sorry i cant get this working
i use dosbox 0.71 with the d'fend gui frontend on vista or xp if nesessary
it loads to the title screen then asks for a cd in the drive
i've tried every which way to mount the fake cd image and no luck yet.

well don't use frontends :)

First of all, stay off "fake cd" - it's meant for people who want to get it to work in real DOS, not Dosbox.

Second of all, the idea is that you mount the game as C:\Fragile. What you almost certainly did was mount it as C:\. Also, did you properly mount the D drive?

ok no front end this time.

so i start dosbox without the gui and then type

mount c c:\fragile (where the game actually is on my h.d.)
mount d c:\fragile -t cdrom

then what? mount gives a summery of the drives
loadfix allocates 64 m memory
autoexec appears to set the sound
typing dir does not show any fragile .exe files and it wont let me change directories so i dont even know if i'm in the correct one

how do i start the game? sorry i just not very good at this.

thanks lads.

Remember what I said? You did exactly like I said ;). DO NOT MOUNT THE GAME FOLDER AS C DRIVE.

Also, make a separate folder for DOS Games or you'll end up mounting your entire C drive which is not healthy.

So:

a) make a folder on your C drive for DOS games. Call it DOSGAMES ;)

b) put the FRAGILE folder in the DOSGAMES folder

c) mount the game like this:

mount c c:\dosgames

NOT c:\dosgames\fragile

The rest is correct. Always try to mount a game so it's in a subfolder of the C: drive since a lot of games don't work properly unless you use the path that was in the zip file.

good news!!!

i used your mounting instructions in the Dfend gui to edit the mounts and i have a working game!!

i thank you once again.

Hey
 

So is anyone on these boards up for some Multiplayer?
granted Fragile allegiance games can last for several jours.

somebody knows, where the manual is available?

I have the manual but it would take a few hours to scan it all I'm afraid. Maybe some day when I got a LOT of free time ;).

okok ;)

i hope, somebody got it form hotu befor the link broke :)
