I think you shouldn't try installing it but rather running the executable

Yes, it's already in the installed state, just copy the game to a directory, setup sound & music through install.exe and play it (pir.exe or some .bat-files).

when using dosbox don't set memsize higher then 63 mb.(sure)
You might need to set core to full (not sure)

It doesn't work in Windows. Install dosbox, which is a dos emulator (You can download it here on abandonia). Run it from there. That should work. I have played Pirates Gold a lot without problems. Great game. k: If you have more questions, just ask!.

Try this:
Newbie's guide to DOSBox I didn't have a clue about DOS or DOSBox but this helped me get my games running. |

Yup. start dosbox.
First press Alt-Enter. This will maximize your screen. In the promth, write: "mount c c:/" (It doesn't have to be backslash, it may also just be a slash, my keyboard can't make a backslash in dosbox.) now, go to the directory where your game is, like you would normally do in dos, and run the executable file: cd games cd pirates pirates.exe ...Or whatever the filename is. Return when you have tried this, I would like to hear if you succeeds. |
