For people still having trouble installing this game or getting it to run...
You need..
The archive, and DOSBox 0.63. That's it.
unzip the archive to somewhere useful..
Like, c:\dosgames\xwingCD
This is going to be your pretend cd drive using DOSBox
Make an Xwing directory , such as c:\dosgames\Xwing
This is where the game will install to
start dosbox, type these commands...
imgmount d c:\dosgames\xwingcd\xwingce.bin -t iso
mount c c:\dosgames\xwing
now, change to d: in dos box, you should get..
D:>
type install, or install.exe
you will not see these using dir, don't panic.
If you are in dosbox and have mounted the C:\ drive as above, you can install to c:\ and
in reality it will go to C:\dosgames\xwing.
Should install
Running it:
Properties of my desktop shortcut, Target:
"C:\DOSBox\DOSBox-0.63\dosbox.exe c:\Dosgames\xwing\bwing.exe -conf XWing.conf"
Note, you can use xwingcd.bat instead of Bwing.exe and it will work as well.
What do to with .conf file
get out of DOSBox of course, explore to your DOSBox directory...
Copy the default .conf file and rename the copy XWING.conf
At the bottom of the conf.file , add the imgmount as illustrated below. Make sure you save it as "Xwing.conf" and not Xwing.conf.txt. Or just rename it after :P
[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
imgmount d c:\dosgames\xwingcd\xwingce.bin -t iso
All you need to do now is click the shortcut.
Oh, and find a manual.
