Hi,

Firstly, well done and congratulations on the amazing success of DOSBox!

Now, I can perfectly play my DOS games on DOSBox, however, there is a major problem that I'm facing - I am unable to save some of my games on DOSBox! In these games, whenever I try to save a game, e.g. right-click and click Save>Save 1, the game just crashes back to the DOSBox window, which adds "Removed from Memory" just above the directory dialogue. Is there any way to solve this problem? Thank you very much!

What games? What OS are you using? Which version of DOSbox? Which commands exactly do you give in dosbox? Did you change any settings in dosbox.conf? Hard to answer the question without knowing more details.

I'm using Windows XP, DOSBox 0.65 & the game I'm having problems with saving is Three Sister's Story. I mount and go to the game's directory and type down the name of the main .bat file, and the game loads and plays perfectly, but the problem I face is when I try to save; it just crashes to the DOSBox window and adds "Removed from Memory" above the directory dialogue. I haven't changed any settings.

Make sure the files don't have the READ ONLY attribute enabled.

Intel i7 5960X
Gigabye GA-X99-Gaming 5
8 GB DDR4 (2100)
8 GB GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming (Gigabyte)
