No Sound in SE
 

I downlaoded SE to a flash drive and installed in on C. I have a games folder on C with a folder in it for Savage Empire named "UltimaSE." This is the mount command I have in DOSBos now. Can you show me how it should be changed?

mount c c:\Games\UltimaSE
c:
Savage

I tried to download the game to a floppy disk but it was too big, so I can't run the install from A. Right? And thanks a million for the help, I really appreciate it.

mount a c:\games\ultimase
A:
install

(you'll also need a C mount, of course)

Sorry darylrogers, we never know how keen someeone is on the dosbox prompt, so to spell it out for you:

To install :
mount a c:\Games\UltimaSE -t floppy
mount c c:\Games\
a:
install

accept C:\savage, choose SB, type of install: time saving-(this will copy all the needed files)- and VGA....mouse or keyb at your choice.
Let it run, takes some time, will leave you in c:\savage (dosbox path) run with savage.

To play later:

mount c c:\Games\
c:
cd savage
savage

That should do it if I didn't forgot something. :wondering:

BTW, you'll also need the manual for the copy protection question.

OK, this is my mount command lines:

mount c c:\games\ultimase
c:
Savage
mount a c:\games\ultimase
a:
install

When I run DOSBox with this, it opens the Installation Menu. The Current Selection is dafaulted to "A." I cannot change this. It does not recognize any other drive on the computer. If I type "C" I get a pop-up saying "This drive does not exist."

If I continue with the set-up, it next gives the Mouse/Keyboard installation menu, then the Graphics installation menu, then the Sound System installation menu. After these choices are made, I get w pop-up saying "Is the current configuration correct?" I respond "Y." I get a pop-up telling me to insert a blank floppy into the floppy drive. After I do, I get another pop-up telling me to insert the original Savage Empire Disk 1 into the floppy drive. This I cannot do.

I am using an old Windows 98 computer to run these games. I am using a newer comptuer to download the zipped games files onto a flash drive. I then use the flash drive to upload the games to the old computer. I tried to download the Savage Empire zipped files onto a floppy disc on the new computer, but the files are too large.

OK, I tried this. Here is the result:

Z:\>mount a c:\Games\UltimaSE-t floppy
Directory c:\Games\UltimaSE-t doesn't exist

Z:\>mount c c:\Games\
Drive C is mounted as local directory c:\Games\

Z:\>a:
Drive A does not exist!
You must mount it first. Type intro or intro mount for more information.

Z:\>install
Illegal command: Install.

The error of the results is already in your post....

You wrote: "UltimaSE-t" (no space)
Should be: "UltimaSE -t" (with space)

Try again.... ;)

Almost there...

OK, I did this and it seemed to work. At the end, it just closed out and did not leave me anywhere. There was no "c:\savage (dosbox path) run with savage."

-------------------------
To play later:

mount c c:\Games\
c:
cd savage
savage
----------------------

I changed the DOSBox config to the above, run DOSBox, and now I get

Z:\>c:

C:\>cd savage

C:\>SAVAGE\savage
Illegal command: savage.

C:\SAVAGE>

(BTW, thanks for all the assistance. I know I'm almost there...)

Try this...

Go to C:\savage

But instead of typing savage, type:

Dir

make a screenshot and post it here.. (Or look for a .exe)

You're right. You're almost there.. ;)

DIR screenshot
 

I did manage to copy the window with the results of the DIR command. You would think that I could at least upload a screenshot, but NO-OOO! When I click on "Insert image" all I get is a pop-up asking for a web address. I am really not this dumb! I got it uploaded through the "mamage attachments" link, but I can't do anything with it from there. It's not just going to show up in this message now, is it? I guess I'll send this message and see what happens...

Don't worry..that where do I place my images was an issue for myself too when I started @ the forums..

Upload your image(s) Here.

That site will give you the Url's you could place in your reply's..
Either choose one of the "Thumbnail" links or the "Direct Link" link..

Don't worry.. We are here to help.. ;)
