I obtained a copy of Ravenloft 1 Strahd's Possession that was set up to auto mount and auto run in dosbox. You just double click and it does everything for you.

I was not as fortunate with Ravenloft 2 Stone Prophet.

I managed to mount the iso file with this command and then run the application file with these commands:

imgmount d "C:\rloft2\ravenloft2.iso" -t iso

cd c:\rloft2

c:

sp


I get into the game and this is a relatively new computer. It will let me play some in minimized but if I go to maximize it won't let me do anything and it says something about colors in the program are not compatible with windows 7. I guess my first question if there is a version that works with just a double click can someone pm me and my second question how do I make this work in full screen? I was even able to import my characters from the 1st game.

Edit: The guy who made Ravenloft 1 just auto load all the dosbox commands, is he a programmer is that something hard to do? Or is it possible I can do something similar so I just double click the icon and this thing loads up?

You could try changing output mode or the size the window is displayed at to something near your fullscreen resolution. dosbox.conf is your friend there.

It's extremely easy.
DOSBox is designed to automatically run any commands placed in the [autoexec] section at the end of your dosbox.conf when it's started.

In fact, there are ways to combine that with the way DOSBox supports using multiple configs at once and create special shortcuts to run the game without overwriting your original config file

There's another, more powerful and portable solution, but it requires some additions to file associations (which I'm told is a little harder to do in Windows 7 than in XP). The upside is that once done you can use the .conf files directly to run the games, and moving to a different machine is as simple as copying over the files.

I'm running a derivative of that solution myself.
