I downloaded King's Quest 1, but I am having trouble getting it to work.* I have DosBox version 0.61 for Mac OS X 10.3.4, with the Radnor frontend.* The files I downloaded come with two executeable .COM files, CDC.COM and KQ1.COM.* I assume that I am to run the KQ1.COM file.* When I do, the dos shell throws up a dialogue that says "Cracked Version Press Escape".* When I press the Escape key, I get another dialogue that says "Can't find picdir.* Press ENTER to try again.* Press ESC to exit."* Pressing ENTER just repeats the message.* Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

uhm could you post all files in the kinquest directory ?

[RCR]

Yes, I suppose it should go in the kingquest directory, but I got an error when I tried to put it there. I thought this was the next best place. I apologize if it seems out of place.

firstly, Mac, DoS and windows are 3 different systems so don't use mac logic wuith windoiws or Dos logic with Mac.

here is an example of what to do:

C:\oldgames\dosbox - But Dosbox here
C:\oldgames\kq1 - put kq1 here

I've heard there is a DOSBox Frontend for the MacOS X port out there somewhere..
Check this http://DOSBox.sourceforge.net/wiki site which is the DOSBox Wiki Guide.
Especially this link http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.p...DOSBoxFrontends It lists some frontends that are existing right now and that I'm aware of.

@ RCR...

I believe Data meant for you to list the files in your directory. Like:

C:\KQ1

KQ1.com
readme.txt
Sierra.exe
Install.exe
.
.
.



And so on

Thanks everyone for the replies. I found that I was not getting the complete file set downloaded with the browser I was using (Safari). I switched to Netscape and was able to download it all. It's great to see that members of this forum are so willing to help.

Thanks again.

Isn't that what members are for? :wink:

Just as I expected.

Support for the mac for realmode games is quite stable in dosbox.
