Grab the attachment and unpack it somewhere.
DDfloppy.ima is an image of an empty pre-formatted 720k floppy.
HHfloppy.ima is the same, except it's for a 1,44 MB floppy.

In DOSBox you can mount those images as if they were real floppies with the following command (of course, you'd replace the red part with the name and location of the image on your drive):
IMGMOUNT A [location and name of the floppy image] -t floppy

im confused? did u d/l it from here or u own it? coz the d/l from here, thru dosbox, saved fine for me :-/

while this is bein discussed can someone plz check my entry (the latest) on the Future Wars discussion thingy coz i still need help

[Fubb]

I downloaded it from here, maybe I need to mount it differently when in dos boX? Cus my mount is...

Z:\>Mount C: C:\
(Mounting C:\ IS NOT RECOMENDED< YOU CRAZY!)
Z:\> C:
C:\cd \FUTURE
FUTURE>FW

And now game runs, but when i wanna save, it says

"Please insert Backup floppy disk in drive a:"
"No floppy disc in drive a:"

For some reason the save name thingy still goes yp though, the save name is fubb, and when I died, I tried to restore the game and it said

"Please insert floppy in drive A:
No floppy in drive A:
Unable to restore game"


...or something like that...do I need to have my Future Wars in a different directory? Right now it's just in C:\Future

Or am I using the wrong .exe? Because there is the FW.exe, the FW short cut, and the install.exe....im using FW.exe....

[ysorian]

im usin FW (.what i dont know) ... my stuff is on a D:\games drive so im mountin c: as d:\games then into \future... dont know sorry maybe 5th can help

Did you even bother to read my previous post? Try doing what I told you.
