Problem with Crew screen

Hi, I'm sorry to bother with this. I read all the thread but I can't find a solution to the crew screen.

I downloaded the game from here, and three different versions from HOTUD and all have the same problem.

I read another user got a version without the protection copy cracked, and he has to insert the codes, but the problem was solved. All versions I have are the cracked ones.

Never played a MechWarrior game. I want start from this one. I find it deeper than the other ones I saw, because they have only the action gameplay.

Possible if you are only taking garrison contracts. Garrison missions can end with no combat at all.

Move that mw folder to your \oldgames\ folder, run dosbox and input:

cd mw
mw

That seems to have worked. Thank you!

IIRC, there are 2 required changes to Dosbox.conf: I set mpu401=uart and aspect=true. As far as running it, I start Dosbox, mount the mw directory as my c: drive, execute mw.exe, and start the game.

Thanks again for any insights that you may have!

Hi everyone,

After setting mpu401=uart in Dosbox 0.74, and after trying to start a mission, the screen with the rocket blasting off before starting a mission has an error message on it. It says "Put Simulator disk into drive c: If you are using: 5 1/4" use disk 3 3 1/2" use disk 2." I can't get past this screen or message in the game. Does anyone know what I should do? Thanks for your help!
