Re: Police Quest SWAT - "full install" possible?

Three years later, I found a solution beyond having to mount each CD... some wonderful person made a custom installer that copies the whole game - each CD - to the hard drive the way I was hoping for! I found it quite by accident, but if anyone is digging through old posts and wanting the same thing …

Re: D-Fend Reloaded (new frontend)

Hi Alexander! Just come back from being interstate for work, and was thrilled to see D-Fend Reloaded updated! V2 has some great improvements and fixes (though "updating" didn't fix things... I had to reinstall fresh). Off the top of my head, without delving into the new V2 stuff too much yet, would …

Re: D-Fend Reloaded (new frontend)

Thanks for checking that out, Alexander. I use Inno Setup a lot, but haven't tried NSIS before so wasn't sure if it was a bug with that or what... doesn't really bother me, I just was concerned there was a problem with my finished installer. I might look into the ability to break installers into " …

Re: D-Fend Reloaded (new frontend)

I can't wait to try it, Alexander! Great stuff... sounds cool! Thanks heaps for fixing everything so fast (love the sound of the multi-mount automation, too!). One thing I noticed the other day that may be a bug or may be something just on my end (not that major) is that when I was making some …

Re: Waterworld... Does it run on DOSBox?

I recently got Waterworld and was just playing it tonight... it seems to run just fine on the latest DosBox (I even copied all the CD files to a "WATERWLD\CDFILES" directory and I don't need the CD to play). Aside from that, I don't think I did anything special to get it running, but if anyone is …

Re: D-Fend Reloaded (new frontend)

Alexander, you're a legend! Thanks for fixing those bugs (especially the word wrap one that really threw me for a few minutes trying to figure it out)! I've had DosBox be a pain with long paths before (the limit is normally fine, unless you're trying to mount 4+ cd images!), but not to the extent I …

Re: D-Fend Reloaded (new frontend)

Hi Alexander! Just thought I'd mention, I just found my first "annoying" bug in D-Fend Reloaded (by that, I mean something that actually stops me doing what I need to do, rather than just some little typo or minor bug). That is, when I want to play a multi-cd game, I normally mount all the images …

Re: D-Fend Reloaded (new frontend)

Alexander.... your solution to the "data folder" idea is exactly what I was thinking of last night, actually, when I noticed how the DosBox readme was accessed from D-Fend Reloaded... I love the idea of the multiple option menu as in the screenshot! Great stuff! I haven't tested the serial port …

Re: D-Fend Reloaded (new frontend)

Thanks, Alexander! I'm really looking forward to the update... the new dialog window for ports/modems/etc. looks neat (am I right in assuming the stuff on the right hand side changes depending on if you select mode, serial, etc (ie. it will let you specify realport, delays, etc. if set to serial, …

Re: D-Fend Reloaded (new frontend)

Hi Alexander! The new extras package now installs Second Reality properly, although I still needed to "fix" the program file line for VGA Copy myself after installing. I know you're aware of the modem problems (ie. stuff like INN that works in DosBox doesn't work the same when started from D-Fend …

Re: D-Fend Reloaded (new frondend)

Hi Alexander, Yes, I am thrilled to see D-Fend continuing in your capable hands! Definitely my favourite front end, and your version is already better! I've already made a bunch of installers for all my favourite DosBox games and (apart from the afore-mentioned INN) they all work great. I used to …

Re: D-Fend Reloaded (new frondend)

Alexander, I just wanted to say a HUGE thankyou for this project! I love DosBox, and next to that (ok, that and ScummVM), this is the best thing ever! Why? Because D-Fend was by far my favourite frontend, and I was sad to see it "die"... but now you're not just reviving it but making it so much …

Police Quest SWAT - "full install" possible?

Hi folks! Pretty much a newcomer here, so hope I got this in the right section of the forums. I'm wondering if it's possible to play the DOS version of Police Quest: SWAT (the first one) completely from the hard drive under DOSbox 0.70? I play all my old Sierra games that way now, when possible, and …
