Subject: Re: How-to use M.A.X. with modern OS
Install MAX via included dosbox
  • Grab your CD-data and copy it to an short as possible path, like D:\max (⇒ you have to type less in dosbox — remember this is an 8.3-limitation)
  • Run the dosbox + install MAX {use C:\MAX for an attached config you can use later…)(install pictures)
  • Wait until the installation is finished
  • The setup should be self-explanatory, simply follow the given prompts.
  • You can now close the dosbox if the videos starting or grab Coffee
Information As default the d-fend sub-directory 'VirtualHD' is mounted as C:\ in the d-fend dosbox

Okay, so by now we have:
  • Installed d-fend
  • Setup dosbox
  • Installed MAX 1.01

We must now:
  • Patch from MAX 1.01 to 1.04
  • Take note: you need the right patch for your installed language or else you'll get an error message ingame.

Copy the patch data into the installed MAX directory (image b))

Windows You can run the patch.bat in explorer.
:others-non-bat-supported-OS: Run dosbox from d-fend. Change the directory to your installed MAX folder and run the patch.bat

Hurra The hard part is now done. High five.
