Hi, all. I'm having trouble getting x-com to work. I downloaded X-Com from Abandonia (the dosbox link at the bottom - not the collector's edition at the top).

I have a Mac, and am running OS X 10.4. I have dosbox 0.72 (downloaded directly from the dosbox website).

I put the x-com files under Macinosh HD, in a file called dbgm. There is now a file there called xcom.

I opened dosbox, did mount c /dbgm

Then switched to c. Did cd xcom.

From here I have tried going straight to 'setup'. I have tried 'cdsetup'. I have tried 'install'.

I have tried mounting the folder as a cd. I've tried different sound settings and even no sound.

I have tried editing the ufocd.bat to take out sound, or take out %1ufoexe\black.

No luck: I'm getting only black screens, and or freezes.

I'd really like to play x-com again. I have a feeling I'm simply not doing certain things in the right order. I've gotten other games to work on dosbox when I had a windows PC, and right now on my Mac, I'm playing Master of Orion 2 from an old CD. So dosbox is working. However: x-com (sniff) is not.

Can anyone offer suggestions?
Much appreciated.
(note, I know there have been similar topics: however, the search feature here didn't return results, and a yahoo search didn't return exactly this situation, nor a guide to fix it).
Thanks a bunch to whomever can help me send my troops once more into battle.
