I don't know what you have done, but it's certainly not what I asked you to do, or you got the game from somewhere else..... there is no koei.exe in the AB game, it's koei.com.

Whatever, that's what dir /w should look like: (don't mind the mounts)

What you must do is:
Delete your old \bandit\ folder, it's worthless anyway,
Re-Download the archive if needed,
Extract the included \bandit\ folder in your virtual C:

(E:\games\ is the location of my virtual C: )
Remark: I unzip the archived folder in e:\games\ , not in e:\games\bandit\

Mount your virtual C: and

cd bandit
koei

That's it. Can't be that hard I think.
If you need an unzipper that will do the job without problems get yourself
7Zip.
Freeware and really good.

[Edit]
BTW, don't run install, the game is pre installed, ready to run in dosbox.

Are you using DOSBox to run the game ?
If the Answer is "NO" Download from here, install and read the tutorial linked in the download page, the readme with the program and/or read here.

If the answer is "YES of course!" try to be more specific, because a problem like this never happen to me: using DOSBox with standard .conf, never i had this problem :blink:

EDIT : another thing, there is 4 executable file (INSTALL, KOEI, MAIN and OPEN) be sure to launch KOEI instead of the 3 other.

hi Incappucciato,
Can you attache your koei.conf file, and the batch file to start? - I believe the problem with the creation of savegame is that the game insists on saving it in B: - now most computers no longer have a floppy drive. Please advice.

you can use a virtual floppy drive, are you using dosbox?

Hi R.U.S.S, yes, running from Dosbox. Tried to run dosbox from floppy - same problem - the game simply refuses to create the savedata file.

Formatted but otherwise empty floppy disk IMAGE mounted with IMGMOUNT as drive B.

Sorry but few months ago i'd buyed a new Pc and, at least for the moment, i haven't played (so downloaded) Bandit King. But i played the version of Abandonia, this means that if you had problem with it i think that even with my files the problem can't be solved :blush:

*returning on the shadows*

Working with DosBox

Two questions:

Is there any way to get sound for this game in DosBox?

Anyone know how to place my hero on a map? I can't seem to succeed at it. I'm using DosBox .73

There is no sound in the DOS version. :no:

If i remember well : type in number 3 and press Enter (option settle ... or something similar) and your hero will settle on the province in wich he is actually wandering.
