Running DOS game after downloading it from Steam

[Johnny Novgorod]

Downloaded a DOS game from Steam, came with DosBox launcher, trying to run and mount but nothing seems to work. I've followed every walkthrough I can find.

If I just run it from the Steam library I get the game's audio over a black screen. How the he'll do you do this?

Well, dosbox should be autoconfigured to work but sometimes its wonkey. I would look up the game on gog to see what people there are saying about it. What game was this anyway?

Megarace 1.
Dosbox opens when I try run the game but won't let me type in anything.
If I try running Dosbox separately, it doesn't let me mount C:\.

Dosbox should just be pointed at the game executable and run it from there. You can download doxbox by itself and configure it to run. Or you could try just refunding the steam one and buying it on gog which is also having a sale on the megarace 1 & 2 pack, the configuration they use might work better for you. Gog seems like they have better compatibility testing with old games like this.

This guy also goes over getting it setup.

Thanks, I just refunded the Steam copy and got Megarace 1 + 2 from GOG for $0.36. Downloaded them, work like a charm, no messing around DOS emulators.
