Hi :)
In the description of this game is says 'Run it with hammer.bat or it'll ask for the CD'. I do run it with hammer.bat but the game won't start. Message is that SUBST failed and no CDrom with game was found.

Could anyone recommend anything please?

Please post you computer specs and how are you trying to run the game (using VDMSound or DOSBox, or just Win98....)

Got to run it under DosBox. It works that way. It mounts a drive, which doesn't work outside of DosBox... got to do the same thing but made fit for the environment you want to run it under if it's not DosBox.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that before. I run it under Dosbox 0.63. My Dosbox folders are as in the guide - c:\Dos; c:\Dos\Cdrive; c:\dos\Cdrive\Hammer~1\Hammer

My operating system is WinXP. The error message I get is 'Please insert Hammer of the Gods CD. Removing drive not supported. Doing nothing. c:\hammer~1\hammer'

Rename your directory(ies) so it's 8 letters max (per level) and try again.

I have tried that. I also tried moving Hammer files one directory up so I got c:\dos\cdrive\hammer

Same result (:

Now that I can see that some people got this game to work it is even more painful to not be able to run it :help:

Which version of DosBox do you use?

Uge Si 23-03-2005 08:30 PM

HAHAHA, BANZAI!! :w00t: I did it!

What I did is I changed the folders from c:\dos\cdrive to c:\dosbox\cdrive, is ALL!

I think the code in the game executable must have been made to work on this exact setup of folders

Glad to hear it's resolved :ok:
