Now Lets Extract the Abuse Game Free Download:

First: Right click on the Abuse game file you downloaded to your hard drive and click on "Extract All".


Then: Click the "Next" button when the extractor launches. You will be asked where you would like to extract the game Abuse, select "C:\Games\Abuse". After you've chosen this directory on your hard drive click "Next" again and the Abuse game files will begin to extract.



Now Lets Install Abuse:

First: Double click on the Dosbox program file in the "C:\Games\Abuse" directory and Dosbox will launch. After Dosbox launches type "setup" and press enter. You should now be launched into the Abuse installation program.


Next: You will now see a screen titled "Abuse Soundcard Configuration". Here you will be able to apply the settings needed to enable sound on your machine. On the upper right hand portion of the screen is a button labeled "Auto Detect", select it and press enter.


Next: You will see a warning message regarding users with SCSI hard drives. Ignore this warning by selecting the "Detect" button then press enter. You will then be asked if you would like to "Proceed with the Auto Detection Sequence", select "Ok" and press enter.


Now: With the auto detection process complete select the "OK" button on the bottom and press enter. You should now be returned to the main installation menu. This time go to the "Select Digital" button and press enter.


Next: You will see a list of sound cards under the title "Digital Device". Scroll down to "Sound Blaster Awe 32" and press enter. On the right select the following settings (shown in the picture) and then "OK" when you're done.

Port: 220
DMA: 1
IRQ: 7


Now: You should be returned to the main screen. Scroll down to "ok" and press enter. You will be prompted with the message "Save system configuration information?", select "ok" and then press enter. This will save your new settings and exit the install program.


Finally: Back at the "C:" prompt in Dosbox type "exit" and press enter, this will close Dosbox.


Now: We are going to head back to the dosbox config file to add another line of code. Again its in the [autoexec] section, this time below the commands we have already added. The command is "abuse". It should look like this.

[autoexec]
mount c c:\games\abuse
c:
cd abuse
abuse

Save and exit the config file when you are finished.
