![]() I know DOSBox frontends can be useful if you don't want to mess with the command prompt, but to me it's just adding an extra non-transparent layer of settings between you and the emulation. Still i think this method have one complication, i think DosShell uses his own DosBox.Conf so it can conflict with some games such as Shadow Warrior, this is why i found first method more safe for this. It can even select which Drive Letter will mount to DosBox, default is C: of course, but i am just saying. DosShell also asks for DosBox directory of course. That'll launch SW straight away for you as soon as you start DOSBox (assuming it's installed in C:\SW\).Ģnd Method) Using DosShell frontend utility for DosBox which i can just point out the directory where SW.EXE is and DosShell will do all mounting process fo DosBox all by itself alone, very usefull utility, i reccommend DosShell for easier using of DosBox. But if you want to run SW straight away, you can add the following lines to your autoexec section: That way, as you start DOSBox you'll go straight to the virtual C: drive that you have. You can ignore the PATH and TEMP folder setup lines. where E: is the drive name of your HDD/partition. SET PATH=C:\ C:\TEMP C:\UTILS C:\DN Z:\ C:\DJGPP\BIN įor Windows, you'd need something like E:\DOS\ etc. Mount d /home//DOS/cd/ -t cdrom -label Daggerfa # Lines in this section will be run at startup. The mount command can be added to the section of nf so you don't need to do that manually every time. I would recommend to set up a virtual HDD and operate from there.īasically, you create a folder on your actual hard drive that you mount in DOSBox as the C: drive. This is really not a preferred method of launching DOS programmes with DOSBox. Just to clarify things: you launch SW by drag-dropping it over DOSBox.exe? Note i did same method in v1.2 and it worked. I repeat that i used same methoh as in v1.2 Sw, i deleted SW.CFG and then made setup with NO SOUND, then run it like this: DOSBOX.EXE SW.EXE -fullscreen -noconsole -exit and it didn't work! It only gave me until Shadow Warrior red title screen with that ninja symbol and it freezed! And DosBox Console promot showed weird errors. Now speaking of SW v1.2 i did the following:ġ.) Now i installed fresh copy of Shadow Warrior v1.2 Sharewareģ.) To don't get any conflicts i copied DOSBOX.EXE and SDL.DLL in SW directoryĤ.) Since i used default DosBox configuration and not any user custom one, i tried it and IT WORKED NOW!ĥ.) Also i tried enabling sounds in SETUP.EXE, i had some MIDI problems with WAV works great.īut why then did old registered v1.2 didn't work then when i tried it in past few years ago?Īlso i did same method for Shadow 0.90 and this one still doesn't work? It is problem with BETA version itself? Or maybe i shall try it directly write SW $bullet.map in DosBox Dos promt so then may work? As i heard some uses have isse with Shadow Warrior Alpha 0.9, when DosBox can't handle the title screen but can actual game if batch command used to skip it?Īnyway small mistake, v1.2 shareware from fresg install works, but 0.90 doesn't work for some reason. Thank you for your Avon Thanks for the link i will check it Thank you for sharing that DosBox versions with me, the link worked and i will test it soon. And that worked back then when DosBox 0.72 was latest version, i have 0.74 and for me it doesn't? Again what i am doing wrong and how come other people could run 0.90 and v1.2 without any issues while i can't. On another hand Apha and Beta builds of Shadow Warrior works fine in DosBox but latest version i can run is Shadow Warrior Alpha 0.9. What i am doing wrong? I know that most people could run 0.90 and v1.2 but i can't run even those, they give me same problem as v1.0 and v1.1 which requires some unique SVN versions of DosBox. It promts me to shitty random bunch of numbers and letter (probably hexadecimal stuff) in DosBox console prompt. The thing is that i have read somewhere that onl problematic releaes of Shadow Warrior that won't run on regular DosBox are those initial versiosn v1.0 and v1.1 However for neither SW BETA 0.90 neither SW v1.2 works. I knew fist think you guys would going to tell me is to update t latest version of DosBox but version i have is DosBox 0.74 which already run most of games.
