This should change the Z to a C, and you’ll be left with this: If successful, dosbox will add a line that says Drive C is mounted as the local directory C:\cm9798 Of course if you have cm9798 folder saved elsewhere, change the file path to that. So the whole line should read: Z:\> mount c c:\cm9798 Then press enter In dosbox, it will say Z:\> and after this you should type mount c C:\cm9798
If you can, move the CM9798 folder somewhere simple, such as C: (without putting it in any other folder). I’m not a technical expert by any means but if the above makes no sense to you, I will try and explain it. At this point, I encourage you to review this article: Open up Dosbox by double clicking the exe file you installed earlier. That should work, but if it doesn’t, read on. Firstly, if this is the only game you play on dosbox then drag the desired exe file (cm2e8 or cm2e16) onto the Dosbox icon. There are two ways to get the game to work. You can try playing about with the compatibility settings, but they tend not to work. Once you’ve got the game on your laptop, you can try and run it by double clicking cm2.exe from the folder but it will most likely either not load at all or will load with colours all over the shop. Download the game as per the link above (other downloads are available). If you’re fortunate enough to own the CD still, treasure it but unless your laptop is old it will be of little use here.
You’ll need the game to make any of this happen. We have nothing for iPad yet, I know you can share your screen from your laptop to your tablet but that’s not really the same. Incidentally, we’ve had somebody get it working on an Android phone/tablet. I’ve split the guide into firstly Windows instuctions and further down the page is Mac. Get that installed and that’s the easy bit done. Download it from their website here by picking the correct operating system from the list. Click here to download the game as I have uploaded it.ĭosBox is the key to getting this game to work – basically this emulates MS-Dos on your computer to allow you to run old Dos Games. Of course, please download with discretion and I take no responsibility for the downloads hosted on external websites. As it is, computers have come quite a long way since 1997 which can make playing the game on a modern laptop/computer a bit tricky. Hopefully reading this blog has whetted your appetite to re-live this great game.
