MechWarrior 2: Resource Forum

Don't mean to necro this thread, but I just figured out how to remap controls using DosBox's built-in keymapper. Kind of wish I saw Ademan's post before I did, though, since that seems so much simpler, wouldn't mess up the keyboard for in-game typing (like when entering player names) and would actua...

Unfortunately, Ghost Bear's Legacy is not showing up in MechVM for me.

When I try to set a path DOSBox tells me that it's undefined. If I manually navigate to the .bat file and run it, I get an "illegal command: mercs.exe" message, presumably because it can't find the executable, even though I edited the .bat's contents to point to that file. I've tried putti...
