Smiling Spectre In most cases with DOS games, saves are located in the game dir (except when game is mounted as A:, in that case saves can be located on C. So either you mount game dir as C (and saves came naturally here), or mount game dir as A and any voluntarily selected dir as C. It's not real C, as zirkoni noted, so no risk for your real HDD.

Some DOS games expect the D-drive to be a CD-ROM drive, C is a hard disk drive, A and B floppy disk drives.
Also, if you have a preinstalled DOS game (like most games in Abandonia) the game might have some kind of configuration file that defines the save path/drive.

Too risky??? This just shows the path D:\Save as the C-drive in DOSBox, your real C-drive is not accessed.
Something like
mount c c:\
or
mount c c:\windows
would be risky.

Royal7 hey guys, i want to ask some question regarding save/load state in dosbox.

Recently I tried to experiment on Trying to get the save work when playing game.


What I want to ask is :

I tried these two lines during my attempt to create save game directory from DOS BOX, here's the lines

I. Mount D D:\Save\

and

II. Mount C D:\Save\


from what I did I can conclude that the second line worked for me to make save game. What I want to ask is,

Is It possible to make save game while Mounting on D just like the 1st line?

Is there something wrong with the 1st line I wrote? because it seems the I couldn't save using that yet I prefer to mount my games and the saved games on D, too risky on C.

Thanks your advice are much appreciated.

Hi,

I had the same Problems you have.
Read This:
http://www.lemonamiga.com/games/docs.php?id=1845

The chapter about Save / Load / Reastart by Key shortcuts is great.
I´m using a Mac and only have to press the ´fn´ and then F5 for Saving ect.

Have fun. Hope it fits.

Rogue Thank you Data!

Data DOSBox has problems with running 24.00 hours (the day changed bit ins't updated)

As far as I know there are plans to add it. But as far as I understand it's quite an undertaking and will take a while to add.

Rogue Or just keep DOSBox running 24x7. LOL

Simple solution....


Not sure if Data know, are there any planes to make save-state in DOSBox project?

Gamefreak Oh really? Then try to mount a folder of Wizardry VII and then try to save the game there. Good luck.

BeefontheBone b[]That[/b]'s nonsense - the emulator treats whatever you mount as C:\. There are a couple of games on the site which require you to create SAVEGAME folders or something similar in their directories.

Gamefreak That's nonsense. Didn't you read above? Some games don't save if you mount a certain folder on a drive.
