I'm running xp sp2... I've downloaded warcraft 2 from a site which doesn't open. I've later learnt that I should use dosbox to open it. So finally after a few hours of torment I got it to open bt now at single player mode it asks for a cd. I have downloaded a few cracks and I just can't seem to get past this point. I'm at the verge of pulling my hair out. Does any1 have experience in this field as I clearly don't

Would really appreciate it:afraid:

make a folder on ur C drive call games

extract warcraft 2 game into game folder

look at the dos files find the exe
so
example war2.exe

open dosbox

type this

mount c c:\games

then c:\

this should bring up the C:\ command

then type the exe of ur game n it should run
so
example C:\war2.exe

if u made a sub folder in ur games folder then u will have to call the subfolder before the exe
so from start to finish
example

mount c c:\games

C:\cd warcraft2 - If u called the subfolder that

C:\war.exe

that should run the game






so looking at the picture

i have made a folder in my c drive called games

i have made a subfolder within called fodder

so

i call the game directory

call the c drive

then call the subfolder of the game alway with cd in front of the subfolder name

then call the application/exe


i havent got enought time atm to show u how to configure dos so automaticly put in game directory and have u just put in the subfolder and game exe only



hope this helps

some game u can download from ere http://www.oldschooldos.com/allgames.php

Edit: in the folder of extracted files u will also see install or setup app/exe's
on the command line select one of those app/exe to setup sound a gfx
