"DOSBOX DOS game emulator (it runs Wizardry 1-7)"
Hello
As we all know, Wizardry 6 in unplayable on normal computers without being slowed down.
During the last year another possibility appeared: DOSBOX emulator: http://dosbox.zophar.net/
It is specially made for old DOS games and plays majority of real mode games (protected mode is not supported yet).
This emulator is able to run all Wizardries up to Wizardry 7 (and also Ultima 2-6, Bards Tale games, Might & Magic 1-5 etc. - usually everything with sound (PC Speaker/SB/Adlib are emulated - although there are still bugs)). Emulator has modifiable speed.

There is also correct sound in Wizardry 6 & 7:
Wizadry 6
- configure for PC Speaker (Adlib&SB does not work correctly)
Wizardry 7
- configure music for SoundBlaster and other sounds for PC Speaker (I think that SB sound does not work correctly)

I am a fan of RPGs and a betatester of the emulator (there is a closed group of betatesters). If you encounter any serious problem in Wizardry 6/7 (not a minor sound bug!) , I would like to know about it . Mail me or better post it on the DOSBOX forum on SourceForge.
There is also bug tracker on sourceforge (but the main bug hunting is done in a closed beta test group, bug tracker is only secondary)

Real fans of old games can also ask to become beta testers itself(but it depends on developers: Harekiet, QBIX, Finster). Or they can programm themselves - sources are available on sourceforge.

Hello there. I just got a copy of BOTCF and am having major trouble getting it to run on my pc. I tried Moslo but couldnt get it to work. I dl'ed DosBox and am still having trouble. It just gives me an error message.

I type in "Mount c c:\bane"
that part seems to work fine. But when I type playbane.bat I get the following error message.

Error 60 loading overlay: WINITGOTO: Label err17 not found.

Any idea what Im doing wrong? lol
