As people above have said code120, just like me, 0.73 works fine, except for obvious Daggerfall bugs.

I play Daggrfall on max, using DDRAW and SB16 sound. I use the Fall.exe Z.cfg to start the game, so it uses the viewplyr.dat forWASD and mouse look. I tweaked the shaders to give less pixellation (easy to muck around with options when you use a GUI front end!) and all works fine! The game though, …
No DOSBOX version can find CD
Posted on 2009-07-11, 23:30
I get the cannot locate CD whenever I use any DOSBox version, and front-end for DOSBox or VDSound. I can only run it, with problems using the Bethesda XP patch, but I would rather run the game in DOSBox to get better sound and smoother movement. Never had this problem where the CD cannot be found in …

To view the conf file used when calling DOSBox from D-Fend Reloaded: (Select profile) -> (right mouse click on it) -> "View DOSBox conf file" from the context menu or (Select profile) -> "Profile" menu -> menu item "View DOSBox conf file" or (Select profile) -> Toolbar button "Edit" -> "View DOSBox …

"Autoexec" is the last section in any DFR profile. There you can specify programs you want to launch before the game. Ah, thank you! Learnt something new again - it never ends does it?! :) I think I have just found the answer, believe it or not, it seems to be working now I have chosen SB16 as the …

Start -> programs -> dosbox 0.73 -> configuration -> edit configuration Thanks copied it and made the conf exactly the same, and in 0.65 through to 0.73 I can get the animated intro when I use DOSBox direct. When I use D.O.G. or D-Fend I get the slideshow. At this point i'll give up and just play …

Generally I am pleased with D-Fend Reloaded, as I was with D-Fend before it. However, something is lacking in MSDEX as while I can run X-Com Terror From The Deep with the animated intro directly though DOSBox and yet through D-Fend I get the slideshow intro. I believe X-Com TFTD decides to play the …

I can play the animated intro to TFTD in XP, but not the game, but in DOSBox,I get the slideshow intro not the animated intro... What am I doing wrong?

I have lots and lots of retro games installed. Congratulations. Yes, you might like to know they include Red Baron, Aces over Europe and Silent Hunter Commander Edition! Last night I installed a 1998 strategy game called Spellcross (by SCI/Cauldron) too. After installation the game wouldn't …

Read page one. I did, you didn't or you didn't get it. My post saying got it followed the post politely saying 'try mount c c:\' So I don't know why you say 'I didn't get it'. Also, given this is the first time I have had to do this to get a game working - in over 4 years of playing DOS games …

Certainly I have added the 'mount c c:\' to my toolkit and will be more willing to try it in future. Whoooo so we have a TWO PAGE thread and you still didn't get the real point? I have lots and lots of retro games installed. They are all working perfectly okay. I'd rather have my games on any drive …

There are some apps/games that will choke if the CD-ROM letter is not contiguous, i.e. no drives in between the c: drive and the CD-ROM. If you are mounting only a c: drive and a CD, mount the CD as d:, even if your real CD/DVD is another letter. You are absolutely correct. But, in truth, I have …

Well,I must admit, my PC is a little different. When I built my last PC, I bought the case from a UK Company called Maplin, they are a general PC/Electronics store like Tandy in the U.S. Well, they had a sale on 'hard disk caddies'. Down from £12 ($16) to £5 (($7.50) with the caddie holder free if …

Thanks for the pie MiniMax - very tasty! For everybody else, in my defence, there is always a learning curve with each and every DOS, Win 3.1 or Win98 game you install in DOSBox/Virtual PC/XP on a modern PC. I have installed dozens of DOS games into DOSBox and never used mount c c:\ as I have been …

Pleased to tell you that mounting c c:\ seems to have fixed the problem! QBix, my DVD is M as I have multiple hard drives. For all previous DOS games I have just mounted M as M: with no problem, so generally, although you can set any letter within DOSBox for your DVD drive, I have never had a …

Firstly I have mounted to c c:\dynamix\aodcd and m m:\ -t cdrom. I have also used the D.O.G. front end to tweak all the various options to try. I have narrowed it down to a weirder problem: On the second try I managed to get the game running by installing the game from within DOSBox, I thought I had …
