so, i'm trying to play a game called shakii, i did all the correct things. placed a programs folder inside the dos box directory. created a folder inside programs called shakii and put the files that are already installed into the shakii folder. i use dos box and enter all the correct directories and try to run shakii.exe but it says "cannot find drive" what is the reason for this? dos box doesn't JUST install dos programs right?
i've come across an error when i type in olddos it says illegal command ive looked at the other comment and how it says to make sure the olddos.exe is located in the programs folder but ive searched my computer and i cannot find the olddos.exe can u help?
I downloaded a torrent file for star trek final unity dos game and i did what you said to create a new file called game in the dos box file folder and the i created sub folder stfu and then mounted the mount c games\stfu and tried to install the program but it says the cdrom was not detected so how do i mount it
@siddiq007hunk First, make sure that olddos.exe is located in the programs folder and the programs folder is placed within the dosbox folder. Mount the programs folder in DosBox. Change to the c drive and change the directory to whatever folder is holding olddos.exe then type olddos at the command prompt and it should work. Also- If you are using Win XP, Qbasic will work without DOSBox. QBasic is compatible with Win XP
I laughed so hard when he first started centipede, ok I have a question I play DOOM on my laptop all the time with out dosbox and it works just fine and I got duke nukem 3d and it lags the whole time could you tell me why if you know, if I download dosbox would it help?

@SchoolFreeware What would really be nice if someone would make a Windows 95/98 emulator like Dosbox is a DOS emulator so I could play some Windows 95/98 games in Windows XP manly Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine and Grim Fandango which won't work on Windows XP or 7 even with Windows crummy compatibility options and no working patches for these games exist out there and some needs to make it where people can play old Windows 95/98 games like we can with old DOS games in DOSBox.
I seem to have 1 problem with running DOSBox. Well i can run most of my games - one game has been giving me some trouble. I go in and try to run it but it keeps giving me a error saying it doesnt have any ram. Help would be appreciated . Thanks in advance (Its Janes AH-64 Longbow - thought i would include that)

@saadparekh No you don't, and you can edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file in the .conf file so what way you don't have to retype anything in the dosbox command prompt.
this video was very helpful, I downloaded the program today and it works great. How do you exit out of DOSBox , I have to press cntrl alt delete and find DOSBox and shut it down?
DOSBOX is a great addition for modern Windows systems. You really should get it if you still have old DOS games in the basement. Not only that, you can install Win3.x on it for playing other old games that run far better on that platform. The sound drivers give you the perfect sound for the games - not like the generic Ad-Lib driver, which was what most people had to resort to in many cases in the early 1990s. They become better than you remember them. Thumbs up for DOSBOX!
@TheIhacklover2 Try This - if you are useing Windows 7 try changing the permisions of the dosbox folder. One user told me this was the solution:
Because in Windows 7 you have to move your dosbox out of your program files x86. I moved it to the desktop and it worked. for some reason it was asking me for permission to move files. I think because it was in the program files x86. since I moved it to the desktop it fixed it's self.
im trying to run chips challenge and i got all the way to C:\GAMES> and when i type the file name it says "This Program Requires Microsoft Windows" if anyone can help i would like it. thank you!!!
@BruceLee994 That means the game is for windows (probably windows 9x) and can't run on DOS. DOSBox is a DOS emulator, not a windows 9x (or NT) emulator.
If you want to use your old dos programs, it's better to use a virtual pc. I recommend VirtualBox. Dosbox has some limitations. No clipboard support between your windows and dos programs which I use a lot now. Officially no printer support, but you can use some modified dosbox version that supports printers (making it work is not easy for beginners)
But if you will play only games, dosbox is good enough
@gooshnpupp Qbasic and Turbo Pascal are programming languages that work with DOS. They are not needed to run games. It was just an example on how to install and work with some programs.
i got it. because windows 7 you have to move your dosbox out of your program files x86. i moved it to the desktop and it worked. for some reason it was asking me for permission to move files. i think because it was in the program files x86. since i moved it to the desktop it fixed it's self.
i got to the part at 3:30 and most of the files say PKSFX: (W10) Warning! can't create: Expand.exe and most of the others are that way too. how can i fix this. 4 of the files worked. The graphics.pro, monoumb.386 worked, readme.txt, and license.txt worked
hey im trying to install a game from a download but i cant it says that stupid 64 bit nonsense and i tried the dos it wasn found i dont know what to do
@oldtimmy If you need any help message me and i mite be able to help you step by step. There's vary few dos programs i have failed to get working on dosbox.
@Knapperr The link and installation is still working when I tried it out. If you are not in the correct directory when trying to run olddos.exe (to install qbasic) then olddos.exe will not run. Also If you want to use QBasic and have a 64 bit Windows Vista or Windows 7 system then take a look at QB64. This way you do not need DOSBox.
so when im done download wolfenstein 3d from vuze i should extract the files to program files (86) and install it but how do i install it and i already have dosbox and is there anything else i need to install
how do i use dosbox i just downloaded dosbox the other day and havent figure it out yet but i want to downlaod wolfenstein 3d from vuze on how do you install wolf 3d and how do i use dosbox with wolf 3d
I have DOSBox 0.74 on Windows XP. I have followed everything here and on other websites. Some programs run, but I tried running Prince of Persia 2 and it says "This program must be run under Win32." What should I do?
@gabogski Win32 is a 32 bit Windows program. It needs to run in Windows 95 or greater. I looked at the system requirements of Prince of Persia 2. There are some versions and variants of Prince of Persia 2 for DOS and some for Windows. You need to find the DOS version of the game(s) that you wish to play in DOSBox.
@SchoolFreeware Actually, I do. I tried to run it in DOS mode and it is a version for DOS. What I did to solve the problem was download another Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame from another source and it worked well. Thank you for the response :)
@secretmachineman117 The link is in the description of this video. DosBox is free and is the full version. On the Dosbox website is the manual (Dosbox Tutorial - upper right corner) that shows how to install from a cd (if wolfenstein 3d is on a cd). If not on a cd, then place the install files in a folder within the "programs" folder and run the installer from there.
lol i got windows 3.1 in dosbox. with windows 95 if i run the setup wihin win3.1 it freezes on the first part and i have to press ctrl+alt+del to get rid of dosbox.when i run it on ms-dos,whcih is the command prompt when u start dosbox, install windows 95 o there,it says some message and just blinks the cursor.nothing else happens at all.
I cant extract d files..it says cant create the files.pls help..it used 2 run fine before i did a system restore.I only use Qbasic without any games hence i didnt download turbo pascal...pls help
@SilverKnghit That probably means the game is for windows (probably windows 9x) and can't run on DOS. DOSBox is a DOS emulator, not a windows 9x (or NT) emulator.
i have the same problem with it i tried to mount it to c c: and to the directory then it will say somethin like illegal command so someone should tell me about this
I'm not entirely sure, but I believe that version .74 of DOSBox has a keymap error. The \ is missing. Being new to working within anything like DOS I assume this is a fatal error. Can you please verify?
@GKboards I have the same problem, but its not a dosbox error (well it could but Ive heard of this problem so many times and once Ive looked into it, it's always not been dosbox'es fault but this could be a first). To figure out what the problem is I'd need a lot more information but the "/" key does the same thing as the "\" key so just use that.
same problem as below. It was workining until i got to the olddos part, I'm on vista and am using dosbox.073. Instead, I just typed in install, and when I get to the part where it's about to download, it says error reading c: Idat/P. whatever that means. I'm not really good with comps, so help fixing this would be great. Thanks. I'm on vista trying to paly stonekeep

@010994wasdabestday OldDos contains the Qbasic programming language. OldDos can be downloaded from Microsoft. The location is in the description of this video.
@CongDanhVip Yeah, I found that out after a bit of messing around with it. Thankfully you can just drag the deal over the DosBox icon and it mounts the thing for ya since I have no clue how to do that manually.
Do you have down syndrome?

They become better than you remember them. Thumbs up for DOSBOX!

@TheIhacklover2 Try This - if you are useing Windows 7 try changing the permisions of the dosbox folder. One user told me this was the solution:
Because in Windows 7 you have to move your dosbox out of your program files x86. I moved it to the desktop and it worked. for some reason it was asking me for permission to move files. I think because it was in the program files x86. since I moved it to the desktop it fixed it's self.

BruceLee994 1 year ago
@BruceLee994 That means the game is for windows (probably windows 9x) and can't run on DOS. DOSBox is a DOS emulator, not a windows 9x (or NT) emulator.
archy9752 1 year ago
If you want to use your old dos programs, it's better to use a virtual pc. I recommend VirtualBox. Dosbox has some limitations. No clipboard support between your windows and dos programs which I use a lot now. Officially no printer support, but you can use some modified dosbox version that supports printers (making it work is not easy for beginners)
But if you will play only games, dosbox is good enough

what are the other two programs for? (turbo and qbasic)
are they important for running games?
sorry for noobish question [=
gooshnpupp 1 year ago
@gooshnpupp Qbasic and Turbo Pascal are programming languages that work with DOS. They are not needed to run games. It was just an example on how to install and work with some programs.

Knapperr 1 year ago
@Knapperr The link and installation is still working when I tried it out. If you are not in the correct directory when trying to run olddos.exe (to install qbasic) then olddos.exe will not run. Also If you want to use QBasic and have a 64 bit Windows Vista or Windows 7 system then take a look at QB64. This way you do not need DOSBox.

I have DOSBox 0.74 on Windows XP. I have followed everything here and on other websites. Some programs run, but I tried running Prince of Persia 2 and it says "This program must be run under Win32." What should I do?
gabogski 1 year ago
@gabogski Win32 is a 32 bit Windows program. It needs to run in Windows 95 or greater. I looked at the system requirements of Prince of Persia 2. There are some versions and variants of Prince of Persia 2 for DOS and some for Windows. You need to find the DOS version of the game(s) that you wish to play in DOSBox.
Have Fun
SchoolFreeware 1 year ago
@SchoolFreeware Actually, I do. I tried to run it in DOS mode and it is a version for DOS. What I did to solve the problem was download another Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame from another source and it worked well. Thank you for the response :)

@secretmachineman117 The link is in the description of this video. DosBox is free and is the full version. On the Dosbox website is the manual (Dosbox Tutorial - upper right corner) that shows how to install from a cd (if wolfenstein 3d is on a cd). If not on a cd, then place the install files in a folder within the "programs" folder and run the installer from there.

I'm not entirely sure, but I believe that version .74 of DOSBox has a keymap error. The \ is missing. Being new to working within anything like DOS I assume this is a fatal error. Can you please verify?

@GKboards I have the same problem, but its not a dosbox error (well it could but Ive heard of this problem so many times and once Ive looked into it, it's always not been dosbox'es fault but this could be a first). To figure out what the problem is I'd need a lot more information but the "/" key does the same thing as the "\" key so just use that.
