HOW TO INSTALL DOS GAMES ON WINDOWS

Dos will be a borring os for you all.But there are certain childhood dos games which we liked to play once again in our lives the most common example is the game named Dave,themepark etc.,.These games will not work on windows or other latest operating system by default.It needs a emulator to work..So lets come to our topic




To install DOS games on Windows 7, you will first need a DOS emulator. The DOSBOX is one of the best DOS emulators that works with Vista x86/x64 and Windows 7 x86/x64.


You can download the DOSBOX for free from their official website

After downloading and installing the DOSBOX, next we have to mount the folder with our DOS games that we want to play on Windows 


Create a new folder and copy your DOS games into the folder. I created my folder on C:/ and named it “DOSGAMES”, but you can create in other drives also as you wish....!!




Switch back to your DOSBOX and enter the following command's:




MOUNT C C:\DOSGAMES


CD to your DOS game. Enter “CD DOSGAMEFOLDERNAME” (replace DOSGAMEFOLDERNAME with the actual folder name of your DOS game. In our example it would “CD themepark”




Keep in mind that DOS folders can only have 8 characters (yes, old systems like DOS only allowed up to 8 characters for each folder or filename). If you want to CD to “themep”, this is going to happen:


Enter install.exe to install the DOS game on Windows

NOTE:

• This method works on all windows  including windows7

• directoryname must be no  longer than 8 characters
