getting the game to work...

[ukyo]

First I'm not a programmer I'm just a gamer, so I don't understand code.

This is what I've done.

After spending five hours searching, screaming at my computer, and generally grumbling, complaining, and even pissing my wife off, I've managed to get dosbox installed, the game patched to version 1.31 and then to 1.40.

Then I tried to run the game, still failure. Something about mounting, switching, which I don't understand in the slightest, but I found something about how to mount things so I did that. Still won't run because it won't recognize the CD rom, so I figured out how to do that. Still won't recognize it. Yeesh I feel like I need a degree to install a damned patch or something... I'm a gamer, not a programmer lol!!

Anyhow, somehow I'm still failing to get dosbox to see the CD rom for the purpose of playing MOO2 ver 1.40. Can someone please help?

Persistence... if it's not working, you haven't try again.

You don't need cd-rom at all. Just copy all files from cd to your moo folder. You may need orioncd.ini (if it's missing in moo folder just create it with notepad and put there the cd-rom drive leter, e/g "e:\")It is explained in this dosbox guide (see the link to LB's guide)as well as other issues concerning installation.

awesome thank you. That fixed it, though the guide is written from the standpoint of someone who understands code, I muddled my way through. Just needed to be pointed in the right direction.
