you don't need daemon tools, you can mount isos with iso parameter. and to play you don't need to mount it again, only in case you are restarting dosbox so you will never have to type both of your paragraphs at once

IMGMOUNT has, on quite a few PCs - I don't know why -, tough times with some ISOs/games, and Wizardry VII is one of them.

Btw: I found the respective config spot and successfully edited it, thanks to my little Hex Workshop v2.54.
If wanted, I can prepare an easy-working pre-installed Wizardry VII, zip and supply it.

This is an excellent title. I keep an old computer with this and a few other classic titles on it at our countryhouse where we spend christmas and so on, and I've played it every year for the last 10 years or so. The only thing that bothers me a little is the diplomacypart, which to me seems a bit overrated.

Default "Disk Error" on save

Hi,

I'm completely new to this way of running old games on the computers of today.

I downloaded and ran Dosbox, downloaded Abandonia's Wizardry VII file.

Everything works great except when I try to save game I get a "Disk Error" message.

Please tell me if there is some simple thing to fix this.

Thanks

In Windows, look up the "properties" of the game folder and make sure the "read only" box is unchecked.

Luchsen,

Read your post about a easy working pre-installed zip. That would be great as I am a really creative carpenter but a less than average computer operator.

Where can I get this if you have supply it?

Thanks for your help.
