![]() Or adjust your DBGL profiles with games in non-compliant folders so that you mount a 'C' drive directly on the directory with the game's executable, like I showed in my previous comment.and adjust your DBGL profiles accordingly (update 'Main', keep your existing mount(s)) Rename the non-compliant folder names to the 8.3 name format, such as DUKE1, DUKE2, DUKE3D etc.Not really sure how a screenshot of my dosroot folder helps you, but you find it attached.Īnyway, as I can see it, you have a couple of options: Rcblanke wrote on, 20:08: Not really sure how a screenshot of my dosroot folder helps you, but you find it attached. the reason i haven't renamed my game directories is i have many games that are named similar like the duke nukem series, they show up in dos as dukenu~1 or dukenu~2 and so on, any chance you could take a screen shot of your games directory to give me an idea on how to rename mine to be able to find the game i want to add without having to make a list and rename all my games with numbered directories? I was using DBGL to launch a pre configured template that was auto mounting the games folder as C: so as soon as the template would boot i could run the dir /w or dir /p to see all the directories in my games folder, then i would cd into the directory like cd doom~1. In such a case, you will need to stick to the 8.3 DOS naming scheme. This will usually work fine, but some games require the relative game path to be very specific. Having said this, you can reliably use directories with spaces or long names if you mount these directly, like in the attached screenshot.īy the way, if you enter a main executable in DBGL without any mounts, DBGL will automatically suggest to add a mount for the directory in which the main executable resides. Therefore, it's best to comply to these restrictions for dos games (basically everything in your DBGL dosroot folder). ![]() If you start DOSBox manually, what exact commands do you use to:ĭOS does not support file and directory names longer than 8 characters, and they can not have spaces. Okay so after unticking the exit afterwards option i was able to read the error message "directoryname is longer than 8 characters and/or contains spaces." so im not sure why i can boot dosbox and then using the command line cd into the dir and then run the setup and then run the game, but if i setup the game through the frontend and try to run it im getting this error ?
