I have my original JA:DG running in dosbox fine. Here are the steps what I did:

- Mount CD drive in dosbox (see dosbox.conf) and install the game from dosbox to a folder like C:\DG_INSTALL
- Copy the the whole content from JA:DG CD to a folder e.g: C:\DG
- Copy the content from the folder C:\DG_INSTALL into c:\DG (overwrite any existing files)

- Edit your dosbox.config file with notepad
INFO: Put the following lines under the [autoexec] section the the dosbox.conf file and then save the file.

# Mount your physical drive C: in dosbox to C
mount c C:\
# Mount your JA2:DG folder in dosbox
mount D C:\DG
# Go to the C folder
C:\
# Go the the C:\DG folder
cd DG


- Edit the file CD.ROM in your C:\DG directory with notepad and put the letter D there. This is the mounted drive of your DG folder.

After you started dosbox type "dg.exe" and game should start fine. You do not need to have the JA:DG CD in your CD drive to play the game
