for daggerfall, you can make dump you original disk (in iso) on you hard drive and mount it with daemon tools. Then mount a cdrom with dosbox pointing to you daemon tools drive.

There is another way to play the game without cd but if i remember, you have to patch it to version 2.13, copy the game file from the disc to a folder call daggerfall and edit a file. It is easy to find with google. good luck.

If I'm not mistaken, isn't that the theme from Leisuresuit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards?

oups, it seem that i removed the last command by error....

anyway, to answer the last questtion.. here a quick list of what to type.

z:> mount c: c:\dosgame.

z:> c:

c:> cd\das_?

c:\das_?>

c:\ (the exe, bat or com file to start game)

are you familiar with DOS? because DOS by the way?

Ok, new problem. Now it says the disc isn't in the drive.

[pikachu5501]

look like a disc copy protection. What game is it?

You might be very clever with DOSBoX but you do not know how to spell!

Runing? its running!

There are plenty of other spelling mistakes in the video but I will leave it to you to find them.

Are you a noob to writing?

I write in Mount C: C:\(and the name of the place I have my games in) and press Enter, and I've tried different ways, like C without the : and stuff..

but it either say "Directory C doesn't exist" or "Usage MOUNT Drive-letter Local-Directory So a MOUNT c c:\windows mounts windows directory as the c: drive in DOSBox"..

And I don't get it..

really, I have no idea what I'm doing xD

please lend me a hand here?

(Windows Vista 64-bit sp.1)

[kyte07]

For some reason the game I have didn't have a exe,bat, or come file. does that mean that dosbox cant play it and if so is there any way to play the game.
