you still haven't told us the mount commands you typed.
Those are essential

NetSphere 24-08-2007 08:53 PM

C:
dir
md test
cd test

Those are the ones I've used by far.

Japo 24-08-2007 08:55 PM

Enter "mount" without parameters and tell us what info shows.

Mighty Midget 24-08-2007 08:57 PM

Please post the "mount" command, the line you typed to mount a virtual drive in DOSBox.

It should look something like this example:

mount c c:\dos\games

Also consider that your download of DOSBox itself was corrupted, in which case you need to download it again.

These are NOT drive mounts.

Am I supposed to understand you never ever mounted any drives and don't have any mounts defined in the [autoexec] section of dosbox.conf?

I'm asking you again - and for the last time - to post exact commands - every one - you entered after launching DOSBox and the [autoexec] section of your DOSBox.conf. Otherwise we cannot help you.

Can md even work in DOSBox? It's an old command to create directories under DOS, but I was under the impression that it's not a valid command under DOSBox.

:kosta: you are a long time dosbox user.
md has been supported at least since 0.50 (as since then the source is public available)

You might want to update one of these days. ;)

Even help/all>help.txt works.
Gives you a help.txt with: (after a bit of a cleanup)

ECHO>Display messages and enable/disable command echoing.
EXIT>Exit from the shell.HELP>Show help.
MKDIR>Make Directory.
MD>Make Directory.
RMDIR>Remove Directory.
RD>Remove Directory.
SET>Change environment variables.
IF>Performs conditional processing in batch programs.
GOTO>Jump to a labeled line in a batch script.
SHIFT>Leftshift commandline parameters in a batch script.
TYPE>Display the contents of a text-file.
REM>Add comments in a batch file.
RENAME>Renames one or more files.
Press any key to continue.
REN>Renames one or more files.
PAUSE>Waits for 1 keystroke to continue.
CALL>Start a batch file from within another batch file.

Good job from the dosbox team I would say.

I'm not the one needing help, I been mod of troubleshooting for a while here y'know. <_<

I never used MD as a command, and I frankly don't see why I would need to use it either. I always create the directories in Windows, unzip the game then use DOSBox to run the game.

On another note, the last DOSBox version I've installed on my computer is 0.63... :unsure:

The Fifth Horseman 28-08-2007 06:09 AM

I think you should update to 0.7x. It's several times faster than 0.63, and the stability and speed of Dynamic Core went through the roof. (tested that myself)
