Installation-Manual for DOSBox 0.70 (and higher?) (2007-12-09 02:47)

Thor1

To play the game under DOS, you must copy the following Files manually in your Fable-Folder (C:\FABLE\):
- DOS4GW.EXE
- HMIDET.386
- HMIDRV.386
- Fable.EX_ (rename to FABLE.EXE)
- SETUP.EX_ (rename to SETUP.EXE)
Don't copy the Fable.exe und setup.exe from
your CD - these files are only for the Windows-
Version!
Make Sub-Directory SAVEGAME

Now you must run the setup.exe to make the choice for your soundcard. After this you will have a new file called Fable.cfg
That's it!

Fable in XP/2000 (2004-08-09 10:00)

Jiri

The game should also work in Windows XP/2000 without DOSBox, with a small tweak (thanks to Reckless at Vogons for this info).
Run autorun.exe or setup.exe and install the game. Run Regedit and navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Telstar\Fable
Edit the value for 'Path' to match that of your installation directory.
The game should play fine without the need for 'compatibility mode'.

works in 0.61 (2004-02-06 11:03)

Jiri

The game cannot find a harddisk during install, so install must be run in DOS. The game then works in DOSBox.
