Could anybody tell me please if there is any way to load the save files while playing? I found on screen only the "save" option but no "load". If I exit the game and then start it again, the computer offers me to load the files I saved previously, but I can't find any way to load them without exiting the game.

Don't run install, delete your folder if you runned install, the game is cracked.

Unzip the archive, mount your virtual C, cd to your game folder and your inputs are:

maupiti

Dosbox 0.72, default install, nothing altered.
Runs fine.
[Edit]
V for VGA
M for mouse control.

[Edit²]
Just tested: you even can drag drop maupiti.bat on a freshly installed dosbox 0.72-shortcut.
Works fine.

Hey Dosraider..thanks for your input I will do what you suggest today.Really looking forward to playing this game..Sal

LATER
Dos Raider...Sorry to be such a drongo(thats aussie slang for real idiot)but I still can't get the game to work.
1.I have DoxBox 0.72 installed on my computer and use it all the time for old games and rarely have a problem.
2. I installed maupiti Island into my game folder as usual
3. The download info says the game will only work if started from Maupiti.Bat
4.I did this but get the picture of the boat and freeze frame..
5. when I press the space bar on the keyboard to get out of this a message comes up...

C:\DOSBox| NEWFOL-2\maupiti\MAUPITI\START.COM The NTVDM has encountered an illegal instruction CS;011a1P;038fop;8c 90 92 92 choose close to terminate application.

6. HELP

Qué?
That's NOT a dosbox error message, do you perhaps run it directly in windows?

Missing info:
How do you mount your virtual C ?
Inputs that you use, fully and detailed.

The game works fine in dosbox 0.72, so you can assume you screw up somewhere, don't you think?
