Dennis -- As much as I hate to disillusion your apparent preference for DOSBox, such promotion is not really the purpose of this mailing list or of our current discussion. I am certainly aware of DOSBox and have played Lure Of The Temptress without any problems in DOSBox, but my goal in this

Re: [Freedos-user] Games

Hi! As Rufus only gives you the minimal files to boot DOS at all, you should probably download some additional drivers to play your game. In particular, try HIMEM. However, your listing seems to be incomplete - no kernel or command.com are shown, but obviously you must have them, otherwise you
