I haven't been much into games for a while, especially after my harddrive (which I had not backed up) crashed, taking all my abandonware with it. That changed recently when I read that Bethesda was freely releasing Daggerfall, which I had previously been unable to get working properly (intellectual property crime doesn't pay, kids). It all seems to be working properly (although I don't know how to maximize the game screen), but I'm a lazy bastard and not satisfied with having to execute a bunch of commands in DosBox every time I want to start it. I'd like to create a batch file to execute the lines
DosBox starts out in a Z:\ directory, with an AUTOEXEC.BAT file and a bunch of COM files, but I can't find those files anywhere on my machine. I'd like to just be able to type DAGGERFALL.BAT as soon as I started DosBox, but I don't know where to put the file, and can't seem to create it from within DosBox. I've heard you can add some lines to AUTOEXEC to do that, but that seems like a lame solution which can only be done for one game at a time. Anyone know how to create such a batch? Also, if I could write a batch that started DosBox and then fed it those commands, that would be even better.
Code:
mount c "C:\Program Files\Daggerfall" -freesize 1000
mount d "C:\Program Files\Daggerfall\DFCD" -t cdrom -label Daggerfall
c:
cd \dagger
dagger
