(I should also mention that part of this post is to encourage the developers who put these packages together (if they read any of these posts) to always use technologies that match the age of the games and dosbox (dosbox of course would probably always be the more restrictive of the two requirements). (I should mention that I have my reasons for using older OS's so don't want to get into a discussion about that.) I could do the same here (changing filenames to match, of course), and maybe I'm overthinking it, but I don't know if simply using the same basic line is really correctly optimized and such.Īnyway, any advise on the best command line would be appreciated - thanks "C:\Games\GOG.com\Ultima Underworld\DOSBOX\DOSBox.exe" -conf ".\nf" -conf ".\dosboxULTIMA1_nf" -noconsole -c "exit" It is just one minor component of the package, this launcher, that is getting in the way. So I'm fairly angry that instead of having a well-configured dosbox command line for this one, I instead have an exe that requires a recent OS despite neither the game and dosbox not having such a requirement, just this launcher happens to be written in an unnecessarily restrictive manner, using these techniques with very poor backwards-compatability even though the game itself and dosbox are quite old and should work fine on XP. I just want to play the game, not spend my time messing around with optimizing dosbox settings. Why not for this one? But that aside, if it were provided, what should it be? I've configured dosbox myself, although quite a few years ago, but part of why I have paid for games here is so I don't have to spend my time sorting that out myself (it took me a lot of work to get Arena running correctly). The games I bought previously from this site that use dosbox have a command line to dosbox with some arguments setting up the configuration files. When I tried running the installed shortcut, it was to Launcher.exe instead of dosbox and Launcher.exe would not run, mostly likely because of XP (probably what uses that version of. It finally displayed an error dialog about a DLL but later said it was done installing successfully. I'm fairly sure 4.7.2 does not work on XPSP3 and regardless, I most definitely don't want it on my machine. Net 4.7.2 for a game made in 1994! Nor is it needed for dosbox. It finally stated that it was (very much against my will and to my horror) installing. I installed it and my first clue that something was wrong was that the installer was VERY slow. I bought this game based on having heard of it off and on over the years, good reviews, and the fact it is old so obviously should run on my machine (XPSP3, which runs dosbox quite well). What is the best way to run this game without Launcher.exe? I think more specifically, the question is what is the best shortcut command line to run this game via dosbox directly and use all the optimized/proper dosbox config settings that would be used if I was using Launcher.exe?
