I downloaded a version of an old game by Maxis called Simtower. The site I download from said to try running using DosBox if I got an initial 'NoDisk' error. I followed the directions for Dosbox:
mount c c:gamessimtower
then I typed c: to get the promt.
The only executable file I see is SETUP.EXE and when I type it and hit enter it reads: This Program Requires Microsoft Windows
Does anyone know what this error/message means?
Nov 19, 2019 DOSBox is a DOS-emulator that uses the SDL-library which makes DOSBox very easy to port to different platforms. DOSBox has already been ported to many different platforms, such as Windows, BeOS, Linux, Mac OS X. I have installed dosbox on Mac OS and it's running great. Except for the missing config file! I just want to change some of the set up options but cannot locate the file. On my mac the /Library/Preferences/DOSBox 0.73 Preferences folder is not present, there is nothing in /library/ related to dosbox at all. Install Windows 3.1 in DOSBox to run old 16-bit Windows games on 64-bit versions of Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and anywhere else DOSBox runs. This is particularly useful as only 32-bit versions of Windows can run those 16-bit applications.
