'''Elite''' is a seminal space trading video game. Both Elite and Elite Plus are freeware, and may be legally downloaded from their author's [http://www.iancgbell.clara.net/elite/pc/index.htm web site].<br />
<br />
== Making it work ==<br />
<br />
If you require support for general issues, see the [[Performance|performance guide]] and [[DOSBox_FAQ|FAQ]].<br />
<br />
== Testing ==<br />
<br />
Elite and Elite Plus both work fine in DOSBox.<br />
<br />
==Saving and Loading==<br />
<br />
To save and load game data a fix is required for the original version of Elite.<br />
<br />
[http://www.vogons.org/download/file.php?id=5432&sid=cb8df84429b53b91817c79160a70919b Elfix.zip] (ripsaw8080) will enable saving and loading.<br />
<br />
A .bat file can be created by adding the following code to a text file and saving as Elite.bat:<br />
<br />
@echo Loading ELFIX, an TSR by ripsaw800. Fixes a problem with file attributes.<br />
@ELFIX.COM<br />
<br />
