Hi,
I have a problem getting Millenia: Altered Destinies to run with DOSbox. I think I've done everything right and I used the search here and even at google but I couldn't find a fix for my problem. Here is my .conf:

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.

Mount E E:\ -t cdrom -ioctl
Mount C C:\Millenia

when I type C: and the then Mil.exe to start it
the following error occurs:

"exit to error: MSCDEX: GetDirEntry: Unsupported Copyflag" 😦

it's the original CD, of course!!!

what can I do??? I spent hours and hours but I couldn't get it to work

HELP ME, PLEASE!!!!!

nothing i think. Dosbox exists because the games uses a feature dosbox has not. Maybe try a no cd version of the game.

I've found a program named "Fakecd.exe", does it work with DOSbox?

Well, according to Underdogs, Millenia is a DOS only game, so maybe investigating this issue provides some clue to previously unsupported features?
