I don’t get part 4 of the instructions. Everything else if fine but when it comes to “Or just type “sc2000″ to run the game”, it’s doesn’t work.

Once in dosbox I receive the following message:

“The video card you have selected is not found. Please re-install and verify that your video card is supported”

I have an AMD Radeon HD 6310 Graphics card on a windows 7 (64 bit) laptop. Any thoughts?

Very nice. I got it working on Intel Mac with OS X 10.5.8.

1) Downloaded Dosbox
2) Downloaded Simcity zip file, extracted and copied it under User directory where Documents, Downloads and other user folders are with the name SC2000 (any name with easy access is ok)
3) Ran Dosbox, used commands:
a) “mount c ~/SC2000″ (to mount the Simcity folder to drive C)
b) “C:” (to switch to drive C)
c) “sc2000.exe” (to run the game)

4) (optional) added above commands to Dosbox autoexecution section at the end of preferences file at ~/user/Library/Preferences/DOSBox (version) Preferences. Last: made a shortcut / alias of the dosbox execution file to run the game from desktop.

says I cant mount because it does not exists, I put it all in the SC2000 folder. Macs change all the time, my 2010 Macbook pro running os 10.5.8 does no have a directory folder, above the documents folder is the applications folder which is where my diablo II folder is, but DOSbox is still not opening up the SC2000 folder.

This is not working for me, mac dont use a “c” drive labeling system like windows has D drive and C drive. When you download a game to mac it goes in the applications folder. All I want to do is play sim city 2000 and 3000 on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.5.8 Everywhere I go online I download the emulated game and it comes are garbled, probably because its a windows download and not a mac download. DOSbox is running fine on my mac but all the sim city games are for windows. I have not played this game in years because new systems for whatever BULLSHIT reason cant run them and now with OS X I dont have the OS Classic anymore. Someone please help, I just want to play these games.

I downloaded simcity on my windows xp with the disc, and then a windows vista with the website. They work the same, maybe the vista version even better! Thanks!
