Finally, my computer works well, so i can return to my old works!
I started yesterday with my customized dos. It has a nice starting screen, made using only CLS, wait and echo in the Autoexec.bat.
I also set the path for the commands i added, that are inside the folder CMDS.
Now there are 3 things i'm not able to do, i hope u can help. (i moved the third into another thread)
1st: i wanted to make a starting menu, putting "call" in autoexec.bat, referred to the file "mymenu.bat".
Btw, i wanted to use some multiple choice screens, but apparently, they works correctly with Window's CMD, but FreeDOS doesn't recognise the "choice" command...
I post here the script used:
@ECHO OFF :MENU CLS echo /******************\ echo !! Choose an action !!_________ echo \******************/ I echo I I echo I 1. Open command prompt I echo I 2. Games I echo I 3. View basic strings list I echo I_____________________________I choice /c 123 if errorlevel 3 goto Selection2 if errorlevel 2 goto Selextion1 if errorlevel 1 goto Quit :Selection1 CLS echo /******************\ echo !! Choose a game !!_________ echo \******************/ I echo I I echo I 1. PacPC I echo I 2. MSPac I echo I 3. Tom and Jerry I echo I I echo I 4. return to previous menu I echo I_____________________________I choice /c 1234 if errorlevel 4 goto MENU if errorlevel 3 goto SelectionG3 if errorlevel 2 goto SelectionG2 if errorlevel 1 goto SelectionG1 :Selection2 C:\CMDS\edit C:\MyInfo.txt goto main :Quit CLS echo Command prompt ready for use... pause :SelectionG1 C:\games\pac_pc2\pacpc2 goto Selection1 :SelectionG2 C:\games\pac_pc\mspac goto Selection1 :SelectionG3 C:\games\tomjerry\tomjerry goto Selection1
What should i use instead of "choice"?
2nd: the audio drivers. I looked for some guides, but i still don't understand how to install audio drivers in my FreeDOS, in order to make work, for example, DOSAMP
I shoulk randomly look for the drivers in my motherboard's cd rom? And how to install them?
-------------------------------EDIT-------------------------------------
i discovered "choice" is not in FreeDOS, as well as color.
If there's any way to integrate theese MSDOS commands in FreeDOS the problem of the multiple choice menu is solved. Or i have to find an original copy of MS-DOS 6.22? It's very very hard to find...
