HAHAHA! This is awesome! I go to some debate forums so I'm used to starting a ruckus but I certainly wasn't expecting one here! :eek:
Ok here is what I do:
I use my S: drive (I have a 20g OS partition, and the rest of the HDD is taken up with "Storage (S)" in case I ever need to blow out my OS for whatever reason) so at the autoexec part of the DOSBOX config file I have this:
mount c s:\dos\
c:
Dos is my folder at the root of S: I put all my games in for neatness sake
When is start the game I CD BUCK (I extracted the zip to that folder in the S:\DOS folder, I pick a name of less than 8 chars to extract all my game files to, again for neatness) and then run START, so it looks like;
C:\BUCK\start
and the game starts up... the SAVE folder, as well as the games config folder, are both in C:\BUCK\ and when I open the buck folder and run the game from there it saves games fine but as I've mentioned the game runs way too fast when executed directly on XP (though I'm suprised that it runs at all)
So from what I read, and correct me if I'm wrong, I'm pretty much already doing what was suggested above as far as where to mount, or was is suggested I:
mount c s:\dos\buck
c:
I'll try that while I wait for a reply and see what happens... Ok tried it and still can't save...
I've also tried adding a "save" folder to S:\dos\ (next to the BUCK folder) and no luck there either...I'll reread the mounting suggestion above and try that...
Also I dunno if it makes a difference but I installed DOSBOX to the S:\Program Files\ folder rather than on C:\ as I keep only "work related" programs on C: (office, etc) and have never had an issue with doing that so I am inclined to think that is unrelated, but letting you know for maximum config disclosure
