Does anyone out there have a DOS setup that works with most DOS games? I'm trying to play Riddle of Master Liu and Are you Afraid of the Dark. Riddle goes to load in MSDOS then brings me back to the desktop. Afraid says I need 1072 more memory (doesn't specify what type). Running Windows 98 SE. Here are is my setup. Anyone have any changes to suggest so I can run these and most other DOS games?
Autoexec:
SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 H7 P330 T6 SET SBPCI=C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\AUDIO\DOSDRV SET MSINPUT=C:\MSINPUT \BIN\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /D:MSCD000
Config:
LASTDRIVE=Z DEVICEHIGH = C:\ATAPI\TOSHV224.SYS /D:MSCD000 DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS DEVICE=C:\Windows\EMM386.EXE RAM 1024 D=64 DEVICEHIGH = C:\ATAPI\TOSHV224.SYS /D:MSCD000 DOS=HIGH,UMB files=99 DEVICEhigh=\DEV\TAISATAP.SYS /D:MSCD001 /N:1
Thanks in advance
Bill

Why do you have two lines for EMM386.EXE? REM out the one you're not using. I'm pretty sure I used NOEMS for both ROML and Afraid. I'll have to check the games though. DEVICEHIGH = C:\ATAPI\TOSHV224.SYS /D:MSCD000
You already have that line.
DOS=HIGH,UMB files=99 DEVICEhigh=\DEV\TAISATAP.SYS /D:MSCD001 /N:1
Is there a reason you have lines both for Taisatap.sys and Toshv224.sys drivers? I usually go for simplicity and use one CD driver for both CD drives. Even if only one worked for each drive, I'd only load the driver for the drive I was going to use.
I got both ROML and Afraid running without using a boot disk - just using Start\Shut Down\restart in MSDOS mode. But I didn't play through the games.
I'll go load them up and see what autoexec and config stuff gets them working.

Thanks Jenny. Let me know which works. I have a boot disk from a ways back Mr Lipid that I was walked through creating. Not sure now the way to do it.

I think I have a bad disk of ROML. It installs for a second and about a 1/4 of the game logo shows then freezes (same in DOS and MSDOS). Thanks anyway Jenny. Looks like I can forget about this one unless I get a loaner from someone.
