Post subject: Disk swapping in DOS games |
 |
|
| I've got a couple of good old DOS games (Moonstone and Eye of the Beholder 3) but they won't really work because the game tells me to swap disks. So, how do I get the game to know that the files are already on my computer? It's probably a real easy solution, but help would be appreciated. |

| Why? I have other DOS games that involve disk swapping, like Eye of the Beholder 2. Those work without me having to swap disks. And someone told me I simply would have to edit some file, but never really said what kind of file, so I came here looking for more specific help. |

oh ok..
Tell me, are you using dosbox or just XP?
b ecause if you are using xp the dosgame may be scrambling up somehow
Try using dosbox from dosbox.sourceforge.net and let me know how you go. |
