Apr 24, 2012 - sir can dosbox can able to attack game servers?
skwirrlmaster Says:
Apr 23, 2012 - Ok... for anybody else. On Win 7 64 - Emplace the "Program" folder by going through Computer>C:>program files x86>Dosbox-0.74 -- Doing it the way the video shows will not alter the directory so dosbox sees it. THEN when you go to install olddos and you click y/n. If it refuses to install back out and run DosBox as Administrator. Spent way too long figuring this crap out. Thanks for not much. Next time record in lower res. I could almost see what you were doing.

Mar 22, 2012 - question for you . after correctly installing dosbox / qbasic. can you run qbasic as an .exe?
knowledgemonger Says:
Mar 14, 2012 - If your program accesses real hardware, you are still going to have trouble. It was common back in the days of DOS to write program that take over the whole computer and turn it into something else like a controller for some machine. These sorts of programs have serious timing issues if they work at all using Dosbox. You can, however, dual boot a PC and install a MS-DOS or Freedos in one partition.

ManjaShtrbac Says:
Feb 16, 2012 - If you have this problem with turbo pascal: Every time you hit install it shows a message: "Cannot Execute UNPACK.COM, S)KIP FILE, a)bort?" simply before installation scroll down to "enable unpack&utility" and change it from "yes" to "no". You can see what i'm talking about at 5:56. I did this and so far i haven't faced any problems with tp. Sry for my english. I hope this helped you

Feb 7, 2012 - so, i'm trying to play a game called shakii, i did all the correct things. placed a programs folder inside the dos box directory. created a folder inside programs called shakii and put the files that are already installed into the shakii folder. i use dos box and enter all the correct directories and try to run shakii.exe but it says "cannot find drive" what is the reason for this? dos box doesn't JUST install dos programs right?
