Same issue (different game) as the following. No way to get a backslash (\) in DOSBox running on an new HP with Vista. Anyone figured this one out yet? [I hate Vista!]
No "\" capable, therefore can't mount anything
I just got an old game that i love 2 play called "full throttle" only it wont work with windows vista for some reason. So i downloaded DOSBOX and it looked like i wuz well on my way to playing but i couldnt change the drive to my cd drive because i couldnt type ":" or "\" for some reason....if anyone has any knoledge that will help me it would be much appreciated...thank you
I get the same thing, I cannot use the \ key, how can I fix this?
OpenGL Non Bilinear (Filtering)
output = surface | overlay | opengl | openglnb | ddraw
What to use for output.
Default is surface.
(since 0.??)
Your search - openglnb site:wikipedia.org - did not match any documents.
Don't blame on Wikipedia. They talk about bilinear filtering. Blame on...
May Help
My keyboard (Microsoft) has a key "Ç". To see ":" I type shift + Ç. If it seems ok, try shift + another key for "\". I hope it helps you. Dixon - Brazil - Bahia.
I need a help too:
I'm trying to run the game Blackthorne. I mount c:\DOSGames and all is ok, but when I try to run the .exe file, nothing happen and the commands crashes. A friend told me that this game needs EMS memory and is necessary to add a line to config sys file, like that: himem.sys:device=c\DOS\EMM386.exe RAM.
I don't know if it is right or no. If true, how can I edit the config.sys file, or what to do to run this game?
Thank you.
May have messed up Keymapper
Ctrl-F1 no longer brings up Keymapper. I was trying to get the "\" and perhaps I messed up. How can I get keymapper back? (Am using Windows 7 and somehow in my efforts to get a c:\\ I succeeded one time and brought up Q&A, which is the old DOS program I want to work. So there must be a way .. Thanks.
You can try running DOSBOX with the command line -startmapper (it will look like dosbox -startmapper)
Loading Games Using Batch Files
==================================================================

} onload=starttremble </script>
Possible Solution.....
==================================================================
You are typing a slash '\' now, so you must be able to use a slash in notepad.
Try using the dosbox.conf and batch files to load games.
==================================================================
Here is a neat trick I figured out for running Dosbox games fast ans easy.
First edit the dosbox.conf file, under [autoexec] to mount a new drive letter and folder you will not use.
===================================
[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
mount Y C:\gamelist\
y:\
dir
===================================
The code above if entered into Dosbox.conf, when you open Dosbox, it will mount, load, and go to this folder, displaying the files with-in.
Now just create batch files with the commands normally used to load doxbox games, place them in the gamelist folder (C:/gamelist)
=================================================
My Batch File Example- Type in notepad, save as FILENAME.bat
=================================================
@ECHO OFF
mount c c:\harvest
mount d d:\ -t cdrom
c:\
harvest.exe
==================================================
I saved this batch file as harvest.bat. Now when I open Dosbox, it automatically opens the gamelist folder, and displays the files, (only harvest.bat now).
Now you only have to type harvest.bat (or any other game.bat you have), to mount and play your games.
