Overview
So some of may have heard how to do this already but Bethesda has released the elder scrolls arena, Daggerfall, battlespire and redguard on the official Elder scrolls website, so assuming you havent heard of or seen any other guide on this I will teach you how I installed Daggerfall, the second game in the elder scrolls series and as a bonus i will teach you how to make a desktop and steam shortcut. WARNING: when you go to download the elder scrolls 2: daggerfall than please read the terms of agreement as you could accidently delete something important on your computer such as system 32 or other programs using dosbox. Bethesda, zenimax and me are not responsible for any damage done to your computer in the usage of dosbox.
downloading the things needed
you first need to go to [link] and click on games and then click on daggerfall.
you then click on download now and like I said in the description read the terms of agreement and then click acept if you may which will automatically start downloading daggerfall which comes in a zip file and once thats done make a new folder in your c-drive and call it something that is less than nine characters long (for example DAGGERF).go to [link], download and install the latest version. you need to then open the dosbox options.bat and set memsize to 32 if it isnt alright at that number, then just save and close the document.
installing the game itself
to install the game open dosbox and then a black dos prompt should open up. type in these commands exactly except whats in the *:
mount c c:*what you previously named your new folder* -freesize 1000
mount d c:*c-drive folder name*dfcd -t cdrom -Label Daggerfall
D:

once that is done than hit continue and agree to terms, hit install game to hard-drive, change install size to huge(to get all the content this game has to offer), click on change install path and then click on the C: icon and click intall the game.click yes to set up sound card,(this part uses the arrow keys and enter)click autodetect and then ok, go to select midi and select soundblaster 16(click test to har awesome retro music) click ok, ok, ok and ok again to get back to the dos pormopt. type:

y

making shortcuts
make a shortcut from dosbox and put it in the desktop or if you already have a desktop shortcut than that works too I guess. rename the dosbox shortcut to “The Elder scrolls II: Daggerfall” and then go into your dosbox folder and open dosbox.conf. under [autoexec] type the followind exactly except again whats inside the *:
mount c c:*your renamed folder* -freesize 1000
mount d c:*your renamed folder*dfcd -t cdrom -label Daggerfall
c:
cd dagger
dagger
After thats done than save and close.go into steam hit ADD A GAME, add a non steam game,browse,click on desktop then click on the daggerfall shortcut and click open, click on add selected programs and then your done. Daggerfall is now in your steam libary and on your desktop ready to be played from the two shortcuts.
Make sure to sking this song while starting a new game in daggerfall.
Now this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I’d like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air
In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin’ out maxin’ relaxin’ all cool
And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys who were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said, “You’re movin’ with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air.”
I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
I put my Walkman on and said, “I might as well kick it.”
First class, yo, this is bad
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass.
Is this what the people of Bel-Air living like?
Hmm, this might be alright.
But wait I hear they’re prissy, bourgeois, all that
Is this the type of place that they just send this cool cat?
I don’t think so
I’ll see when I get there
I hope they’re prepared for the prince of Bel-Air
Well, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out
I ain’t trying to get arrested yet
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said “Fresh” and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought, “Nah, forget it.”
– “Yo, home to Bel-Air.”
I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie, “Yo home smell ya later.”
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel-Air
