DOS Games Discussion

[Guest]

Computer specs: Vista laptop with pentium Dual Core thing, loads of memory, pretty standard new laptop.

I'm using Dosbox first off, so no need to be rude.
I'll give you a list of issues I'm having, in hopes someone can help

I have all my games in a folder as such: c:\games\ (Insert title here)
Sometimes they're in a c:\games\games\ (insert title here) that was an accident, but doesnt affect it too much.

Keen4: I can get this to work... well, kinda. Only if everytime I load it I install it, which creates an issue of no save games, even when I install it to the same directory. Anyway to actually run it from the keen4e.exe?

Solarwinds: Just wont work. When I try to run solar1.exe it gives me the error: CANNOT FIND BH_CHAR.DAT. When looking in the folder, it's the first file that shows there....

Heretic: When trying to set it up I use c:\games\heretic\setup.bat
and it tells me:

ILLEGAL COMMAND: DEICE.EXE
ILLEGAL COMMAND: HTIC_V12.EXE
UNABLE TO DELETE: HTIC_V12.EXE
ILLEGAL COMMAND: SETUP.EXE

So, Deice.exe exists in the folder, as does htic_v12.exe, Setup.exe does not exist there, I have re-unzipped the folder, so I assume it's not me...


Biomenace: Just wont work, I've used the patch thing, I've gone without the patch thing, whenever I put in the command to open the exe it just doesnt load.

Those are I suppose the main ones I care about for now, I've spent hours on this.... Help?
