Dos Games

[highland04]

does anyone have a way to run old dos games on gameex with windows xp?

i want to run cyberdogs and c-dogs (games i played when i was really young) but i cant get them to run...

i have them working with dosbox... but i dont know how to configure it in gameex. should i somehow skip dosbox? do i configure it as an emulator?

can someone paste their configurations for me?

thanks

I have been having problems too running dos games still. One of my threads Tom helped me out big time noticing that my ini's LunchBefore and LaunchAfter was duped because I was replacing all too much.

Now I need help again. Windows EXE's run fine. And when I run anything DOS oriented I see a cmd.exe running but no game. I tried running runitgame.bat with a dos game written to it and it runs fine outside of gameex.

I also tried setting debug to TRUE and it also runs fine as well. Setting it to false does nothing and I must escape back into gameex or kill the cmd process.

Tom, I have been running DOS games fine since 3.16 and have never had a problem, now gameex is flaking out when trying to run a simple command.
