I am running SQ6 in DOSBOX and the game keeps crashing at Stellar's Funeral after I try to read my Eulogy. I am immediately kicked out of the game and it states "Could not open Robot resource 410." I have read some of the help on other forums that tells me I need to edit my resource.cfg to enter a line that says "robot = [where 410.rbt is located]" but I have done that to no avail.

Any help would be great. Is there a special way I need to put the "robot =" language into the resource .cfg. Does it matter what line it's on? Do I need to restart my computer or start the game from another point after editing the .cfg file? I'm puzzled at this point. Any help would be much obliged.

I'm not sure as this is one error I've never run into before. If you haven't already after editing the CFG file make sure the save game is not on the screen that was getting the error, in other word try a save from an earlier point.

Also could you post the "robot=" line you added, it may be you are trying to use an absolute path when you need to use a relative path due to the way DOSBox works.

Thanks for the reply! I have tried to restore from a previous point in the game but it still shuts down at the same point.

This is what my Resource.CFG looks like (I also tried with the robot = command at the bottom of the text but it still doesn't work):

robot = C:\USERS\DAN\DESKTOP\SQ6\SQ6\ROBOTS\
videoDrv = VESA.DRV
soundDrv = ADL.DRV
audioDrv = DACBLAST.DRV
joyDrv = NO
cmd = SQ6DOS
mouseDrv = NONE
memoryDrv = NONE
minMemory = 1600k
brightness = 0
language = 1
minCPU = 386
CD = yes

Thank you!

OK we are getting close. I don't have the GOG version but I do have the last collector edition from Activision that uses DOSBox. Try this for the robot line:

robot=.\ROBOTS

Let me know if it works with that line, if not we can try something else.

That worked! Thank you so much. I appreciate the help.
