Installing Tailchaser Provided by Developer

The developer very kindly provided a free version of Tailchaser on his site. The problem is that to get it working in Dosbox, you have to mind a couple of details.

  1. Visit http://markus.muck.free.fr/tailchas.html.
  2. Download "Tailchaser.part1.rar" and "Tailchaser.part2.rar".
  3. Extract both in the same directory. Part 2 has a corrupt ALL1-14.DTA and will show up as a 0 byte file. Fortunately Part 1 has the same file, so check the file size.
  4. Create a CD image but make sure the allowed characters include DOS characters. Otherwise all the "-" in the filenames will be replaced with "_". Included are screenshots for ImgBurn:





  5. Mount the CD image in Dosbox and run from disc. (the installer doesn't work) i.e.:
                imgmount d -t iso "C:\iso\TAILCHASER-DEV.iso"
                d:
                TAIL.EXE
