The part where you type c: is just to change directories from the Z:/> drive to the C:>/ drive (which would be the folder that you put the wolf game in) OR to tell DosBox that your wolf folder is on the C drive i.e. (Mount c c:\wolf) If you just type mount c c:/ you will mount your entire C: Drive in DosBox and thus to run the game you'll have to change directories from the root level to the Wolf folder and then type Wolf to run the game.



I can 100% tell you that when you get down to it both Intel and AMD processors work the same way in this situation. There would be no difference. Although using an older Intel machine might allow you to run Wolf directly from XP without the use of DosBox, running an AMD machine will not change the procedure to run it under DosBox in fact it was written and tested on an AMD machine.

Yeah I know, that's why I was so surprised when the game worked like it should! It's weird

well i downloaded the files, and unzipped them, but do i have to install them? im not sure how to start it, as in first opening it, what is there a setup.exe file that i missed?

The Wolf game is very old so the Setup.exe program doesn't install the application but rather it allows you to set the application up for play on your computer. Most users shouldn't need to use it, it'll work without ever going into the setup app. You don't have to install Wolf in order to play the game. The only program that you have to install is DosBox.

yea, but i already downloaded DOSbox. and when i click on the file "WOLF' the screen turns black for about a second, and then goes back to normal, with the game not opened, but one time i did get the game to open, it said something like "welcome to wolf, blah blah blah" and i was about to go crazy being so happy, but then it closed ... ...I NEED HELP!

You have to start Wolf from within DosBox, not from within Windows as you have said you are doing. Whenever I attempted to run Wolf on my computer directly from Windows I had the same thing happen to me. Start DosBox and then follow the tutorial. It won't do much good to have DosBox installed if you don't use it.

yea, do you have DOSbox-0.63, because that's what im using, and it's confusing, i can't understand the torturial . I did create the directory and everything for c drive, and blah blah blah, but i can't firgure out how to start WOLF

ok, I'm more then happy to help you out! We'll get this all worked out, no worries!

So now you have a folder in your root C: Directory called WOLF and you have moved all of the Wolf game files into that directory correct?

If that is the case then open up DosBox and reference the picture below:



when you're in the C prompt just type wolf and if everything is in the correct place then the game will start.

If that isn't the case let me know.

ok, i installed(sp) the DOSbox0.65, and i created a directory for wolf, but how do you move the wolf files (like setup.exe, that's what it says i need moved into the wolf dir) into the wolf directory?

Open up the zip file in Windows, (You're on XP right?) and go to Edit > Select all then go to Edit > COPY, then open up your Wolf directory and go to Edit > Paste and the contents of the zip file should be copied over to your hard drive.

ahhh!!!!!!! i know what i was doing....i couldn't find out where the directory was, that was my problem.....and i guess i didn't think to look in the c hard drive,......even though i saved it to there ......meh dumb! ....well im opening it now, but that's for the help

edit:OMG IT'S PLAYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHH thanks for helping me open it ..im going to tbe playing this all night now,
