Request : Help on Dos box

escc1986

I'm new to dos box

I have this game " Willy Bemish " The cd version with all the files

I renamed the folder to Willy

I put all the cd files in there including the "WILLLY.exec"

I made a Willy.bat file so it could be viewed in the PC games menu

I now get to Willy options

I click the Willy and it loads nothing and returns to the menus

I click the second Willy and it brings me up an install menue ( I didn't know what to do , so I pressed installed ) and it's done and returns to the main menus

So I'm not sure what to do

Hope it's not too hard

Thank you for any help

@escc1986 what format is the CD image? Is it an .iso?

escc1986

@quicksilver

It was an ISO

I extracted the ISO

To get all the files inside including the .EXE

So not an ISO , just all the files inside of the folder labeled "willy"

I Apologize

I guess I should of mentioned

I'm using retropie

Includes Emulation station

With the dosbox emulation I'm using for the PC games

All my other dos games work fine but then again I don't have any CD format games only Floppy game files

So I guess I don't know how to install this CD based Games
" The Adventures of Willy Bemish "

(On PC under /roms/PC All games Are in there folder and at the root each game has a .bat file for it to be shown to run the game

I Want to install a CD game ( The Adventures of Willy Bemish)

I have the game in a folder (no ISO) lots of files including the WILLY.exe file

I then make a .bat for the game and place it the root of the /roms/pc

I then place the willy folder (Game file ) also in the root of the directory /roms/pc

I restart emulationstation

Now it shows up 2 Willy files to choose in PC games menu

I click the 1sr one , nothing happens , it loads then returns to me the menu

I click the 2nd, it loads and brings up the installation screen , (i didn't know what to do , I just pressed continue and it said install complete ... then it returned to the PC games menu

Now I click the 1st Willy again and nothing happens , loads and reruns me to the menu

@escc1986 Please don't post multiple topics for the same problem. I've merged your new topic with the previous one.

You don't want to extract the files from the iso. We need to mount the .iso as if it's loaded in a CD ROM drive. Probably best to start over, what are the original files you are working with? Can you post a picture of the directories?

@mitu

@quicksilver

Don't know what or how to mount

and not sure what you meant about the ISO

Here is a picture of the directory of my willy folder now

@escc1986

I guess you could say another BIG issue I'm having

Is

I don't know how to get to the command line of Dos box ?

Or I don't know how to launch dos box to get the command line

Because if i need to mount something I'm sure in need the command line in dos box

The first entry in the pc system is +Start DOSbox - this is what you can run to get a DosBox command line.

@mitu

Alright from my Main Retropie screen

I pressed start then
"Quit Emulationstation"

I then was in command line

I typed : +Start DOSbox

and it said command it found

Here is picture (please let me know what I did wrong )

Who said anything about quitting EmulationStation ? You go to the PC (or MSDOS) system in EmulationStation, where you have copied your game, and there you have the +Start DOSBox entry:
