Old Dos Games w/Bootcamp

[speXedy]

Ok so I have bootcamp, and some old dos games, they work, but no sound. They ussuall need interal pc speakers to work, but i can't get them to work. does a mac have an internal speaker? is there a way around it? I am trying to get King's Quest V to work, and a few other Kings Quest games.

That depends on the Mac. Most Macs do make sound through a built in speaker, but i don't know about the Mac mini.

I have the iMac 20" Intel

intro mount

mount c:\sierra\kingsquest

every single time?

write a batch file, then just run it.

 

[speXedy]

how do you write a batch file?

A batch file is, at its simplist level, a series of DOS commands.

For example - you can create go.bat and have the following in it:

mount c /Users/test/kingsquest
C:
C:\quest.exe

(I have no idea about the actual directories / commands - you'll have to substitute them)

If you wish it to launch automatically when clicking on DOSBOX, then do the following:

1. Go into DOSBOX normally and type:
config -writeconf dosbox.conf

2. Right click Dosbox app, and show package contents
3. Go into Contents/MacOS and load dosbox.conf up in TextEdit
4. Find the AutoExec section and add the kingsquest batch commands in there so it will auto start.
