E
P
C:\POOLRAD\
C:\POOLRAD\
N

But the game is installed in C:\DOSROOT\POOLRAD

The drive is mounted as MOUNT C: C:\DOSROOT.

can't you just change the config file then?

Absolutely, you can change the config file. Years ago I changed the save directory to A: so I could save to floppy. I still have some of those long after those hard drives have failed.

@Japo perhaps you should add the info about that in the Review under Notes?

[Japo]

Yes I could, but it applies to several games with the same engine, so I think I'd prefer to move some of this to the Specific Games child board.

There is better solution: if you'll delete .cfg altogether, game will ask all needed questions again upon first start.

Continue the discussion here, unless you have more helpful technical tips that you can share on the new thread.

Mount d d:\retro
d:
cd poolrad
start

That's how. I even have the Wizworx CD from which I uploaded the game from and it gives me the same message that it can't find Disk 3 on drive D:... and yes, I remember I got it to work somehow back in the day. I get the error after I select race, gender and class.

I think I finally got it. Reuploaded, redownload and try. This time use POOL.bat to start the game. (As long as you use the same mounts, you may use START.exe directly instead the following times.)

It works! Thanks a bunch mate!

Others that have this issue should also check the .cfg file settings in the game's root directory to ensure the save folder is in the same location the program looks.
