Yes it allows to save them ... in your own folders.
Install dosbox in c:\users\your_name\ and run it from there.
Same location for your virtual C:
Or use another partition then C: (if you have one...)

... Or run as 'administrator' (but that's not really the way to do things).

old posts here

why does nobody leave a track when moving something?! how is the newb supposed to know?!

One of them it comes up. Press any key to countinue, I do, nothing happends.

The other bat fil, Press any key to continue. I do, and it comes up: "Please enter install direcotery"

What I do now?

After completing the installation of the game, the dialogue box said that I have to remove the expanded memory manager. How do I do that? Thx

I'm guessing you don't want a permament change, since that would mess with games which require expanded memory.

Type in the following command:
ems=false
to temporarily disable expanded memory for the current DOSBox session.


How to, for really computer unsavy:
1. Download this: http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/att...4&d=1209413074
2. Unpack it into the directory you mounted as your C drive in DOSBox
3. Run DOSBox and mount your C drive.
4. Type in memory and press Enter.
5. You'll see a simple menu for changing EMS/XMS/UMB setting. Change the settings you need to and exit the menu
6. Run the game

hi.

Firstly, thanks a ton for all your work here.

I've followed your tutorial, and suprised I managed to get through it, thanks. Trouble is, I must be missing something.

I have downloaded ascendancy, which I have saved in c - oldgames - ascendancy.

It shows up in the split screen bit, on the left.

I can't work out how I'm supposed to actually run it.

I have made all the alterations to the bosbox script so it's in fullscreen etc etc.

what exactly do I type where it says "c:\>"? Do I double click on the game first?

Sorry to be a PITA

[iseemtobeanidiotpleasehelp]

Sorry for the double post, I wanted to add a screenshot.

This is as far as I can get.

With Norton Commander, you can double-click directories to open them and executables to run them (that's the whole point of having it installed, actually).

So double-click that ASCEND~1, then a file named ascend.exe in the listing that will open aaand... that's it.
