing. Any help is appreciated.

I assume you are referring to some ancient game that predates the widespread adoption of hard drives. Does anything happen if you just go ahead and try to save, or does it insist that you change to a different disk? There are still ways around that, but they're a bit complicated.

The second game is Prometheus prophecy.

Promethean Prophecy. If you have been searching for guidance, getting the name right tends to help. 😉

Never mind what the text file says: what exactly happens when you just try to run the game in DOSBox?

The last one is rebel universe which simply boots up to a blue screen, but does nothing.

Have you followed the 60 Seconds Guide ?

Well at least someone replied. I'll try to answer your questions. As for promethean prophecy, I'm aware of the correct name, but i simply made a mistake. The game insists that I change the drive. It says please remove the game disk and insert an un formatted disk and press a key to continue. I do nothing and press a key to continue, but it says there's and error and to try again. As for the memory issue, the game syas disk error: fix. As for the 60 second guide, I will attemp this and get back to you.
