DosBox - Dungeons Keeper

[Fefo81]

This is the picture of Dosbox... it said to install the cd... I don’t understand

This is the content of the folder dungkeep.pc

This is the content of the folder keeper

Thanks for your help

@Fefo81 WOW, it looks like you mistook half the information!
And checking out the prints, you told me one thing, but it's actually another.
Let's go to the beginning, you have these files in the dungkeep.pc folder:

I notice that there is a folder "cd", which has the file KDDISK ~ 1.cue (that you unzipped the corresponding .bin), and in fact, I understood that these files in the image above were inside a file. bin:

@Zing said in DosBox - Dungeons Keeper:

Let me better understand the situation (I don't speak English perfectly): the files in the print that you showed in the post, are inside a .bin file, right?

This is not the situation, so the idea is different:
Let's start from the first print you sent, in fact, it wasn't inside a .bin file, and you didn't need to unzip anything. Go back to that step, the way the game is in the first, and ignore the other steps you did.

In fact, you need to mount the file. cue that is in the cd folder, and after that, run the keeper.exe file that is in the main folder, you don't need to unzip anything, and you probably won't even need to install anything.
It looks something like this:

imgmount d "/recalbox/share/roms/dos/dungkeep.pc/cd/KDDISK~1.cue" -t iso
C:
keeper.exe

@Zing first of all thank you very much for your help and for being so patient. As I said in the first post I’m a novice.
So If I understood correctly, I deleted the content of the folder extracted with daemon tools and I replaced in the dosbox folder the content I had at the beginning of the process. I also added the dosbox.bat and I wrote the commands you suggested me.
The game seemed to start but then appeared a screen asking for the cd.
Have I missed something?
Thanks

@Fefo81 Well, I'm helping without being sure (because I never did), but if we insist, at some point it will work!
If the executable starts, but does not recognize the CD, it indicates that the CD was not mounted correctly, do the following, try only the command:

imgmount d "/recalbox/share/roms/dos/dungkeep.pc/cd/KDDISK~1.cue" -t iso
pause

And take a print, it will give an error message in that command, we need to know what it is.
And, take a print of the contents of the "cd" folder.

Anticipating the result, check the correct name of the .cue file, I copied the name "KDDISK ~ 1.cue" from one of the prints you posted, but I didn't see what the correct name was. If that name is wrong, already try to put the correct name, in the command I quoted in the previous post and see what happens.

Everything indicates that either the path is wrong, or the name of the file, and therefore is not mounting the CD, which is necessary to run the game.

Hi @Fefo81, @gabooks and @Zing

I tried on my side and it's working with this configuration :

Below you can see files and directories inside my "Dungeon Keeper.pc" directory

Below the content of my "CD" directory

And the content of "KEEPER" directory

Here is my "dosbox.bat"

You can remove the "pause". I put it here to check if CD image mount correctly

Hope this can help you

@nexusone13 @Zing Thank you very much for your effort.
I tried this configurations moving my files coping your directories (names are the same). But I noticed I don’t have the file deeper.exe
Unfortunately didn’t work.

I noticed I have this file in my folder
Below the content. Does it make any sense to you?

Deeper is useless, it's an extension of the main game.

It's your configuration ?

So could you make a screenshot of the content of the "CD" directory please

@Fefo81 all this batch file are useless in our case.

Be careful, if you renamed the CD image (.cue and .bin), you must open the .cue file with a text editor to modify the content corresponding to the .bin name

[Fefo81]

@nexusone13 Exactly. This is my configuration.
Below the content of the cd folder

@Fefo81 I sent you a private message. Tell me if it's ok now. It must be correct cause it's exactly my setting

[nexusone13]

@Fefo81 With your KDDISK1.cue and KDDISK2.cue, the image is not mounted. So I copied KDDISK1.cue and KDDISK1.bin from my version on yours and the image is mounted and the game is launched correctly. See my private message for more details

@nexusone13 @Zing It’s working! Thank you very much for your help! You have been all very kind!
