You're welcome, enjoy the game.

An interesting read is Japo's Most Useful Options in DOSBox.conf if you really want to learn about dosbox tweaks.
The "dosbox readme" itself is also interesting, but that's kinda elaborated with plenty of things you'll never ever will need......

And of course in all those Dosbox Tuturials you always can find something of interest for you.

Eagle of Fire Congratulation Z3rog. It is always great to see someone working hard to actually fix their own problems instead of waiting idly to be told what to do.

Come back whenever you like.

z3rog Thx for everything, got it all working. For some reason the cinematics are going ridiculously fast.. But i'll tend to that matter myself.

Thanks for everything!

Man man o manometer ... you really make a mess of things, really.

OK, Back to square one with you.

First read and apply this:

Then you'll have a properly mounted virtual c:\ in dosbox.


Next, mount your CD as D in dosbox.
mount d e:\ -t cdrom

Install the game from D: on C: in dosbox.

z3rog Ok thx, i nearly got it working now. Ive done all that but when i try to install it says my Drives aint got enough drive space.. i tried both D and C.. any ideas?

btw: sorry for being a dosbox noob


Picture shows what it looks like.

When the install shuts down it says
"Panzer General requires 3000000 bytes"

Another thing: I used "Mount C E:\ -t cdrom"

And the error occured.
*sigh*
Delete the game.
Mount the CD in DOSBox and install it from there. There should be a file named "install" or "setup" somewhere on the game disc.
Most likely the game needs to set some paths in its configuration file during the installation, and not having done so results in the mess you've got.

The Fifth Horseman Sounds like you've either got a path problem or a crippled copy (first being much more likely).
Did you install the game using DOSBox in the first place?
20-01-2010 07:09 PM
z3rog Yeah, i thought of that. But whenever i try to run it, it says "Failed to load @:\lib\drv\VESA480.dll"
20-01-2010 07:05 PM
The Fifth Horseman Yup, DOSBox.
