Hi everybody. I'm running Windows XP, and I just don't get it! How do I start Pinball Fantasies? When I double-click the program icon the screen goes black, and all I can do is Alt+Tab out of the game.
Help me PLEASE! I really want to play this game!  |

If you have any problems with it, try having a look at the official FAQ on the DosBox site.
Basic Setup and Installation Command Line Z instead of C at the command prompt Internal Programs (important, especially MOUNT) Most of the stuff in there is not really needed, but you would do best to familiarize yourself with the specific topics I linked to. The mounting of your DosBox games directory, switching the promt to the emulated C: drive and clearing the screen from previous commands can all be executed from the [autoexec] section of dosbox.conf, so you won't have to re-type them every time round. Frontend programs can help running DosBox with varying configurations for different games.

Quick Question!
I am also having troubles. Have downloaded DOSbox but there doesn't seem to be a ReadMe file among them. And there aren't any files that end in .exe or .bat so i just don't have the code to start the game.
Do any of you know it? Pinball fantasies was a childhood fave and i really wanna play it again!  |

Yes, i have installed DOSbox and done all the things with the files that i am meant to do but i dont know what the code is (i.e. the .exe or .bat readme file) that starts the programme. And it doesn't say on the website....
Am i being dumb? What is the readme code?!  Raechal |

Are you talking about launching Dosbox? Or stating the game in Dosbox?
Have you given this a read over, if you haven't it might help Beginners Guide to Dosbox. If you are looking for Dosboxs readme it is in the Dosbox folder, then inside the Documentation folder, named Readme. |
