What filenames were returned?

I seem to be missing something. I have Blackthorne and I have DosBox.

However, I can't get Blackthorne to run. I've tried selecting SB Pro and SB (as I saw suggested somewhere) but bthorne.exe does the "normal" lockup (displays a message about MIDI and hangs). I also tried using setupg.exe and bthorneg.exe for Gravis Ultrasound support but get the same exact hang.

What exactly do I need to set in the dosbox config to get bthorne working?

[twilight23]

Never mind. I found the answer on Dosbox forums.

For anyone else still having problems, in the dosbox config:
core=dynamic
cycles=20000
sbtype=sbpro2

Those changes got it working for me.

I'm having this same problem. Can anyone help me with this?

You probably skipped one or two very important things, as the error message indicates the executable is not present in the directory you're trying to run it from.

In order to know what's exactly going on and so help you resolve your problem, I need you to answer these questions:
* Where have you unpacked the game to on your HDD?
* Did you modify your DOSBox autoexec? If no, skip to the next question. If yes, what did you put in it?
* What exact commands have you entered after starting DOSBox?
* Repeat everything you did until you get the error, then enter the DIR command. What does it return?

-I unpacked it on C. It looks like this C:\BlackThorne.
-I did not modify it, so I'm skipping to the next one.
-I enter these commands:
Mount c C:\blackthorne
c:
dir
setup
At this point I save settings and exit. After that, it says, "Setup complete! Type 'BTHORNE' to start game." However, it says that BTHORNE is an illegal command after doing so.
-This is what I get:

Just like I presumed, the directory does not contain an executable of the name you are trying to run.

Try running Black.exe.
