Thought dos games only came in floppy disk format. Me that that there is no cdrom present and must be inserted lol. Thanks to that pause command-most versions of games that dont work. I think you have both managed to figure it out though.
#Dosbox frontends rar#
Old dos games online in rar or zip format, and some never worked. Its mainly out of curiousity and getting to know dosbox, there are plenty of Maybe related to DOSBox? I'm sure you have your reasons, but if you found a working version, why not use it? It's unlikely that an old game would use XML to write configuration files. It's functionally equivalent to running the STARTREK.EXE file with DOSBox. Exactly what would happen if you double-clicked it. This will clear the whole window the game is about to be run in.

If the game fails to run and gives a reason, you'll be able to read it and troubleshoot further.īTW, the. The "pause" command will stop the window from closing before you can see what happened. Create a new file in your "trek" directory named test.bat (or whatever you want to call it. I would also try to find out exactly what the error is. Version of the same game, all dos, but some work in the launcher byĭosraider gives good advice (as usual). I bought a collection of dos games, and it can have more than one Needed to do anything else in the launcher to get them working.
What the most likely reason would be for some games not to work, or if I Perhaps my original exe is simplyĬorrupt, or the problem may be due to another reason (eg itsĪnother version of the game, or meant for another version of dos that It does not haveĪ bat and its exe does not run. If I set the startrek.exe or startup.bat as the main executable in theīut my original version shown in my image doesnt run.

I have used DOG with 0.72 with no problems. have this capability?Īlthough I'm ignorant of the programming involved, it is ridiculous in principle for the performance of a given game to potentially deteriorate with every new version of DOSbox, at least at this late stage of development.
I like the idea that it will manage different versions of DOSbox. users have 0.72? I assume everyone who has posted in this thread is using 0.72, at least for some games.

doesn't have an update for the latest release of DOSBox. The last DOSbox update was almost a year ago, so anything updated after August of 2007 should be good to go.
