Yes, sounds strange that you are mounting the C:\ directly as the SC2000 directory but if you can access sc2k.exe from there, then it should work.įrom my personal experience with both 0.60 and the CVS's, you will not be able to adequately run SC2000 under dosbox at this time with a computer of your speed. Thanks for whatever help you can provide. The reason I wanted to try running the DOS version of SC2K in DOSBox was because when I run it in windows, the different tracks of the MIDI songs play at different speeds, which annoys me greatly. I tried typing "INSTALL" but I get an "illegal command" error. If I try to install the game from DOSBox using the game's installer, a fatal error eventually occurs (after a number of files have been copied).
This happens everytime, no matter if I try to run from the directory from my computer or from the CD-ROM itself. Viewing the LAST MINUTE INFO for information on File I/O Errors." Please view the readme file by typing INSTALL then 1990-1994"Īfter that I get an error message saying the following:Įrror discovered when accessing file databse "DOS\4GW Professional Protected Mode Run-time Version 1.97Ĭopyright (c) Rational Systems, Inc. Afterward I type in "c:\sc2000\sc2k.exe" to run the game. I start up DOSBOx and mount the directory by typing "mount c c:\sc2000" That is the directory I have the game installed.
The game in question is SimCity 2000, particularly the one that comes in the Special Edition CD-ROM, which includes version 1.10 for DOS.
