    I am having auto run issues. I have read all the other forums and the readme...but cannot get it to work.

    Is there a way to get it to load to just the dosbox interface?

    this is my code:
    <input type="hidden" id="autorun" value="mariott.zip -t zip !c:!cd mariott!MARIOTT.EXE">

    I get the error: "Illegal input: MARIOTT.EXE"

    the zip is placed in the same folder as the jsdosbox.html file

    Hi,
    The command you used looks correct.
    Does the program load when you use the jsdosbox GUI?
    Try it both with the zip (read only) and zip options.

    If that also fails then you can try copying the program to the root directory of the zip file. The zip backed filesystems both have bugs. If you can create a RAW diskimage and use that then compatibility may be better. qemu includes tools to create raw disks. Then use dosbox to mount and copy the files to the disk image.

      error had the file paths inside the zip wrong.

      Random question: how would you load an ISO?

    Loading an ISO is not supported. Back when i initially worked on this in 2011, browsers didn't handle binary data well at all. The idea of loading a 650MB into memory sounded crazy back then. I havent updated this project in a few years.
