😕 Im kinda new but I've played wolf and lion alot before.
Okay so heres the problem. I type in all the codes then loadfix then I try to start the game and it says that it doesnt exist. I put in C: and everything but it just wont work no matter what I try!

mount c c: / (No space)
c:
loadfix simearth
cd simearth (Sometimes this wont work either)
simearth
then it says illegal command. 😕

I put the file in the C: place on my computer and called it simearth

If your commands are sequential...you're doing it wrong...
cd simearth should go before loadfix simearth; are you sure simearth is an .exe or .com or .bat file?
Check what's the proper command to start the game; if it's a .bat file...check that whatever it references is actually there.
