I'm trying to play a DOS game under DOSBox that uses long filenames. Here's the ISO as seen from macOS:
The ISO as imgmount
ed inside DOSBox:
I'm trying to start install.bat but I can't figure out how to do it. Based on the fact that it's a DOS game and it uses long filenames, I suspect that it was made for MS-DOS 7.
How do I install and run this game?
Edit: I noticed something odd. When I extract the ISO's folder structure and mount them, the directory structure looks normal. But for reasons beyond the scope of this post (the soundtrack being one of them), I need the actual ISO for the game to function properly.
Here's the directory listing if I just mount the extracted contents of the ISO with mount
:
ins
) and hit the TAB key on your keyboard. The command line interface should autocomplete the filename. It's possible the reasoninstall6
doesn't work is because it should beINSTALL6
orinstall6.bat
instead. The TAB key would fix mistakes like that.dir /x
?install.bat
doesn't run, because DOS deosn't know it's a.bat
thanks to the shortening.imgmount
.ins
completes toINSTALL6
, but when executing it I just get aIllegal command
error.
