Now it works:

Code:

[autoexec]
mount c .\SAMURAI
c:
old /NJ /GM /AA /NT

Only old.exe file permits the use of these parameters.

It's supposed to be like this

Code:

SAMURAI /NT /NJ /GM /AA

Translator:
Nothing has changed. I think that these problems arise from the version of the game.

AUTOMATED LOADING

You can automatically select your options when you first load Sword of the Samurai using "options parameters," After you type SAMURAI, but before you press Enter/Return, you can type additional characters to preselect options. Separate each option with a space.

The parameters for Sword of the Samurai are:

/J Joystick will be used
/NJ No Joystick is used
/GE Graphics are EGA 16-color
/GM Graphics are MCCA or VGA 256-color
/GC Graphics are CGA 4-color
/GT Graphics are Tandy 1000 1 h-color
/Al Audio (sound) is IBM
/AT Audio (sound) is Tandy 1000
/AA Audio (sound) is AdLib
/AN Audio (sound) is None-sounds are off
/AR Audio (sound) for Roland MT-32 MIDI sound
/V0 Both music and sound effects
/V1 Sound effects only
/V2 Silence -no sound
[Note:"Alt V" enables you to change the sound settings during the game.]
/P Pictures complete ~full role-playing graphics
/NP No Pictures that load from disk -partial roleplaying graphics
[Note: "Alt Z" enables you to change the picture settings during the game.]
/S Single disk drive, so don’t go to role-playing between melees and duels (saves a disk swap).
/NT Skip the opening title sequence.

Example: If you use a standard PC or XT without joystick, CGA graphics, and standard PC sounds, you would load the game with SAM/NJ /GC /Al. A space must be placed between each parameter.

How can I play this game?

can anyone out there help? I've been longing to play this game again for the last 10 years...

I guess you're using a laptop, and they have no scroll keys. Rather, new models whose touchpads allow multi-touch can be used to scroll by stroking two fingers from top to down. But you should buy a cheap two button scroll mouse instead.

Also, you always can run the keyboard mapper utility in dosbox by adding -startmapper param on the shortcut launch command line.
Something as:
C:\program files\\DOSBox-0.74\DOSBox.exe -userconf -startmapper

And yes, Japo is right, you shouldn't blame ol'Bill Gates but the computer devs who each want to add their own kind of completely idiotic 'functionalities' to their hardware.
And you should blame yourselves, as it seems some users want all kinds of 'extra idiotic functionalities' that clutters a keyboard.
Man I'm glad I still have a reserve pile of standard keyboards without any crap.

Whatever problem you have, with a portable keyboard or anything, can be solved if you re-map the missing necessary keys in the virtual keyboard to whatever other existing key you prefer. Press Ctrl-F1 (heh, sorry) to access the virtual keyboard map. If you really can't press this combination let us know, and we can help you editing the map manually, but it's more difficult.

PS: Not really Gates but the computer maker. And in my laptop for example, Fn + 1-0 are for brightness and the like, but F1-F12 are Fn + A-X instead.

And where in the round world is the nefarious scroll key?

Sounds like you're pressing FN at the same time as the key. Without FN pressed, the key should register normally.
