Hello and question (disk 3 error help: solved)
Hi all, new to the board and I love these old gold box games. Anyhow, I have the 'ol "insert disk #3" issue when I try to start up PoR during character creation. I've tried to alter the pool.cfg file to read
c:/POOLRAD/
c:/POOLRAD/SAVE
This isn't working though. Once I get it up and running, then I'll prolly have to bug yall about how to get Moslo to work :/
Thanks for any help at all!

Re: Hello and question
Alright, thx for the walkthrough! I'm trying to figureout exatcly how to unzip the game files into the right place, but I'll keep sorking on it. D-Fend looks a bit more user friendly then a blank DOS window lol.

Re: Hello and question
I always unzip the folder directly onto the C drive. The path to PoR on my machine is....
C:/POOLRAD

Seems you have 1 folder too many. There should only be 1 folder called POOLRAD. Try eliminating the xtra folder so that the program is located in 1 folder called POOLRAD which is located on the C drive. After eliminating the xtra folder on your C drive then go into D-Fend Reloaded and have the .exe file access set to..
C:/POOLRAD/START.EXE

Re: Hello and question
also you mentioned in your first post that you changed something in the Pool config file. maybe that might have something to do with it. I looked into what my POOL.CFG file contains and this is the way my POOL.CFG file looks like...

P
C:\POOLRAD\
C:\POOLRAD\

Re: Hello and question
WOOT got it!! Thx for all the help. I tried playing Poolrad a few weeks ago on my old Commodore 128 and got about 75% of the way through the slums and the damn thing stopped working Juggling 5 disks is no fun either hehe.
