| + | ======Tie Fighter in DosBox====== | ||
| + | =====Prerequesites===== | ||
| + | * Game: Tie Fighter (Gold Collectors Edition CD) | ||
| + | * DosBox: 0.74 | [[http://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1]] | ||
| + | * This will work on most versions of Windsows (XP, Vista, Windows 7) & Mac OS X (Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard) | ||
| + | * Game CD Required | ||
| + | |||
| + | =====Key configuration steps===== | ||
| + | * Step 1 - USB Joystick Required | ||
| + | * Step 2 - Create a directory to serve as the virtual C drive during your DOSBox session. I usually just create a directory named ‘dos’ and stick it in the root folder of my hard drive. You can stash the folder in your user profile, of course, but typing C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\Dos every time you want to play TIE Fighter rapidly gets tiresome. | ||
| + | * Step 3 - Downlowd and Install DosBox | ||
| + | * Step 4 - Open the DosBox Options file to make some simple changes: | ||
| + | * Run DoxBox Full Screen | ||
| + | * Add the following Quick Start commands | ||
| + | * mount c c:\dos | ||
| + | * mount d d:\ -t cdrom | ||
| + | * c:\ | ||
| + | * Step 5 - Run DocBox. You will see a C:\ prompt. | ||
| + | * Step 6 - Install Tie Fighter. Use 'D:\' then 'Instal' without the "'" | ||
| + | * Step 7 - To play Tie Fighter, type 'CD TIECD' then 'TIE' (without the "'") at the C:\ prompt. | ||
