DarthHelmet,
Thanks for your help and the reference to the DOSBox tutorial, which was invaluable. It took me an hour and a half to do all of that "without" mistakes, and I got the game running, with full screen, music, and sounds! Thank you AGAIN!
You might have noticed that there are quotation marks around "without" in regards to "mistakes." I'm very, VERY close to have the "perfect" SEAL Team startup, but...
I think that I'm making a simple mistake in getting the dosbox-0.74.conf written up so that it saves me a step of having to
search for the SEAL Team .exe
every time I get Norton Commander to load up.
Here's my directory structure...
C\Old DOS Games\
and then there are the directories SEALteam
and NC .
Inside of the dosbox-0.74.conf, I have written up the pathway for startup as...
Quote:
[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
# You can put your MOUNT lines here.
mount C "C:\Old DOS Games"
C:\NC\NC.exe
|
With this setup, Norton Commander
does load after double-clicking on the DOSBox 0.74 shortcut,
but according to the tutorial you so kindly directed me to, what
should be already displayed within NC's startup window is
ST.exe, the game's executable.
It's not.
I have to go to the top of the page to get the Menu bar to appear, and then from there do a search for the executable. Once I double-click on it via NC, the game launches properly.
Is there a way to better define in the config that NC should open up with ST.exe already on display?
I know that whenever one uses "spaces" between words that quotation marks must be used so that DOSBox can utilize the proper pathway and find the desired file. But I've tried numerous combinations of pathways with, and without, quotation marks, and each and every time DOSBox informs me that either an illegal action is being taken, or the file can't be located.
-------------------
The game runs choppily for me. Can you advise what the figure you used for
cycles was?
-------------------
Any way to remap the completely unintuitive keybindings? I see that there's a
Reset KeyMapper Start menu option for DOSBox, but that implies that one can (easily?) alter one's keyboard settings to whatever's desired. Any detailed help on this would be greatly appreciated.
-------------------
The "music" is...very..."Ugh!" Is there an easy way to disable it while perhaps improving game performance?
-------------------
Thanks for your time and consideration on this!
