Hey does this work for the full version too ? Please let me know.
Thanks in advance
Is the copy you have on a CD-ROM? The process will be different because you will have to mount the CD-ROM drive in Dosbox and make other changes to the config file. I have a guide that you might find helpful with this as I unfortunately don't have a copy of my own to see what the exact process and commands would be.

Dear Glenn, I also bought the game but can't get it to work - it's far to complicated for me - even after checking your other guide about how to mount cd's. I dont get much further then mount d d:\ -trom.
Would you be able to help me if I posted a link to the ISO file or mail it to you? It's rather big (556 MB) though.
Nevermind, after a friend explained me that I had to copy my cd to the drally folder I successfully installed it.
I'm glad you got it working enjoy the game!
Best,
Glenn
Help! i don't have the CONFIG file for dosbox!
Hi, the new version of Dosbox just released and changes came with regard to how the config file is accessed unfortunately. I am going to update all the guides on the site with this issue but in the meantime here is a guide with a solution for this.

G'day Glenn you legend!
I have death rally on CD and i have dosbox 0.72
After reading these other FAQs I figure that for death rally full version to work when i have a cd is i mount the CDROM while DOSBOX is running? I also should copy all files from the cd to the Drally directory on my hard drive.
Is this correct? As you can tell i am a little confused
cheers :)
that last guy^ is a freakin idiot. cant understand what he's saying sentence construction where is it?
u blooody legend glenn
Ya you could either mount the CD-Rom as a CD drive or do it from a directory where all the files from the CD are stored. Either one should work.
Best,
Glenn
