Im the guest who wrote just before..sorry about this third one
I was now able to do the ''mount'' thing to Dosbox after reading the official tutorial :sneaky: i dont know if did work or if i absolutly have to do it..i never really was familiarized with DOS Anyway..i think that the mount for dosbox is intalled on one of my CD-drive..thing is they dont work :not_ok: i put a CD in it and noting ! they dont even appear on my desktop..anyway not part of the topic :whistling: Thanks for a reply IM the one who asked the questions about the gemfire and uncharted waters 2*** |
what did you type inside DOSBox and what do you expect to happen ?
|
Until you post more detailed information about your problem, I can only refer you to this FAQ.
|
mount C C:\DOS\CDrive
mount D D:\ -t cdrom C: CLS thats what i typed ..and well i expected that the running file would not only open a full black screen then back to a smaller one..nothing written on it |
I'll try to be more precise..i got 3 downloaded games..Gemfire,Uncharted waters 2 and Hexx
I also got those 2 ''progams'' DosBox and i downloaded D-Fend for it..(dont really know where it went though) :ph34r: but i was able to import a file in it..but still cant run it...i also got VDMS and it does pretty much the same thing as i'll say below with the files I extracted all the files from Gemfire..and thats when i gets complicated i tried opening KOEI.COM all it does : a full black screen comes up then a smaller one then back to normal..nothing else then with the MAIN.EXE file well its not better..full black screen comes upand written on top : File not opened : moushou.dat, thats the name of a file i have extracted along with all the other one I read a lot of questions and answer here in the forum before writting ..and maybe it would be that i have to configure the settings and the sound :boxing: i hope not cuz i suck at this and dont really know how Hope you'll be able to help more or if you want me to be more precise on specific point please tell Thanks |

Is your oldgame directory under C:\DOS\CDRIVE (in Windows) ? Is your optical drive under letter D (in Windows again) ? If you have problems using DosBox, try doing it this way or try using a frontend program (D-Fend and DosBoxer are recommended by most users). |
Thanks for the quick answer..dont worry fifth horseman we're getting somewhere im less stupid then i was about all this runnning old games thing
Q 1 :So..yep i tried this drag thing into Dosbox did it with MAIN.EXE file..and its opening to a full black screen and then back to a small black screen and i remarked that once the smaller one open,my tool bar is all wrong : different color and pretty much all the screen itself is all ''fuzzed up''(dont know if i can say that),,Any clues? Q 2 :And do we absolutly have to change sound setting and reading speed..cuz they say u should but they dont say from where and how :ph34r: Thanks :ok: P.S. BTW yes i pretty much blindly followed the tutorial :whistling: but now i got a old games file on my C drive and changed the configuration in dosbox for it |

Change them to "fullscreen=true" and "fullfixed=true", respectively. This will make DosBox start up in fullscreen mode, which just MIGHT help with that problem. Quote:
The values that are default for DosBox (and therefore those you need to enter) are: Sound Blaster 16 Adress 220h Interrupt (IRQ) 7 DMA 1 |
Just changed the fullscreen to true(we're getting closer) couldn't find the fullfixed anywhere though ..checked Everywhere! on the page and no..can it have another name? i got fulldouble and the other one is fullresolution just under fullscreen line
Just another proof of my incompetence..where do you change the Dosbox values cuz i think it might a big part of the problem Thanks |
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.p...age=dosbox.conf
Fullfixed is about the third setting in DosBox.conf. |
