I remember the game has some freaky path verification. Try:

mount c ~/DOSgames/
c:
ja.exe

Hmm -- no good: 'illegal command'.

The game has freaky path verification? Seems all of the Jagged Alliance titles are doomed to be buggy and unpredictable?? :cheesy:

ok, here's how you do it.

go to ~/DOSgames/
rename ja1 to jagged

run dosbox

mount F:~/DOSgames/
F:
cd jagged
JAVM.BAT


-it has to be exactly the f:\jagged\javm.bat, otherwise it won't work


oh and pps. BUY A PC FOR GOD'S SAKE

If you could wait until tomorrow, I'll make a detailed check when I'm back at home.

I think one of the files in the game directory stores the path where the game "looks" for its data.

I started typing my post before yours showed up. Guess I won't have to worry about it then. :amused:
