Subject: Re: How-to use M.A.X. with modern OSPrepare d-fend and dosboxChanging the language of d-fend after you have added a game can sometimes cause some trouble. If this has happened, remove the game config and add it again. Watch out! Read what you delete, as by default — the game directory (and icon) is selected too! You should know:
d-fend is just a GUI for dosbox, but it is easy to configure …and for some other old-games [some OT thoughts] So let's begin:
Your 'VirtualHD'-directory (games normally included/installed in this directory):
If you have an old installed and patched copy of M.A.X. already, you may now directly jump to the Config below |

Okay, so by now we have:
We must now:
Copy the patch data into the installed MAX directory (image b)) 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 The hard part is now done. High five. |

Subject: Re: How-to use M.A.X. with modern OSConfiguration for MAXAlright, here's the easy part.Use the attached maxrun-prof.zip Unzip it and drag 'n' drop it into D-Fend Or, *File* *Import* *Import prof file…* and select maxrun.prof Furthermore, I installed M.A.X in ».\VirtualHD\MAX\« if you've installed M.A.X in another directory, open the maxrun.prof with a text-editor (no word or open office) search the ».\VirtualHD\MAX\« and replace it with ».\VirtualHD\ <your\new\paths to\MAX\> « then save the file and follow the step above. Run the setup to check your sound settings! Otherwise (don't know why ever this should be needed) follow the image attached. |

Subject: Re: How-to use M.A.X. with modern OS That's great! Where should I put it? I can simply move it to the MAX forum and PIN it on top. Or I can reformat this as an article. Thing is we dropped the old MAX navigation part entirly to save some space there. So I have no idea where to file this article in the navigation tree. I'm open for suggestions of course. |

Subject: Re: How-to use M.A.X. with modern OS Hi it's me again… and here is the Solution for all OS For those who don't have a Windows PC or won't use Dfend, here is an alternative solution: Attached to this post you'll find a dosbox-conf file for dosbox version 0.74. All needed links are in the How-To above… Here's how it works:
Start dosbox like this: path to dosbox executable -conf location+name (to the config file you can download below) E.q. "D:\games with dosbox\dosbox.exe" -conf "C:\users\dosbox-0.74_maxrun.conf" dosbox -conf ~/.dosbox/dosbox-0.74_maxrun.conf |
