You should just stop responding to them... you have 2 posts I think both are stickied and say something like "READ ME TO GET YOUR GAMES WORKING IN [specific os]" So really, if they're too retarded to you know... use their heads, then screw 'em.

Dosbox issue

I got Dosbox 0.65.
Made sure ems=true in the config file
Am relatively sure that i installed the game on C: and tried running the game on Dosbox. but it keeps telling me that it is unable to change to C:\domain.
Actually im a bit confused as to what i have done so far as i have done a little bit of everything that different guys on your forum have suggested.
What to do?
P.S. I tried registering for this site but have not received any confirmation email yet.

Hey - I downloaded this game and have tried several ways to get it to run but when I go to start it, it just sits there and won't do anything. I've been using DOSBOX for a while now, so the general setup and such I understand, but this one game, I just can't get to work. Any suggestions?

OS?
Mount lines?
Dosbox version?

Hey - I'm using Windows XP and DOSBox v.0.73
I've tried the CD mount and making sure the ems is set to true. I've installed it, run right from the zip file directory, etc. I just can't get it to work. I included some screenshots to help illustrate what I'm doing. I'm ok with using DOSBox, but for some reason, I just cannot get this game to work.
As of this posting, I still do not see the game available on this site to download, although it looks like it used to be here. The copy I downloaded is from abandonia but from what I've read in the forum, it doesn't appear to be different.
I am using the methods illustrated in the screenshots and the problem is, when I go to start the game, it just sits there and does nothing. No error messages, no memory issues (as I've read about) no CD issues... nothing. Just sits there. Thanks for your help!

Now then, AB has an active forum, and a troublehooting sub.
http://www.abandonia.com/en/forum
You can get all the support you wish over there.

I suppose I can try there, but I came here first to download it but it wasn't here. There was however a lot of threads here on how to get the game running and you seemed to be pretty good at helping people troubleshoot stuff like this. Oh well, thanks anyway.

Now,I did downloaded AB's version, unzipped the whole stuff on dosbox's virtual C:
Ran the game and I didn't had any problem, so it's safe to assume you screwed up somewhere.
FYI: I use 7zip to decompress, be sure you have everything in that \domain\ folder.
You seem to miss a whole lot of subfolders in your \domain\folder ....
Delete and start over from scratch friend, your \domain\ folder is a total screw up.
[Edit]
That's whats in AB's game archive:

That's how it looks after uncompressing, notice the subdirs!!!

I recently wanted to try to get this game to work again. Was wondering if this method will work with the original CD.

On pag one there is explained how to proceed with original CD.
Windows 95

Would it be easier to boot up windows 95 to play old games? Can I put Windows 95 on a partition of my hard drive?

Win95 on modern hardware......????? That will be the day.
In other words: forget it.
And: 'easier' than dosbox? Get real will ya.
