The batch file is one you would create to launch the game in dosbox with the right config file. So, it is a separate file from the dosbox.conf. Simply open a text editor like notepad and paste in the lines as stated above:

@echo off
dosbox -conf tex_pd.conf -noconsole -fullscreen -exit

Then save it as a tex_pd.bat. It isn’t completely needed, one *could* type in the same thing from a command line to start the program, but this is much easier.

You could explain what this batch file is… I was not lost until this point I don’t know where to find it or if I need to create one if so, how. Do I type it at the end of the dsobox.conf or in dosbox after installing or before installing. Explain, please. Thank you.

Thanks! I’ve got to try that–I’ve got a Korg 05R around…I wonder if a USB MIDI port will work.

Hey, thanks a lot (again) for your install guide! The whole copy cds (got the game very cheap on ebay) to hd stuff and mounting works perfect!. Like with Overseer my Roland SC-55 is working (connected via gameport) - the Pandora music is awesome!

Keep up the good work!

Yes, DOSBox takes care of mounting the ISO images as separate “virtual” drives.

Good points. After playing Super Paper Mario on the Wii, however, I can see that there may be possibilities for Adventure even on consoles. The problem is that there are no new ideas going on in the genre. All of the “new” games coming out are the same as the old games–Agatha Cristie’s And Then There Were None isn’t a bad game…but it could have been teleported in from 1998.

Super Paper Mario has some arcade/platformer elements, but at least it’s creative (to the extreme).
