Tom,

I don't use Dosbox, or the older programs, and perhaps others who do can give better advice.

But if you can actually load Val4 in Dosbox 64 bit, just can't find any cards, try this:

Presuming you have Val4 installed in a folder named VAL4 on your C Drive (i.e. c:\val4) - make a sub-folder on that VAL4 folder and name it trkmast (i.e. it will appear as c:\val4\trkmast). Place TrackMaster files you want to load in Val4 (i.e. when you are running it inside Dosbox) in that new trkmast folder in your VAL4 folder - NOT in your normal trkmast folder which is within your C Drive (i.e. c:\trkmast).

The reason for this (at least from my recollections, not current tests) is that when you 'mount' your c:\VAL4 folder in Dosbox is looks like a Drive (i.e. C: ) so since Val4 insists on finding TrackMaster files in a hard-wired folder named c:\trkmast, the folder known OUTSIDE Dosbox as c:\val4\trkmast will appear INSIDE Dosbox as simply c:\trkmast. And then Val4 will be able to find card files if you put some there, or if you choose that location as an export destination for Val4 files from RDSS.

Hope it helps!
