How Do You Install Carmageddon From A Flash Drive Using DOSBox?

Post by IronMonkey914 »

Does anyone know how to do this? I can't find any tutorials on installing Carmageddon from a flash drive using DOSBox. I don't have Carmageddon on a CD, by the way.

If i resume (from your other thread), you don't have the steam or the good old game version ... and you don't have the original game on CD ... so do you ask support for an illegal copy ?

You must know that Stainless is an indie studio, all copyright infringement do damage to the studio and our interest as gamers, because less ressources egual less budget they can invest in the new games.

If i misunderstand, i apology.

Yeaaah, the way you just had the original vanilla version then all of a sudden conveniently had the max pack (on a flash drive) is pretty much proof that you pirated the game, i'm not helping you anymore.

I had the Max Pack when I posted that thread. I was asking for help on the normal Carmageddon so I could get that to work first. Just because I didn't mention the Max Pack on my previous thread doesn't mean I pirated the game.

If you have an original copy at home, then just search for the MELD PACK v1.3.4, download and extract it then play.

i think the original carmageddon needs to be installed first though dosbox, look up dosbox install cd-rom though google and you can or should be able to install though dosbox using that method.

Once you have done that insert the splatpack disk and install via the disk, if that doesnt work, then i suggest buying the one from gog.com yea :)

Listen guy, The Max pack was the package of Carmageddon 1 and the splat pack ... so in fact if you look at here : http://wiki.carmageddomn.com/wiki/Carmageddon_Max_Pack if you got a legal copy of the max pack (the original), you got the splat pack on a CD ...

But you said yourself that you don't have the splat pack on a CD ... so it's easy to say that you don't own a legal copy ...

Help yourself and buy a legal copy on steam or gog (really cheap price), doing that you will support the studio and the community ...

So give explanations ... because there is only three ways to have those files legally : the original CD, the steam version or the gog version ...

If you are a real fan, you will support the studio by spending few bucks for the gog/steam version.

At this point in technology, it's not even about being a "loyal fan". It's that the gog and steam versions are the only ones that just "work" without having to do extensive setup every time you want to boot the game, and those versions have a better resolution and framerate than DOS can provide. This dude is just being stubborn, yet he doesnt want to learn the basics of how DOS works. Well, too bad, C1 is a DOS game, you cant get around that, if you dont want to learn and you dont want to pay for a version that works, well, my friend, i'm afraid C1 just isnt for you.

Here's a list of DOSBOX commands: https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Commands

The Meld Pack, as its name implies, merges both C1 and SP together. So it's already there.

BTW, best version is GOG's as it's still updated now and then. Steam one doesn't work out of the box on Win10 anymore (must remove/update winmm.dll).

However, QTZ made a great patch for the Steam/GOG releases (uMaxPack95RPP, bottom of the page here).

Wow, that's impressive how the community continue to support C1.

Is there a patch for C2 too ? (i see that for running on 10 we must update wimm.dll too but the game crash when exit)

C1 support has been increasing over the years, yes. Crash upon exiting C2 can't be fixed, cause is unknown and it has zero effect on the gameplay so it's low priority. For C2 you'll want the Superpatch V3, it updates all versions to GOG's release (plus a couple more tidbits). If you have the Steam release, updating winmm.dll is also enough.

Carmageddon 2 does have a patch. You can get it on moddb from here.
