New game. Any Ideas?
Picked up a CDROM of "Microcosm" - by all appearances, based on Asimov's novel (& follow-up movie) "Fantastic Voyage" about a micromini-sub travelling through a body. Seems it might be a worthwhile game.
Except I cant Install it! It either doesn't recognise the directory I put want to put it in (D:\DOS, already extant) or it says I need to install MSCDEX. Since I'm using DosBox on XP, this shouldn't be a prob., should it? For info, I attach part of dosconf: "[fullscreen=false fulldouble=true fullfixed=false fullresolution=800x600 output=surface hwscale=1.00 autolock=true sensitivity=100 waitonerror=true priority=higher,normal mapperfile=mapper.txt [dosbox] language= machine=vga captures=capture memsize=64 [render] frameskip=15 aspect=false scaler=normal2x [cpu] core=dynamic cycles=5000 cycleup=200 cycledown=200" Thanks in advance |

also, what exactly was you typing out when trying to install it? what drive letter is your cdrom?

That game apparently need the CD. -> mount a virtual C: and -> mount your CD drive as D: mount d x:\ -t cdrom Replace the x:\ by your real CD drive letter under windows. Install the game from d: on c: IN dosbox. BTW, weren't you the one on a crappy PC? Then you'd better make an ISO from your CD and mount that one, works a bit faster in dosbox. You mount your image as this: imgmount d x:\path\image.iso -t iso Or if you use bin/cue: imgmount d x:\path\image.cue -t iso [Edit] BTW, edit your dosboxconf and set: core=auto cycles=max

Here's my Autoexec: "[autoexec] # Lines in this section will be run at startup. mount C C:\ mount D D:\DOS\ -freesize 512 mount E E:\ -t cdrom ioctl [imgmount d x:\path\image.iso -t iso] *just added now* D: CLS" |

then you mount over that a virtual D: as harddrive, then you mount a CDdrive as E: and over that you mount a image as CD drive D: mount C D:\DOS\ -freesize 512 mount D E:\ -t cdrom Or mount C D:\DOS\ -freesize 512 [imgmount d x:\path\image.iso -t iso] *just added now* would be more like it, so you will have a virtual C:as harddrive and D: as CDdrive. And please get rid of that CLS, so you would see the dosbox devs put Don't mount your real C: as C in dosbox or something shouting right in ya face, and for good reasons. That -ioctl is pretty useless with dosbox 0.72, and if you're on Vista it's -noioctl you will -(MAYBE)- need NOT -ioctl.
