can't get ascendancy to play on dosbox.
I got help here about a year ago for this problem. A guy from Zagrab solved it for me.
I installed Ascendancy and dosbox, but I can't get it to mount the e drive (cdrom) to my c drive which is where I have mounted the c:\ascend. |

Every time I try to mount the drive I get a failure.
mount c c:\ascend drive C mounted as local directory c:\ascend\ mount c e:\ -t cdrom MSCDEX Drive c already mounted with local directory C:\ascend\ so I try mount d e:\ -t cdrom Drive d is mounted as CDROM e:\ mount d c:\ascend\ -t cdrom MSCDEX failure Drive letters of multi cdrom drives must be continious |

It is quite normal that it doesn't work. What exactly are you trying to do? I'll type it in for you.
You could also simply try to drop the c in Quote:

Ok, my cd drive is e:
Ascend is saved on my c: as C:\ascend So I have to mount a hard drive (c and then it has to read it off the CD. I had it written down but lost it in my last move, I know it isn't alot of typing but I can't remember after I mount the e drive how to get the C: to read from it. If I mount c c:\ascend it will load and up the logic factory info and then it asks for the cd to be inserted. |

Well then, I think your mistake is that you forgot the double coma. You should write "mount d: c:\ascend -t cdrom" instead.

Not very clear all .... do you have the CD weavka32?
If yes, those are -(probably)- your mount lines: mount c c:\ascend mount d e:\ -t cdrom c: cd ascend That puts you in c:\ascend with CDDrive E mounted as D: However, if you installed the game from CD you must use the same drive letter as the one you used when installing the game. Example, if you used E your CD mount becomes: mount e e:\ -t cdrom We can't know what letters you used. In the worst case, start over from scratch and reinstall the game.

Yes I have the cd installed from drive e (cdrom) onto my drive c (harddrive)
I used the mount c c:\ascend mount d e:\ -t cdrom c: cd ascend and got a "unable to change to: ascend." message Then got the same message using mount e e:\ -t cdrom c: cd ascend I even tried mount e -t cdrom and got some usage error. Thanks for the help by the way, this dosbox thing drives me nuts when I have to use a cd... |

Ah the joy of ol'games and peeps that mixup the paths.
Lets try this the usual way, meaning you mount a folder as virtual C in dosbox, it's still the best way to get things working. Whilst in Windows create a folder c:\oldgames\ Drag drop your c:\ascend folder on it so you get: c:\oldgames\ascend\ Now run dosbox and input: mount c c:\oldgames mount d e:\ -t cdrom c: cd ascend That should do it IF you used D as cd-letter when installing the game. ************************************************** ****** Or simply start from scratch, maybe it's for the best as you have the CD. Delete your old c:\ascend folder. Whilst in Windows create a folder c:\oldgames\ Run dosbox and input: mount c c:\oldgames mount d e:\ -t cdrom d: Install from D to C:\ascend -(that's in dosbox, dosbox will regard c:\oldgames as C: , in windows it will look as c:\oldgames\ascend)- Next time you wanna play: Run dosbox and input: mount c c:\oldgames mount d e:\ -t cdrom c: cd ascend

nope still doesn't work, I get a unable to change to :ascend message just like I did last time I tried that method. Like I stated in the other post I saved the game on the the C: since I don't have a D:. When I try to it with a C: instead of a D: I get, something was already mounted to this local drive.
