    I've heard of people trying to do it.

    I was trying it on my Win/64 and it says basicly it can't do it, but I have it running on a VM with Win/32.

    I recently experimented with it and even with ntvdmx64, it refused to launch 16 bit doors :/

    However, you can use Synchronet to do basically the same function, and it works very well on Win/64!

    the copy i have launches bbs dosbox but it's not configured correctly and only shows locally. not a big deal. also like i said it needs the fossil.

    i just think gameserv is misconfigured for these doorgames.

    okay...... so did you install dosbox.
    and why do you even want to run gameserv?
    you should use something more robust.

    I already had dosbox installed. Gameserv doesn't try an use/run dosbox. Do you know of a setup to do that?

    just dont use gameserv. maybe you have the wrong version of dosbox.
    run a real bbs software and setup games.

    I have a fully running Synchronet, MysticBBS, PCBoard, Proboard systems all telnetable. I enjoy trying to make them all work and tailor them to what I like. Just a hobby.

    Maybe Net2BBS/TelnetDoor is what you are needing. I use it as a frontend for my various BBS systems.

    I use Net2BBS for my Proboard, RA, and PCBoard systems. My Gameserv works just fine in a VM running Win 10/32. I just wanted to see if it would work under Win/64 also. I use it to run BBSLink for my MajorBBS system.

    well you should contact the author and ask him why it's not launching your dosbox. also you need a dosbox with the correct patches and the correct game settings.

    I had dosbox ver .74 installed, I uninstalled it and installed .73, which is the ver dosbox says is missing. Once that wass installed it worked fine. I no longer need to use the VM, everytging runs under Win 11/64

    Gameserv was looking for dosbox ver .73. I removed .74 and installed ver .73, and all works perfect now on my Win 11/64 bit system.
