Feuer Frei! · 04-26-10, 08:05 AM

...possible?
Searched here and there, can anyone point me in the right direction please as to if it's possible to run it on 64-bit Win 7?
cheers.

i have windows vista-32. with vista-32 i can play WOLFPACK and AOTD. both games are running well.

here the shots:

U need just dosbox, nothing else.
dosbox u get here:
http://www.dosbox.com/

i can give only confirmation 4 vista-32.
you said, that u have 64-bit Win 7.
Very, very possible both games will run also with your system: http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/DOSBox_an..._and_Windows_7

i'm following all the dosbox guides,
have mounted c drive, just can't seem to cd to game folder, which is sitting on my desktop????
dosbox is saying "unable to change to...:
game folder name is "aotd"
i'm typing into dosbox: cd aotd
then it spits out the error message above?
what am i doing wrong?
Win 7 64-bit O.S.

Well, someone posted a great tip!
Drag the dos game exe onto the dosbox exe and all will be done automatically!
It works!
only problem is that aotd runs in a very small window?
dosbox window only, i can't make window bigger!
workaround to make window bigger?

This may sound stupid, but have you tried Alt+Enter? If you use D-Fend Reloaded, that should work.

Feuer Frei! · 04-28-10, 12:25 AM

Thanks IanC
it works.

You owe me a beer.

Done!

Wondering now about the resolution though, she looks mighty pixelated lol, at 24" wide

Any way to reduce that you think?
Or adjust my resolution on monitor first, before running game?

With D-Fend Reloaded they let you play around with the resolution. You might have to test a few of them, I tried getting a higher rez but nothing really worked. I found that setting it to "original resolution" was the best anyways.

Man, this thread makes me feel like making myself a coffee and loading up AOD...

Feuer Frei!,

After mounting your c drive, did you remember to change the drive from Z to C?

Just asking, because DosBox starts opens with the Z: drive active, and sometimes I am in a hurry and I forget to change the drive to c:

So, of course, it won't find what I am looking for on the Z: drive.

What do you think i'm doing now?

The familiar call of: "Smoke on the Horizon, Captain" sent a wave of warmthness through me, dam, it's been too long.

Yea, i sure did, got past the "mount c c:" stage, then "c:" to get into c mode, then tried to go into my game folder as per instctns....said "unable to blah blah..."
i gave up, after the quick easy way of doing it, see previous post for tip.
