Re: Another Question for Tricob

If the filename or folder has spaces in it and/or is over eight characters in length, it'll be exactly eight characters long, have the first six characters intact (minus any spaces), then a "~" followed by number.  For example, if your folder was named "Documents and Settings", it might be listed as this name when displayed in DOS Box:

C:\DOCUME~1

Note that it could be DOCUME~2, DOCUME~3, or what have you.  You just have to enter the DIR command to see what they're called.

If you don't want to deal with tildes (~) and such, you can always place the NES emulator and games in any folder that has a name with no spaces, and is eight characters in length or less, such as C:\NINTENDO, C:\NES, C:\NES-EMU, C:\NESGAMES, or others.

I downloaded the DOSBox but now I"m having trouble. INorder to get my games to work I have to do some sort of mount command in the program. It's been so long since I had to use DOS commands that I do't really remember what to do. I know the command line that goes to the games but when I tried the mount it wouldn't work. Could you help me out with this?
The command line that goes to the games is:
C;\Documents and Settings\Owner\DEsktop\STuff\Nintendo\NES
Would this be too long to use and would I need to put the NES stuff somewhere else that's shorter?
