    You don't get idea - DOSBox isn't for apps - it's for playing old games :)

    I wrote this port because... I want to play Mega lo Mania, really. :) MorphOS UAE is very slow with sound and I can't use it and PC version of this game is some better (256 colors).

    I have a question about CDrom support...

    I mounted my cd rom like this:
    mount d cd0: -t cdrom

    It responds that there is limited support (since it sees this as mounting a directory as a cdrom.)

    I managed to install MechWarrior 2 (just curious as to how painful that would be). Anyway, it responds that it can't find the cdrom.

    When I run:
    mount -usecd -cd

    It replies that it found 0 cdroms.

    Any clues as to what I should be doing? :P

    P.S.
    Crusader: No Remorse kinda works, but I don't recommend it on a G3 Peg1. Hopefully my G4 module will get here soon enough so I can test it with a more powerful system.

    Rebel Assault 2 works great! :)

    Fade To Black has some problems getting into the game. (It's complaining that it's not an iso9660 cdrom... Probably how I'm mounting it.)

    Magic Carpet: works, but is realllllllly slow on a Peg1 G3.

    well here, I'm not in ramdebug mode so I can see hits and slow
    downs... I can't start it more than 2 times because of the heavy slow
    down. I hope hits will be corrected...
    N'cha, LorD
