Quick question about DOSBox

[jeremy]

hi

I'm trying to get Dimo's quest to work with DOSBox ex Ultimate, but it hangs on startup.

I started looking and on Dosbox.com and found this:

"if it hangs on startup 





you may need to edit DIMO.BAT and make sure it points to DIMOCODE.EXE and not elsewhere."




That would be very good advice if I knew how to edit DIMO.BAT to do that.

Any help would be greatly appeciated

Have a look into the appdata directory. The files should be there.

Yes, I know I have all the files and I know how to edit Batch files. I just have no idea what to do with this one specificaly.

I you'd like to try. Dimo's quest can be found on an internet site of the kind we don't talk about here. It's where i found it

 

[mcobit]

Abandonware is no freeware. Such sites are in a legal grey zone and we should not discuss such stuff here.

Post the contents of the batch file

I think we're fine with discussing it just not distributing it.

Here's the modified BAT file https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18942925/DIMO.BATJust place it in the dimo directory, confirmed working.

Do we have a Phillips CDi Emulator? That is all that eBay had.
