Under A Killing Moon

[Submeg]

Used to play this game ages ago, and had to set it up under DosBox. Was a bit annoyed the last time I tried, it didn't work. But! I found a great site with walkthroughs on how to set them up!

Glenns Guides

I haven't look through them but, I'm guessing they would be as good as this one. I did this first time and it worked perfectly! Very impressed.

Nice find. Some great guides to get loads of great old DOS games running with DOSBox on modern machines.

I got excited by the thread title. I thought that with there being a full moon and the moon being the closest to the Earth for 15 years that someone had gone postal!! How disappointing.

Nice find indeed. Did you ever try D-Fend as frontend for DOSBox? I use it, that way if you set up a game once, you can immediately launch it from D-Fend. Latest version is D-Fend Reloaded, you can find it here.

I did use D-fend on my older system that died. Not got around to setting it up again though. Tend to just make a duplicate of the DOSBox installation for each game I wish to play, then copy the game files in with them, so I have a directory for each game. But I only have a few DOS games setup at any one time. If I start to set more up at once then I will definitely go back to a frontend.

frontend?

[Demon Cleaner]

A frontend is a graphical user interface (GUI) for a commandline based emulator. F.ex. MAME is commandline based, and MAMEUI32 is a frontend for it, just like MAMEWah, Mala, MESS and a lot more.

Ahh right, got ya. Is there one for DOSBOX?

[Harrison]

Yes, the one DC mentioned, D-Fend Reloaded, is for DOSBox and is pretty good.

Hmm...
