Kippesoep Well, you could make a folder "games" inside your "Documents" folder and then inside it, a folder for the game, such as "zaxxon".

In DOSBox, you'd then type:
Code:
mount c "~/Documents/games"
c:
cd zaxxon
zaxxon
First line mounts the "games" folder as the DOSBox C drive.
Second line switches to the DOSBox C drive.
Third line then enters the "zaxxon" subfolder
Last line then starts the game.

catcraig Awesome, that seemed to work, now I need to figure out how to mount the games, lol.

Kippesoep Use

Code:
mount c "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/catcraig/Documents"
or shorter:

Code:
mount c "~/Documents"
Either example will mount your Documents folder as the DOSBox C: drive. Be sure to include the quotes!

help: dosbox on Mac os x

I'm a loser, I have a Mac, not really sure what kind of commands for mount I should be using to start my games since macs don't seem to have set drive letters....

Thanks for any help and sorry if I'm missing something on the troubleshooting page that already pertains to this.
