Hello Everyone I Just Recently Bought A New Comp With WinDows XP And For Some Reason I Cant Get These Games To Work On My Pc

Jazz The JackRabbit
One Must Fall 2097 [ OMF ]
Stone Breaker

What Happenes When I Load The Game Is It Starts To Load Like It Normally Dos In Dos I Get A Quick Black Screen And Then Nothing Shows Up ....Like It Juast Cancels Out ....Like It Didnt Even Load The Game Or Somethin ....

How Can I Get These Games To Work On My New Comp

Any Help I Would Greatly Apreciate It THANKS EVERYONE SpeedFighter !

DOSbox is your best bet to get it working, which part of DOSBox are you gaving trouble with?

For me it wasnt so much there being a problem with DOSBox itself but just that I cant really find the proper commands. Ppl will reply to topic and leave afew out. It would just be nice to have like an instrustional thing to work from that has all you need instead of different ppl telling you different things.

You might want to check this out, it could help you out a little. Other then that post something like *Warning I'm a DOSBox n00b* at the start of your post and people will know not to leave anything out

Hey Wally the VDM Sound link in that thread is expired, Might want to update it with this one. I would do it myself but I'm not one for thread necromancy.

Here you screwed up, probably a typo or so in your folder names, if the folder C:\dos\cdrive exist it will work.

And get rid of that CLS, so you can read what's going wrong and what error message dosbox returns.

But if I would be you, I would get rid of that c:\dos\cdrive,
keep it simple friend, you will screw up easily enough as is. -Happens to me too ;)

Create a c:\games and mount that as c:

mount c c:\games
mount d d:\ -t cdrom
c:

Much better. 'If' your real cd drive letter is D.

# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
mount C C:\games
mount F F:\ -t cdrom
C:

thanks ok.it now says:

Z:\>mount F F:\ -t cdrom
MSDEX INSTALLED.
drive F: is mounted as CDRom F:\

Z:\>C:
Drive C does not exist

You made typos somewhere, really.
Check, double, triple check.

Try to input at your prompt (Z:\> thingy is that)
mount c c:\games
c:
and look what it says.
IF your C:\games exist it will do this:

I may hope you created a c:\games whilst in windows ??????????
(mine is e:\games, disregard that, it's simply another partition I use)

And if F is your real cd drive letter in windows the mount line must be:
mount d f:\ -t cdrom
That will give you D as cd drive in dosbox.

ALWAYS mount your CD as D in dosbox, or sooner or later you gonna have trubbles with games that only recognise D as CD drive (yes, those bastards exist, really).

ok sorry i took so long to respond back but my life happened lol.

1.C:\DOS\CDrive\OMF that's where the game setup is
2.I have C:\games
3.This is how my dos confi looks:
[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
mount C C:\games
mount D F:\ -t cdrom
C:
4.My DosBox now shows C:\ but i can't get the game to run through Dos Box

Long time to respond????
Who are you?
As far as I know it's the first post here from you.
As far as I know you're never been here before.

Precise error message ?
All your inputs?
ALL of them.
ALL.
Everything.
