Be patient the steps to start may take a while (shorten often works by pressing return or esc) change to that folder of #6 with C: and cd"name of game" (dir /w) to see the folders horizontally displayed - if too many, try dir /p = displayed screen by screen) or D: to start from CD and look for a file to start the game (name of the pinsim or else.follow instructions of the pinsim-CD especially with sound (soundblaster usually works).Install the pinsim to the folder you choosed/opened in step 3 You might first have to jump 1 level up by "cd name"(of folder) =>one level down by "cd." exe/bat => in DOS there is a maximum of 8 letters for the name! and letters "~" (AltGr #) is displayed for a longer name but still only those 8 letters you have to type!) exe/bat or else, to play it might be start, the name of the game. to install or if possible play the pinsim from CD go to D: (would be your virtual CD drive) and look for a file to install the game (install or setup.In my case virtual drive starts the virtual CD-Rom with drive letter K: that is mounted as E: the next free letter in DOSBox (after D: is the mounted CDRom drive or without=D:) => the virtual drive has to be mounted before DOSBox is started or is not mounted by DOSBox. If you use iso`s of the CD`s you have to mount the virtual drive for the iso as well. Mount the CD drive you use for the DOS-pinball-CD`s as D: (when DOSBox is C:) you may create a new folder like pinball for your games (under XP/Vista) or let them be installed on DOSBox`ses C:.When the CD wants to install folders on C: its this mounted C of DOSBox not your native win10 C: ! Mount the native drive (here F:\Dosgames\ =the drive from step 1) as C: in DOSBox. Later my pinball games will install on Dosgames under a self given name or the by the game proposed name. I installed it on F:Pinball\Dosgames\DOSBox. install DOSBox (unzipped) to a new folder of a native drive.In 2008 I gave it a new start and I wondered how simple it was: I guess I just didn`t read or understood the instructions how to mount the virtual drives (your native drive with your programs and the CD-drive are named in DOSBox as drive C: and D:). When using DOSBox for the first time about 2006, I didn`t get anything to run. You can even slow down or speed up the game a little bit.
