I have another hurdle. The dosbox drive c has a capacity of 256mb so if I change files around I get disk full errors. My idea is to copy a install structure to drive "E" mounted with the -freesize 1024 option and use drive E as an install directory to drive "C".
But I can not find a solution":
- Can not just mount an "E" anywhere and i can not access the "/userdata/roms/dos/"game name" which is mounted internal with Dosbox Pure libretto.
- Can not just mount -u the "C" drive and remount it with the freesize 1024 option because I can not set the "game name" in a bat file.
I think Dosbox Pure should have the option to change the freesize value before starting or set the default to 1024. That is usually enough for a cd files of 650mb to 700mb plus some install files.
Tried xxcopy16 and says disk full. Also icopy says insufficient disk space after 256mb copying.
Copied the largest 300mb file with dos command copy to the c drive and it worked.
Also tested xcopy but is the same.
Tested Dircomp with x: c:\hdd /s /create /clone. Final rapport says that all files copied with no errors. Only the 300mb file was skipped.
Found a temporary solution by storing the game files with pkzip. Luckely pkzip has also an move function and a exclude function. After this extracting the game files back with pkunzip to the c drive in a different directory. Pkzip did not look at the 256mb size limit of the c drive.
