Cool, I’ve sent you an email with some files and instructions on how to get to the point where the game requests the 2nd CD.

No worries, I was out of the country as well. I’m in no hurry either way, it’s cool if we can get it to work if not also fine. Already quite happy with Magic dosbox because it allows me to flawlessly play some of my favorite old games on android.

I’ve mounted the root folder of the game as drive C. This is were the imperium.exe file is located. The game also runs fine that way until it requires CD2.

I’ve also noted the that when I exit the game, I’m returned to the CMD prompt. IF I type D: there it indicates that it can’t find the drive. So I might have done something wrong there I’ve added both CD’s as IMP1 and IMP2 based on the original iso files using the CD-ROM part of the setup. I’ve also tried added the folder as a CD, because the GOG version doesn’t seem to have any ISO files in it and as far as I can tell from the config files it’s only mounting a C-drive.

Ah the Autoexec part just has these lines.

[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
# You can put your MOUNT lines here.
@echo off
mount c “..”
c:
cls
imperium
exit

I’m getting 2 different errors btw whilst trying to upload.

dosbox.txt: The uploaded file could not be moved to wp-content/uploads/2024/06.
dosbox_ig.txt: The uploaded file could not be moved to wp-content/uploads/2024/06.
dosbox_ig_settings.txt: Sorry, you are not allowed to upload this file type.
dosbox_ig_single.txt: Sorry, you are not allowed to upload this file type.

So there are four conf. files.

In the Game_root with the executable.
Dosbox_IG.conf
Dosbox_Ig_setting.Conf
Dosbox_IG_single.Conf

In the Game_root/dosbox folder.
Dosbox.Conf

Im guessing Dosbox_IG.conf is the relevant one.

The Ig_single or IG settings basically have nothing but the launch parameters.

“@echo off
mount c “..”
c:
cls
imperium
exit”
