Hello Jim, I believe I saw your name as one of the creators of this neat invention. Seems great but I spent the last 2 days setting in with the virtual box and watching your channel's you tube video and it is set up but I hit a brick wall. I don't see anywhere on your page for help either! I even went on facebook and thought I posted for help and it seemed to have gotten deleted. Very difficult to get help here. I have a CD of games from Interplay and when I launch it in virtualbox/freedos it loads the menu briefly then stops and goes to a black screen. That's one problem. The other is HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU SET UP SHARED FOLDERS?????? I watched a YT video on it and followed the steps but when I type dir it still doesn't show my folder c:/dosgames. This seems so difficult. I am not tempted to download Dosbox and see how that goes. I don't know what I am doing wrong. Any tips?
