Hello everyone.
So I tried to play Pool of Radiance via dosbox, when I made a character, the game asked me to insert disk 3 and then froze.
I thought this was just a bug for that game so I tried Champions of Krynn.
Did the same thing, it gave me an error.
Is there any kind of fix for this?
Cheers!

What exact error is Champions of Krynn producing?

Dunno about Pool of Radiance because we don't have it (do you want to review it? ), but it may be the same.

So your solution is in the second quote below: the game folder must be mounted inside DOSBox as "C:\COK\"

If you don't know how to do this, tell us how you're starting the game and DOSBox and we'll help you.

i start the game by typing this
MOUNT C: C:\COK
C:
START

That's the problem.

- Create a new folder "C:\Krynn"

- Move "COK" into that new folder, so you now have "C:\Krynn\COK"

- Start the game by typing:

mount c c:\krynn
c:
cd cok
start

It will work

Part of the problem might be that that the pool.cfg file has a line in it for where both the game is and where the saves go. I have a similar problem when I try to run Pool of radiance that is setup for dosbox in regular windows. My pool.cfg file is as follows:

E
P
C:\POOLRAD\
C:\POOLRAD\
N

But the game is installed in C:\DOSROOT\POOLRAD

The drive is mounted as MOUNT C: C:\DOSROOT.

All of the gold/silver box games as like this if I remember correctly.

can't you just change the config file then?

Absolutely, you can change the config file. Years ago I changed the save directory to A: so I could save to floppy. I still have some of those long after those hard drives have failed.

@Japo perhaps you should add the info about that in the Review under Notes?
