Dosbox: Can't Use Colon?

[Azure]

So, I'm trying to mount a different directory (/media to access my SD card since it seems to default mount C to games) to access my games, but I cant use the colon button by using the function key, making it hard to change drives...is this normal or am I doing something clearly stupid/wrong? Should I just be using this "games" directory instead (if so...where is this games directory supposed to be?)?

Note: I'd read the "README" but I can't open the DOSBOX documentation setup file...

Take a look in "appdata", DOSBoxFE should have created "games" in there. (I figured that one out earlier.)

Colon doesn't work for me either.

Hey, I know I'm reviving an old topic, but I figured out the colon problem. You have to press shift (left shoulder button) + Fn + ";"

I figured this out by looking at the keyboard remapper. The underscore wasn't working either, so I was messing about trying to figure it out, and I noticed that both ":" and "_" are keys accessed through shift. On a normal US keyboard, the underscore is created through shift+-, and the colon through shift+;. I guessed that dosbox expected this to still be the case, so I tried it. It worked.

I suppose Dosbox just doesn't like these characters being created through Fn? Hope this helps someone, and I apologize if this has been answered before and I'm just being dense.

Excellent! This was driving me nuts. It has to be in the order you mention, as Fn, then shift, then ";" does not work.

What commande line must be written to mount c ?

In put my game in the games directory (/appdata/dosbox/games)

mount c /media/...... ?

Thanx for your help.

mount c ./games

here's a small tutorial I wrote up a while ago that may help:

Oh, btw, with the whole colon thing, you can also remap colon to whatever you want in dosbox. To get to the key mapper you just hit ctrl+f1 which of course is actually fn+ctrl+f1 on the pandora
