Why is this not working?
Most abandonware games on PC were created for the MS-DOS operating system. Today's computers no longer offer the same environment for the programs. Hopefully, some people were unhappy with this and created software to mimic the old computers operating system!
What program should I use?
Depending on your operating system, you have different possibilities.
For every operating system
DOSBox is the master DOS emulator, it works with almost every computer, and will be enough for a quick play of most games. Check the DOSBox website for more information. DOSBox works in Windows 10.
DOSBox Enhanced Community Edition, aka DOSBox ECE, is a good replacement of vanilla DOSBox. Many new features are added by the author YesterPlay, check the project website for a list of enhancements. Available for Windows and Linux.
You may use another program for many point and click games, ScummVM. You should check their compatibility page and search for the game you wish to play.
DOSBox has many frontend programs (complete list here) that give you a more appealing interface. DGBL is one of them, and it runs on Windows, Mac and Linux. For quick way to play DOS games, you may also use IA Launcher, which launch games directly from the Internet Archive. Available for Windows (easy installer), Mac and Linux.
Windows (XP, Vista, Seven, 8, 10)
Most people are using Microsoft's Windows and an easy solution is available: D-fend Reloaded. It has a nice graphical interface, and a lot of things are done for you behind the scenes. The project has not been updated for years though, so you may prefer DGBL.
A possible alternative is LaunchBox, which supports DOS games but now tons of other platforms, including Windows and Steam games.
Mac OS X
Boxer is clearly the best DOSBox frontend on Mac, but it has not been updated since 2016. If you have updated to Catalina or above, the app won't work anymore. It has been partially ported to 64 bits, you can get it here or check the newest updates on this GitHub thread.
Linux
On Linux, you should use one of the cross-platform frontends like DGBL. Check the complete list on the DOSBox wiki
I need help this is not working!
Please note we do not provide support for running abandonware games. We strongly suggest you to ask for help on dedicated forums, like Abandonia or Vogons. You may also use the DosBox subreddit.
DOSBox setup
You should carefully read the DOSBox Wiki for a good walkthrough. The singing scar mac os. Mac OS X users should pay attention to those instructions, although I recommend using Boxer.
DOSBox drag and drop (Windows)
Many of the standard DOS games can be played immediately with a drag and drop, after a standard DOSBox setup:
- download the game archive and unzip it ;
- drag and drop the game folder on the desktop icon of DOSBox ;
- the game folder will be mounted as C: - just type the name the right .exe file and press enter ;
- tips: use DIR command in DOSBox to list game files (if the list is big, use 'DIR /p'), and use the TAB key to autocomplete the .exe file name.
If you don't have the DOSBox shortcut on your desktop, the drag and drop works on the DOSBox executable file located in C:Program FilesDOSBox-0.xx
D-Fend Reloaded Setup
As a start, download the latest setup of D-Fend.
Once installed, follow the following steps (click on the pictures for full size). Screenshots taken in Windows 10 October 2016.
Step 1
Starting with a fresh D-Fend install, you should see this screen after launching the program. You can already launch DOSDox DOS to bring an operational MS-DOS system. Guess you want to play a GAME, so not much to do here.
Step 2
First, unzip the downloaded game somewhere. Then click on Extras > Open game folder. This is where you will put the game files.
Step 3
The game folder is the virtual drive used by the default D-Fend setup. For this tutorial, I unzipped the Mario Teaches Typing on the desktop, then moved the game folder to the Game Folder of D-Fend. The name of the folder itself is not important, but you should avoid spaces or special characters.
Moving the game directory from the desktop to the D-Fend Virtual Drive.Step 4
Now that the game files are on the virtual drive, we must add the game to D-Fend. Click on Add > Add manually. > Add DOSBox Profile. A new window will appear, as shown in the video, the 'Profile editor'. We must set the program file by clicking on the folder icon at the right end of 'Program file'.
The explorer will show you the contents of the virtual drive. Navigate through the game folder until you see program files. Some game only has one file listed here, Mario Teaches Typing has two, usually, the right file to select is named after the game. This time, it's 'MARIO', select the file and click Open. You may also select a setup program the same way, as shown in the video. Useful for sound configuration most of the time.
Coming back to the Profile editor, we can see the executable file in the Program file field. The last thing to do is to set the name of the game in the Profile name field. Once this is done, click on Ok. The game appears in the list, double-click to run it and have fun! Back to the pandemic mac os.
Create a new profile for a game, define the game and setup executable files, set a name then save.D-Fend Reloaded Wizard
You may also use the game wizard in D-Fend Reloaded, it's simpler to add a game.
Step 1
The Pizza Revenge Of The Duct Tape Wizard Mac Os 7
After downloading and unzipping the game files somewhere, launch D-Fend, click Add > Add with wizard. A new window appears, 'Create new profile', Emulation type should be set to DOSBox. Click on Next.
Step 2
Click on the folder on the right side of the 'Program to be started'. Navigate to your folders to the game directory and find the proper executable file (see the second paragraph in Step 4 of the previous tutorial). Click on Open.
Step 3
D-Fend will auto-detect the game sometimes, you may also select one in the list as shown in the screenshot. By clicking Next, you get some additional information on the game, anyway, you can click Ok, the game will be listed in the main windows and ready to be played!
Additional steps and troubleshooting
Amongst different problems we have run into, here are some additional tips.
How to make DOSBox fullscreen
By default, DOSBox runs in windowed mode. To make DOSBox fullscreen, just press ALT and Enter. Press ALT and Enter again to get back to windowed mode. If you want DOSBox to always run fullscreen when launched, edit dosbox.conf (click on 'DOSBox 0.74 Options' in Start menu), change 'fullscreen=false' to 'fullscreen=true', save and close the text editor.
Games Running Too Fast or Too Slow
Many old games were made to run as fast as the computer could get, those may be too fast with DOSBox default CPU cycles. You have to reduce the CPU cycles with CTRL-F11 in DOSBox. Other frontend programs may use different shortcuts.
On the opposite, the default CPU cycles may be too low for 'recent' DOS games, you will have to raise the CPU cycles with CTRL-F12 in Dosbox. Other frontend programs may use different shortcuts. You can also skip frames in DOSBox to get better performances, use CTRL-F8 to increase the number of frames skipped. You can read more about performances in DOSBox on the official wiki.
Game setup
You may remember running SETUP.EXE to configure sound, have better graphics or enable mouse support. You should add the setup program to the Setup section, below the Program section in D-Fend, and launch it before playing the game.
DOSBox can emulate several sound cards, check out the wiki about sound setup. Most of the time, Sound Blaster or AdLib is the right choice.
Virtual Drive
Some games require you to emulate a floppy drive and have the game content mounted in it. To add this floppy drive, edit the game profile, click on Drives and add a new drive. You may use a folder or a real floppy image (.img) for the floppy content. Same goes for CD games.
PC-Booter Games
We have some PC-Booter games, theses games have to be booted to work. DOSBox can handle this fine, but these steps are not so clear.
Chuck Cartia gave us a nice walkthrough, using SpitFire Ace as an example:
1 - Create a folder to put your .img files in, for this example, on the C: drive make a folder named DriveImg. Not another soul! mac os.
2 - Now put the file spitfire.img in this folder. Add a line to the dosbox.conf file in the [autoexec] section:
boot c:DriveImgspitfire.img -l a
That's dash ell (for letter) and the drive letter you want to assign.
3 - Make sure you have any other references to this drive letter remmed out with the # like this:
#mount a a: -t floppy
or
#mount a s:install.
4 - That's it. Save the dosbx.conf file and when you start DOSBOX, the game should boot and start automatically just like the good old days when you shoved the disk in and turned on the (Atari) computer.
After reading this, the explanation in the DOSBOX readme.txt file should make sense and you can figure out how to add more drives for multiple disk games.
Note: You don't need to use the IMGMOUNT command when you use the BOOT command. Don't forget to rem out the boot line and unrem your other line(s) when you want to use DOSBOX normally.
Memory Problems
Some games have memory problems at startup, like error message telling you 'Not enough memory'. You should try several combinations of options in the 'Memory' part of the profile, enabling loadfix first.
For additional help, you should ask your questions over the Vogons forums or the DosBox subreddit.

Font doesn't look right
Many old games relied heavily on standard fonts present in the operating system, you can get them at the The Oldschool PC Font Resource, made by VileR. Font pack mirror available here.
ISO and CUE/BIN files (CD images)
Some of the games are available as a CD image, a perfect copy of the original CD. For DOS games, DOSBox will read the images if the format is ISO or BIN/CUE. Several formats are possible, though: ISO, CUE/BIN, NRG, MDS/MDF. Usually, these images come with Windows games, scroll down for help on opening these.
DOS Games
For DOS games, it's quite straightforward: DOSBox allows you to mount these images directly, with the IMGMOUNT command. The IMGMOUNT command will perfectly mount ISO images, but can also mount CUE/BIN images. CUE/BIN images allow you to mount a game CD which has music tracks on it - many games of the late 90s used this system, and you could play the game music on a CD player.
If you use a DOSBox frontend, you will probably find a way to mount an image through the menus. One alternative is to mount these images with a mounting software (see below for Windows) and using the mounted image as a source in DOSBox using the MOUNT command.
Windows Games
For Windows games, you need an additional software to read the images. Many software is available, not all of them are free:
- Virtual CloneDrive: light freeware, no ads or adware installed, highly recommended.
- WinCDEmu: open source, totally free, also recommended.
- MagicISO MagicDisc: good freeware, supports Win98/ME for old machines.
- ImDisk Virtual Disk Driver: very light freeware, can create any disk type, has command line support. Core virtual disk driver available here.
- DAEMON Tools Lite: a free version is available, watch out for adware during installation, you can also pay a $4 licence for a clean installer.
Once installed, most of these software will allow you to mount an ISO or CUE/BIN image by simply double-clicking on it. Beware, some images contains additional data only readable by DAEMON Tools, making the disk image unmountable, or making the game unplayable without a crack / noCD. Having DAEMON Tools installed for these cases can be useful.
Mounting images on a Mac
On a Mac computer, ISO files can be mounted without installing anything, but CUE/BIN files require DAEMON Tools Lite Mac to be mounted easily (click on the Download link next to the buy button). You can also try to rename the BIN file as an ISO file: rename 'gamefile.bin' to 'gamefile.iso' and open the file - it may work! Doodle book survival mac os.
The perfect pizza can sometimes be an elusive thing. https://hqipt-spin-free-100-swissdeposit.peatix.com. You need a great dough recipe, the dough needs to be proofed and ready to use, you have to properly stretch out the dough, get it on the peel, top it, and (what some would consider the hardest part) actually get the pizza off the peel and into the oven! There are a lot of places where your perfect pizza can go off the rails, and if you throw in hungry guests waiting to eat, you're going to be one frustrated foodie. Just take a deep breath and relax, because today we're going to talk about five pizza problems and how to fix them.
The Stuck Pizza
One of the most common pizza-making problems is a pizza that's stuck to your peel. Even after making thousands of pizzas, it's something that still happens to me! So why does it happen, and how do you prevent it? The culprit is usually not using enough dusting flour.
The Pizza Revenge Of The Duct Tape Wizard Mac Os X
Dusting flour is your best friend when working with pizza dough. Don't be afraid of over-flouring your pizza; you'll have a chance to brush off any excess before putting your dough on the peel. I usually start with at least ¼ cup all-purpose flour spread across my work surface. Video poker odds chart. After placing the ball in the flour, I sprinkle even more on top to keep the dough from sticking to my hands or rolling mat. Once your dough is flattened enough to begin stretching, you can toss the dough quickly from one hand to the other to shake off the excess flour. After your dough is stretched to the right size, don't forget to flour your peel!
That brings me to another common cause of a stuck pizza: the peel. Wooden peels are definitely best when making your pizza and putting it into the oven. A metal peel can be difficult for a novice pizza maker to use to put a raw pizza in. Metal, especially aluminum, can heat up really fast. Even those few seconds your peel is in the oven can cause the metal to get hot enough to start baking your crust. Moisture is emitted, and the pizza sticks to the peel. But don't despair if you already own a metal peel! They're better at other tasks than wooden peels; they're the superior choice when it comes to retrieving your pizza or rotating it in your oven. In fact, I always tell people they should have two peels, a wood one and a metal one, to get the best of both.
Thy Holy Crust
While pizza might be a heavenly, delicious food, a 'holy' crust isn't a good thing. But ripping a hole into your dough doesn't mean it's garbage! Pizza dough is actually pretty forgiving and resilient. If you find yourself constantly ripping your dough, try these tips:
- Sometimes dough rips because the gluten hasn't developed enough. If you're trying to stretch your dough and it's resisting, chances are it hasn't had enough time to proof. Stretch it only as much as it naturally lets you, and if it doesn't cooperate, simply let the dough rest on your work surface, covered in flour, for another 10 -15 minutes.
- If you experience ripping frequently, try cutting off a small piece of dough and saving it before you start stretching. If you rip a hole, take your 'patch' dough, flatten and stretch it to size, and use it to cover the hole. Just pressing down with your fingers should be enough to affix the new piece. If you've used a lot of flour (remember, that's also a good thing), it might make it a little harder for the patch to stick. This is the perfect time to use a dough docker. Rolling a docker over the two pieces will fuse them together as the tool's spikes forcefully seals the two pieces.
Huge, Monstrous Bubbles Everywhere
Maybe your pizza problem is that it blew up like a balloon – we're talking Goodyear blimp size. This usually happens if the dough is too cold. Normally, a few small or medium-sized bubbles create a fun and tasty texture in a pie. But big bubbles can be a real problem, especially if they take up enough real estate that they cause you to lose a slice or two. Always make sure your dough is properly proofed to avoid this. Your dough is ready when it's almost completely lost its chill, and has about doubled in size. The dough docker we've already mentioned is another great way to keep bubbles from taking over your pizza. Roll it over your stretched dough to pop any bubbles that might be lurking in your crust.
Soggy Pizza
There's (almost) nothing worse than a soggy pizza, and there's a few ways pizzas end up that way. It's a problem not only with fresh pizza, but also with reheating leftovers. If you saw our leftover pizza blog you already know to skip the microwave and use cast iron or a pizza stone to reheat leftovers to crispy perfection. If you've got a water-logged pizza you made from scratch, ask yourself a few questions: 'What's the moisture content like in my pizza toppings?' 'How thick (or thin) is my sauce?' 'Do I have more than a few meats high in fat on my pizza?' All these things can contribute to a soggy slice that just won't hold up. Wet vegetables like marinated artichokes, olives, and fresh tomatoes can really add to the moisture content of your pizza – especially when combined with a 'loose' or high-moisture pizza sauce. Try using less of these ingredients, or cut the ingredients smaller to better cover a pizza while still using less. Draining canned vegetables and even patting them dry with paper towels can also help solve this dilemma.
Sauce is Sauce
My last word of advice is to skip the pre-made stuff! When it comes to sauce, you should let your tomatoes do the talking. What you lay down before the cheese should be a simple combination of great-tasting tomatoes, salt, and maybe a pinch or two of fresh basil (if you're feeling fancy). Pizza has fallen victim to over-processing over the years, so the simplicity of the ingredients will help your flavor profile become more balanced, rather than loud and obnoxious. That doesn't mean you need to skip the can altogether: canned crushed tomatoes (as opposed to processed, pre-made sauce) can be a great base. Some pizza problems can be solved with a nifty gadget; others require practice and trial and error. In either case, take these five tips with you to your next pizza cookout for a less stressful, less problematic night.
