Dark Forces on WinXP and newer Operating Systems

[Monkey Mania]

Mounting just tells dosbox where to find the files. If a game requires a CD, make a mount to where the cd is (for ex. drive F) and where the game is(for ex. C:/games/Dark)

 

 

If you are having trouble, you should use a frontend like Dfend. You don't have to type anything.

Maybe a dumb question..

 

I know how to change the cycles in dosbox, but how do i change the dos memory and the cpu core?

[Springgirl]

Can someone tell me how to turn down the cycles in DOSBox to under 200? Thanks.

Has anyone tried getting Timidity to work for DosBox. I would like to know because I use Vista and it breaks midi support (except for ablib which sucks)

I play DF on PS1 which saves a lot of hassle. Yep I know it aint PC and people may prefer to use a mouse but I like it.

Dang, I have never seen this thread. Don't know how I could of missed it though...

 

Looks like this weekend I'll be trying to get DF running again. It was my first SW game.

 

wish me luck..

2.Install it

3. Create a Folder in C: named DOSGAMES (case sensitive)

4.open dosbox

5.write this: mount c C:\DOSGAMES

6.write this: mount d yourdriveletterletter:\ -t cdrom

7.now write D:

8.write install.exe

9.go to install

10.go to custom install

11.press enter

12.check : levels, textures, cutscenes, and sprites

13.press continue

14.look how it installs

15.press any key

16.press any key again

17.wait

18.press c

19.press enter

20.now choose sound blaster 16

21.at port select 220

23.press detect

24.press any key

25.select quit

26.press y

27.select exit

28.select exit again

29.write dark.exe

30.play the game with no lagg and enjoy (note if u see that the game slows down just press ctrl+f12 or/and ctrl + f8 as times as it runs perfect)

I used DOSBOX to install and play Dark Forces and it works perfectly fine. Now I'm enjoying this game from 1995 (!!!) with my kids who are 5 and 7. For those who don't know how to install it, read this thread and you'll get all the information you'll need to play Dark Forces on a PC (XP or Vista). I have the original Dark Forces CD, Dark Forces II and Jedi Outcast.
