According to the game database this game is supported. However, when I try to run setup it just says: "This application requires a CD-ROM. In case of difficulty refer to the manual." Tried it with real CD and CD image (mounted with Alcohol 120%), with DOSBox 0.63 and current CVS build, same result. At the same time the console reports "Warning: file creation failed: g:\$$$.$$$" - understandable, as g: is CD-ROM. Searching through the forums I've found a discussion of a similar topic, inability to run this game on XP due to some missing function in CD-ROM support. This is not the same -- DOSBox does not necessarily have to be limited by host limitations (yes, my system is running XP). The same game runs just fine on the same system in Virtual PC (setup is somewhat screwy there but workable, the game is OK). I tried to copy installed files from VPC to DOSBox and got the same message, although this time console did not report any warnings.
Some additional info: I've got the game on the original CD (not a copy or download), version 1.0. Floppy version runs just fine. The host system runs XP SP2 on Athlon64 3500+/2GB.
Any ideas?
