This might be done during the installation or with a setup/setsound utility that accompanies the game. In that case you will have to lock the mouse manually by pressing CTRL-F10.īe sure that the sound is correctly configured in the game. When you click on the screen it should get locked (confined to the DOSBox window) and work. Usually, DOSBox detects when a game uses mouse control. Try creatingĪ CD-ROM image (preferably CUE/BIN pair) and use the DOSBox's internal IMGMOUNT tool to mount the image (the CUE sheet). Of the mount command in Section 4: "Internal programs" for their meaning and the additional audio-CD related options -ioctl_dx, -ioctl_mci, -ioctl_dio.

Under Windows you can specify -ioctl, -aspi or -noioctl. (-label LABEL) to the mount command, where LABEL is the CD-label (volume ID) of the CD-ROM.

Play with the options: fullresolution, output and aspect in the configuration file of DOSBox. If fullscreen looks wrong in your opinion: Alternatively: Edit the configuration file of DOSBox and change the option fullscreen=false to fullscreen=true. Section 13: The configuration (options) fileįULLSCREEN: How do I change to fullscreen? The commands present there are run when DOSBox starts, so you can use this section for the mounting. In the DOSBox configuration file is an section. If everything went fine, DOSBox will display the prompt "C:\>".ĪUTOMATION: Do I always have to type these commands? To change to the drive mounted like above, type "C:". In Linux, "mount c /home/username" will give you a C drive in DOSBox which points to /home/username in Linux.
For example, in Windows "mount C D:\GAMES" will give you a C drive in DOSBox which points to your Windows D:\GAMES directory (that was created before). You have to make your directories available as drives in DOSBox by using the "mount"Ĭommand.

It is essential that you get familiar with the idea of mounting, DOSBox does not automatically make any drive (or a part of it) accessible to the emulation.
