DosBox Help
ShiningYakuza3 | Posted on 02/09/09 at 02:36:04 I am one of those plauged Windows Vista users, so I downloaded DosBox, the only problem is tgge fact that I have no idea how to use it. I would greatly appreciate if someone could walk me through getting my TNM set up step-by-step. Thanks. |
psz | Posted on 02/09/09 at 15:08:42 First off, install DosBox (I personally use the Korean-Developed CVS build, as it has a nice GUI). In DosBox (or the config), you'll need to mount a working directory for your Dos stuff In my case, it's mount c c:\gamesThis makes my c:\games become DosBox' C:\ I have TNM installed to my c:\games\trnm7se (in DosBox it appears as c:\tnm7se) This means, in DosBox, I cd\tnm7se From there, I run TNM like normal (Though I personally up the display rate to max in TNM, as it's generally slow in DosBox) |
ShiningYakuza3 | Posted on 02/10/09 at 02:45:00 Thanks for the help so far. However, when I install it, TNM stops on determining system speed and the DOSBox system window says remove write-protection. Any hints on how I would do that? |
psz | Posted on 02/10/09 at 03:33:21 By default, Windows NT (2K, XP, Vista, 7) has most folders set to Read Only. Right click the folder you want TNM in, and set it to not be Read Only. |
ShiningYakuza3 | Posted on 02/10/09 at 17:36:02 I really hate to ask for more help, but I have gotten all the way to finish installation, however, after that it just won't go any further. Any suggestions? Any help at all will be greatly appreciated |
psz | Posted on 02/11/09 at 00:49:53 I've personally never gotten TNM to *INSTALL* from inside DosBox (I had it installed already from a previous Windows). I get the lockup as well. The TNM Members Champ and ROH, Indy, and Puro Mark69 both apparently got it to work, so they'll have to take over from here ;-> |

Personally, I stay away from 64 bit OSes as much as possible. |
The TNM Members Champ | Posted on 02/14/09 at 22:35:01 I can't remember if I got TNM to install from DosBox. I think I actually just copied from my older laptop and moved it to the new laptop. Regardless, I wish Oliver would do something about this. Or at the least, provide an update on TNM. |
JHawk | Posted on 02/15/09 at 22:22:31 I was able to get it to install but can't DosBox to actually run tnm.bat. Anytime I try all I get is "Invalid command: start" Any ideas? |
ShiningYakuza3 | Posted on 02/18/09 at 19:19:02 Ok, I have TNM installed, but when I try to run the TNM.bat file, the DOSBox status window says "SHELL:Redirect output to tnm.pid" Any suggestions? |
JHawk | Posted on 02/19/09 at 03:09:16 I'm getting the same thing, which is still better than I have been getting. Anysuggestions at all? |
