Trying to install daggerfall using dosbox pure from retroarch.
Not really sure what I’m doing but I got to the install and it says I don’t have a hard drive.

Ai told me to compress the whole thing into a zip and run it. Tried that and it acts as if I have a drive but crashes when actually go to install. Something about it won’t let it write on a zip file.
Now it’s saying to throw everything into the same folder and make sure fall.exe and arena folder are together. I’m trying to make that happen now.

After hours of tinkering I finally got it to run. I shoveled out the coins for idos3 and to my surprise with literal hours of experience gained in over a few days of digging I got it. Making my character now. Ps turn down the refresh rate on idos3 I about cooked my iPhone 17 on 100% 😂

/u/Ashamed_Extension_70, Daggerfall Unity is a Daggerfall source port that runs the game without Dosbox at all:

TES: Arena has OpenTESArena. However:
Important: The OpenTESArena source port is still in-development and not feature complete yet. I mention OpenTESArena because once it is feature complete, this will be the non-DOS way to run TES Arena.
