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. |

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. |

Save Game Zak McKracken 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. Regards Modestus |

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. |

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. |
