Glenn,
The instructions are simple and I followed them but get the following error when I try to click on the application:
c:/martian...\mars\mm.exe this system does not support full screen mode. Choose "close" to terminate the application. I chose "ignore" and got this:
The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction CS:c000 IP:ec 79 OF: ff ff ff ff ff choose close.
Hi, I just updated the guide and added Dosbox emulation, I hope this helps.
Best,
Glenn
