Doesn't work with my version when it isn't runned directly from the prompt. If I mount it as usual (c: and cd 'space') saving/loading gives me a 'disk error'. Saving/load works when game is runned directly from prompt (C:\ or D:\ doesn't matter). Must be that there are different versions on teh net. Ah the joy of cracked/ported console games.

Anyways, after installing the game either from the .ima file or from the same preinstalled dir the save feature works, even if the folder is placed in a subdirectory.

TA: You probably could get away with using a blank disk image mounted with IMGMOUNT. I think I had one or two somewhere around. http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/sho...1&postcount=29 |

 @zirkoniWorks indeed.  Remark: the game folder must be mounted as C: and game must be run from c:\ root, no subfolders or it won't work. Means that if you automount a virtual C in autoexec you have to unmount that first. [Edit] If you don't want to unmount your virtual C you also can mount the game as D: root and run the game from D:\ (again: no subfolders) Works also. |

| TotalAnarchy | For some reason I thought I had a floppy drive on my new PC, but it seems I don't :\ I'll try out the rest of the suggestions soon. | ||

This worked for me: install the game from c: to c: install.bat c: ...and run the game from the new installation. |

What a b*tch to get the save/load working. Aaaaah the joys of a poorly ported atari game. That's how I got the save/load working: Go back to the ol'days of atari and the floppy merry go round !! Copied all files on a floppy. Mounted floppy drive in dosbox as A:\. Run game from floppy in dosbox. Saving: Hit 'save icon' , switch 'gaming' floppy with an empty one Hit F6 and give savingpoint a name Hit enter To continue game switch back to 'gaming' floppy. Load: Hit load icon Switch 'gaming' floppy with 'save' floppy Hit F10 to load savegames list Hit F1-F2-F3..... to choose wanted save point and hit F6 You will get message 'insert VGA disk2' Switch back to 'gaming' floppy to continue playing. Maybe I remembered some Fx keys wrong, but don't think so ....) I may hope you still have a working floppy drive ......but the gaming/save/load can work with a virtual floppy or an external USB floppy drive. Fact is: apparently the game refuses to save on the same floppy as the game is, you need an empty floppy. Savegames are named ****.mde , approx 13KB each.  Wouldn't save/load whatever I did when run from C:\ prompt The game is not interesting enough to spend much time on it trying things out. WHAT A BORING GAME !!!!!! [Edit] Maybe that can help: Game also runs in VPC2007/MsDos 6.22 and then you could use VPC's save state as kinda savepoint. *maybe* |

Insert Save Disk - Murders in Space The answer might be really simple, but I fail to see it. So I'm playing Murders in Space to review it for the site, and every time I try to save the game a "Insert Save Disk" message appears. What would cause this and how to solve it? Now that I remember, Murders in Venice had a similar problem that prevented me from saving it, but now the issue is most annoying, because there's a very tricky space walk I have to perform, and running out of oxygen can happen really fast... I already died once, and the Game Over message told me "Now Earth has one new satellite, and that satellite is you!" or smth like that Help is most appreciated.
