Sorry if this problem was answered somewhere else before, like in the review or in the forums, I searched and found nothing. If it was then please don't close this thread before directing me to that place!(I've seen many cases like that)

Everytime I end a turn this error shows up, afterward the game continues as normal. The problem is that I can't save my game. Everytime I want to save this message shows up and the game isn't saved. Sorry if it's not enough information, thats all I know.

To run heroes I use Dosbox 0.63 with 6500 CPU cycles and 6 frameskips.
I use the "mount c <directory> -t cdrom" command to run the game. I use the original Dosbox configuration file. I once did try to raise the memory dosbox has up to 30mb then to 60mb... bu it didn't do anything! Anyway I think the normal 12mb memory is enough for this game.

Please help!! :sos:

if you mount c as cdrom then there is no space on c
(Think off the ROM part in cdrom)

so you have to make 2 mounts
mount c directory
mount d directory -t cdrom

So I need to mount a drive then to mount another drive with the Cdrom letter... Sorry I'm quite confused... which one should I choose later? I always thought it didn't matter which letter I use

mount c c:\games\heroes
mount g(my cdrom drive) c:\games\heroes -t cdrom [I usally only do this...]
c:

Is that what I need to do?

Edit:

Woohoo!!! It worked!! Thanks data, I did just like I said above. Now to kill some enemies! I already fight against brilient ones. ^_^

it's more common to mount the cdrom as D instead of G

Your real cdrom doesn't matter.

Im having similar problem, only thing is that Im running the game (Homm3) on xp. It says could not create save game, or something like that. Autosaves and manual ones, same thing, cant do it.
So whats the problem, what should I do? There is enough disk space, more than 100 gigs, so is it too much for the game :)

In your case, dude, it's more like there is too much space on that HDD partition, and the game was not meant to run on drives that large so it just apes out.

ok i have a problem in heroes and it says that the cd drive is unncaccesable but that shouldnt matter since the game is mounted in my c drive with plenty of space please help

Problem loading HoMM
 

After I downloaded Homm, I unzipped it into my dosbox\CDrive folder. I start Dosbox & type dir/w, then cd Heroes. I see the list of files & folders available. I type "heroes", which is the .exe file & it looks like it's loading & stops. I then get the message, " Unable to access CD Drive". I don't understand. All the other games work fine. Did I miss some special instruction somewhere ?? Please help !!!

According to the HOMM review on Abandonia, you also need to mount your cd-rom drive.


IMPORTANT!!!!! In order for the game to run you must mount your cdrom in DOSbox by using the following command: MOUNT * -t cdrom *:
* = your cdrom drive. (Most used d: and e:)

I think it would be a good addition if Abandonia would just upload the windows ISO instead... it would save everybody a lot of trouble. Oh and I could provide it if necessary, I have the HOMM Platinum edition here. I could provide boxshots and cd shots.

there already is a windows edition of HOMM on site.

help!
 

Did you ever get this figured out? If so please email me at [EDITED]

The same box shows up when I try to save it, Im on a mac osx desktop 10.5.8 playing HOMM5. Please help with how to fix this I cant save my campaign games!
