With DOSBox installed there are still a few basic steps that need to be taken.

This guide assumes that you use DOSBox 0.74 and it is highly recommended to use this one if you have no prior experience with DOSBox. Also the steps for setting things up may differ among builds. Note that additional operating systems are available through custom builds around the web, many of which are not officially supported by the DOSBox community, however. It is not important where you install DOSBox.

The best place to get the current version of DOSBox (as of March 2015 version 0.74) is its official homepage:Ĭhoose the version for your operating system from the list, run the installer and follow the instructions. Note that this guide is specifically written for Windows 7 and later, but most of the steps will be very similar with any DOSBox version on any operating system. The upside is that if you've done this for Ecstatica, you will know how to do this for almost any other DOS game. Sadly setting up DOSBox for the first time involves a bit of work but each and every step will be covered below. Luckily a tool named DOSBox exists, which emulates an entire DOS environment and is able to run virtually any DOS application ever made. As an MS-DOS application, this version of Ecstatica cannot be run directly on any modern Windows version.
