duplicate--Struggling with running an ISO game on Boxer
I'm trying to run one of the games from the ISO Cellar-- to be exact, Norse by Norsewest: Return of the Lost Vikings-- on Boxer (Boxer v1.1.1 20110802.1, Mac OS X 10.6.8). But I can't get it to work.
Here's a catalogue of what I've done. The screenshots should speak for themselves, but I will add narration whenever necessary. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1.../vikings_2.png This is what I got when I used JDownload on the link provided in the ISO Cellar. The folder in the upper left was not included, but rather what I got when I unzipped the .rar file, which I did because I had no idea what to do with anything else. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...gs_2Folder.png And here are the contents of that folder. The funny icon for the .exe file proves I have PlayOnMac (a Wine-based program for running Windows programs on Macintosh-- I don't really like using it) installed. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...S/DOSGames.png My Boxer game library with the game installed (highlighted). To install it, I just dragged the folder that came from the .rar file into the "Drag games here to install" doodad. Note the icon and how it differs from the one next to it; Boxer has some sense about when what I'm installing is supposed to be a disk image. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...gs_2_error.png And here's what I got when I tried to run it. First I ran the DIR command to confirm the contents of the folder, and then I clicked the name at the bottom of the window to launch the only file that appeared launchable. And in case they help anyone, here are a few possibly-relevant screens from Boxer's help catalogue: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...oxer_help1.png http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...oxer_help2.png http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...oxer_help3.png I can't help but feel I made a terrible mistake somewhere. I've tried looking through the tutorials to little if any avail. Any help anyone could provide is appreciated. This is so embarrassing for someone who majored in computer science in college... EDIT: Whoops, didn't mean to post two topics about this. I couldn't find the first one so I assumed I hadn't posted it... |
