If you really need some quick guide to the minimum neccesary commands: dir [mask] /p where [mask] can use portions of filenames and/or extensions to restrict your search results. * stands for wildcard, ie "any symbols". The /P thing is a switch that instructs the system to display only as much files as it can fit on the screen at a time - if there are more, it will wait for you to press a key before showing the next screen. Examples of usage: dir *.exe displays all files with EXE extension dir main.* displays all files with filename MAIN regardless of extension dir *g*.com /P displays all files with G in their name and a COM extension and waits for a key before showing next screen CD [directory] Moves you into given directory. Using .. (two dots) instead of a directory moves you out of that directory. Using \ instead of a directory moves you to the root of your drive - in DosBox that means to whatever you have mounted as the currently selected drive. To launch a file, type in its filename. Runnable extensions are: EXE, COM and BAT. |

Thanks for replying eagle of fire Im really trying a lot by myself dont take me wrong..not everybody is just as good as you are with computers..that includes me All those commands you gave me is pretty good..still is chinese to me though Would have been a lot easier to just tell me what i should try to try to install the game in dosbox..thats my problem But i know that you guys must be a little tired of answering the same questions all the time So i might just try to go blindly writting some of the commands you gave me and see what happens Thanks eh |

Pause for a few minutes, look at the problem, try to solve it. The solution to your question is so obvious to me that I would solve it in 1 and a half seconds while blindfolded and a hand in my back. I'm not saying that you're stupid, simply that you need to focus on the problem and try to solve it by yourself instead of rushing to the troubleshooting forum because you forfeited. It may be a case of "it's so obvious, I could not find the answer even if it was lying in front of me"... |

Thanks for the tip..will do all right so now in my C:\ i got a file name dosbox,in which i got CDrive - Downloads - Files - Dosbox 0.65(which is the actual program) and i got ''old games'' which i put the game i want to run in it so in dosbox it would be : mount C C:\dosbox\old games ??? thanks again Remx |

You mean you unpack your DOS games directly to your drive C: ? Or do you have a dedicated subdirectory for them ? If it's the first, then I strongly suggest you change that habit. When your games are in a single directory (which is not your drive C, it's far easier to manage and run them in DosBox. Once you have made a directory to put your games in, move the appropriate games there. In DosBox: mount C C:\[the name of your games directory] |

In what directory do you keep your DOS games? The best idea is to point Dosbox there. Ex, if I want to mount directory "Dosgames" that is placed on partition labeled F as Dosbox' emulated drive C, I'd do the following: mount C F:\Dosgames Unless you prefer sticking to the tutorial, in which case you have to create a directory named "DOS" on your drive C and then inside that directory another, named "CDrive". |
