Changes of Dave/dosbox from #6 to #7

3: I have now used it to run Twinsen's Little Big Adventure 2 (aka LBA2) on my Alienware Aurora.

4: 1.1 Here's how!

5: 1. Download the Installer

6: 1. Install DosBox

7: 1. Read the documentation at their {link:Wiki|http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Basic_Setup_and_Installation_of_DosBox} and at {link:MagicBall|http://www.magicball.net/games/lba1/lba1_2_dosbox_guide}. In particular you need to grok the __mount__ command and use it to make the CD drive visible and also to chroot the install directory.

8: 1. Use dos box to install the game from the CD. See {link:MagicBall's|http://www.magicball.net/games/lba1/lba1_2_dosbox_guide} guide.

9: There are several ways to then run the game. I have created a shortcut which invokes dosbox and provides the commands to the program using the ~~-c~~ flag. I havn't yet got to grips with writing a batch file and using that as the -c argument.

17: 1.1 And now we have the original adventure

18: Firstly, visit {link:LBA HQ|http://www.lbahq.com/index.htm} and its download panel, which offers you a .rar archive. This contains a .iso file. {link:This thread|http://forums.videogames101.net/index.php?topic=58.0} at http://lbahq.com describes how to cut a CD version of the archive which allows you to install both DosBox and LBA. Since I have a copy of DosBox on my Alienware, its probably possible to configure DosBox to consume the .iso, but I havn't done this yet. So burn a CD, and XP's autorun will run the game installer. This gives you instructions as to how to configure he game to run under DosBox. The command line arguments are documented at {link:LBA & DosBox|http://davelevy.dyndns.info/snipsnap/space/Dave/dosbox/LBA+%26+dosbox} on this site.
