Hi Everyone! I can't figure this out. I am trying to add the game Life and Death to my GOG Galaxy account so I can see it in my list of games like all the others. I wish I could buy it on GOG, but it's not possible, so I downloaded it from an abandonware website (I can't find anywhere to actually purchase a digital copy). I followed a lot of forums and copied the dosbox config file into the life and death directory. Then, I made a batch file that looks like this:

@ECHO OFF
CLS
CD ..
START "Life and Death" /D"C:\Program Files (x86)\DOSBox-0.74-3\" "DOSBox.exe" "D:\Program Files\Abandonware\life and death\LND.exe" -exit -conf "D:\Program Files\Abandonware\life and death\DOSBox 0.74-3 Options.conf" -noconsole
EXIT

When running the game, it asks for permission, so I made a shorcut which gives permission to run the program. Running the shortcut works with no problems. So, I then tried to move it to GOG Galaxy. I linked the file and everything seemed in order. But, when I run the program through GOG Galaxy, it goes to a black screen and quits. I have a strong feeling this has to do with permissions (the behavior was the same as before I made a shortcut that gave permissions), but I have no way to be sure. I tried lowering my UAC controls to full permission, but it didn't work, so maybe that's not the issue.

I read that GOG has trouble handling many games like this and it might just be a quirk of the game, so I did the same thing with Life and Death 2. Strange thing, this game showed the title screen, and then black screen and exited the program. I think it is when the program tries to write to disk (this is just before you choose your profile in the game). But, I can't find any way to make it work. The programs work fine outside of GOG.

Any help would be appreciated!
