For example, if you have a path like c:\users\fu bar\desktop\emu\dos

it won't work. You'll have to type it like this:

c:\users\fu~1\desktop\emu\dos

Theres a ö... not sure if that breaks anything...

So can i just replace the word with the ö with its first few letters then ~1?

try it in windows command prompt. do a cd \ and then cd users, then... assuming it's fuöbar, try "cd fu~1" and see if it takes.

You'll wanna do every normal letter up until the ö and then the ~1, usually.

oh, and... first 6 letters only. For example "Program Files (x86)" is "progra~2" (because there's also a Program Files in the same folder). DOSbox faithfully emulates 16-bit DOS, which could not handle filenames with special characters or anything more than 8 letters. The ~x takes up 2 letters so the rest can't be any more than 6.

Doesnt look like it works.

hmm... it's difficult to tell you what to type without actually seeing the blurred out parts, but I understand the need for privacy. lemme look for something real quick.

Okay, duh. Let's do this. In dosbox, just do "mount c c:\" Once you've done that, type cd users and then type dir /w.

that should list all the folders in c:\users\.

lets just say users\fuböa\Desktop\fubar\emu\dos
Unless normall letters somehow matter??

then it should be c:\users\fub~1\desktop\fubar\emu\dos, but try what I said above, that will tell you for sure what it is.

the ö seems to get replaced by the divide symbol (not / the other one) i've no idea how to type.

huh. weird. lemme try making a folder with that symbol myself.

I got it. If the thing is fuöbar, do this:

when you go to type it, type the fu and then hold down the alt key and on the NUMBER PAD, type 0246 and then release the alt key. You should get that same symbol.

Kay thanks!

I don't know why, but the ö is 0246 and the ÷ is 0247 but for some weird reason, DOSBox is displaying the character map as +1 for some weird reason, so when you do 0246 you're actually getting 0247. Not sure why. That's weird.

Lemme know if it works!

Seems to work but the game asks for a CD i dont have....

FGWUIDWHDJS Why cant this be as convient as GBA emulation where i just boot the emu, load the rom and DONE.

You're trying to play age-old games on new-age computers, lol. Did you get the game from GOG? Or did you download a .iso?
