There’s a little problem with the game though. If you wish to save the game will require an old floppy B drive, so unless you have it and can enter an empty diskette into it, you won’t be able to save. Do not even attempt to save, because the game will stop at that point and you’ll have to exit it the hard way. So you will have to play it thorough in one goal (which is a downside, but not due to the game’s fault), unless you’re able to emulate the B drive (or actually have it).

It might be possible to imgmount a blank floppy disk image as drive B to solve that problem.

Sounds like a good idea. I'll try to do it and let everybody else know. Thanks for the suggestion (regular B: mounting doesn't help any).

You can use WinImage to create one.

The trial version of the program works for 30 days (not since installation, but rather 30 days in which it has actually been used) and is fully functional.

It's been very handy for myself when I was experimenting to get Wibarm onto a single bootable disk image (which I managed, BTW - works like a charm).

Is there anything wrong with the review of the game? I just can load the blank page of the game's site...

Works fine for me !

I bet you don't need such low-level support, simply mounting a folder will likely work. Problem is that you'd need to specify the real Windows folder, not the virtual DOSBox one, and that could be different for every person.

From what Sebatianos wrote, he already tried that and failed.

Plus, some of those old games run better from the floppy than from HDD. Try running Wibarm from a mounted HDD... then from a floppy image mounted in a virtual FDD. From the floppy it starts up alomst instantly, from HDD you wait... and wait... and wait.

[Sebatianos]

Yup, couldn't make it work by just assigning a folder on my HDD.

I tried imagemounting something an image of an empty floppy, but got no luck. The problem is, the game doesn't give any error reports, it just won't let you save and it freezes, so I don't know if it didn't recognize the mounted image as a B: drive, or there was something it didn't like about the disk or something. It was strange.

I'll see what can be done.
