Help using Dosbox

Postby Silverhaze on Sun May 04, 2003 12:21 am

Anybody give me any pointers here?

I load it up and it says it cant see the C: when I type the command

Ive tried dragging the file I want to load on the exe and also dragging the folder.

WHen I did that it allowed me to see the contents of that folder so I ran the old setup file like in all old dos games and the program just quits.

what game are you trying to get working ?

what command are you typing ?

the dosbox isn't real dos so depending on the age of the proggy and what it is trying to do you could be up the creek without a paddle.

of course there are other options like Bohcs and virtualPC etc...
Cheers,

Release.

I am trying to run Death Rally. Im pretty sure it was one of those games brought out towards the end of DOS and the start of Win95.

There are 2 exe files in the folder.

DR.exe
Setup.exe

When I type either one the program just exits.
