WOW! Thanks, Detray! The problem was that I had a mistake in the article–I fixed it and gave you credit for pointing me to it! I really appreciate it and apologize for causing the confusion!

I figured it out…i had to type D:INSTALL, I think maybe my discs are different from the ones you used…

Yes. Part of the process is to take ISO images of the Game CDs. I stored them in archives\iso\tex\uakm, as you noted above. Once those are there, you still need to run the game’s installation program, which should create a C:\MOON directory by default.

In other words, one directory to hold the ISO files that we mount in the DOSBox setup, and then one directory is created by the game itself (which thinks it is just running on a DOS system). And then one ring to rule them.

This help?

I’ll check my process above and make sure that I didn’t skip the installation step–or do it out-of-order.

I understand everything i just dont get how it can run C:moon in the emulated directory c:\archives\games…unless the folder MOON exists in there..and it doesnt. Im so confused.

Ok I’m getting the same issue here…”unable to chance to moon” I’ve tried everything mentioned here. I even mimiced Tanstaafl’s setup with the c:archives\games bit and the locations of the images (archives\iso\tex\uakm). Still get the same thing. From the instructions t_a_o it appears that you need to install it before doing all this when he says “cd moon (IF YOU INSTALLED THE GAME IN: d:\games\Moon)” above. There is no directory MOON in the mount of c:archives\games…is it supposed to read this from the mounted images? Those seem to be working as they say MSCDEX Installed. Drive F mounted as [location here]. SO…what do I need to do??
