Saw this on a french site, it wouldnt run on for me in XP, keeper95 just gave a hook error or something then quits, and dos one wouldnt run either, but apparently it has some unreleased levels and debug commands in it, if anyone can run it and post some english impressions thatd be cool. Think it uses some of the text and speech that was in the retail release but never used also.

Ok Jurai, here goes:

Using DosBox 0.65, I got this baby to run, albeit slowly on my laptop because I am in need of a reboot with all the crap I am doing. But anyway....

What you need to do is edit the cfg file of Dosbox (the Autoexec part at the end where you mount the virtual drives) to match the path specified in the game's .cfg file.

Or, I edited the game config file like so:

INSTALL_PATH=C:\KEEPER\

I edited the Dosbox .cfg file to mount my Games folder in Dosbox folder inside the emulated C drive:

mount c D:\Dosbox\Games

I dropped the KEEPER folder in the games folder, started up Dosbox, changed directory to KEEPER and ran the KEEPER.exe.

Looks nice, but the translation stuff and debug stuff is beyond my knowledge. Try the Dosbox forums here for the tough stuff

On a completely unrelated note, i think i have a copy of a Dungeon Keeper beta (one or two, i can't recall). It's in german if i remember correctly.

Hope that hard drive is still good, it was at my parent's house until a few weeks ago. There's about 30 gig worth of source code on that thing from various games...

I assumed he meant Windows 3.x onward. For some reason post-DOS Windows are often called PC, and anything before that is just called DOS, despite the fact that they're all technically personal computers.
*shrug* Technicalities.
