Please download and install VirtualBox version 6.0: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds_6_0
DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE LATEST VERSION called 6.1, it does not work anymore...
Download the ZIP archive with the two files denms.vbox and denms.vmdk from this link to use with VirtualBox. (you must keep these two files in the same folder in order for it to work)
Double click on the denms.vbox file or open VirtualBox and add the downloaded denms.vbox file
Ignore any errors along the way and you should eventually see this screen: Double click the denMS icon above to run the game. This is what you will see at first, it is the auto-updater: WARNING: If this command prompt / terminal window is closed before it finishes (it will launch the game automatically when it is done) or if it is launched twice in succession, it will break the game.
So do not accidentally open the denMS icon twice or close anything until the game has started.
To make the game full-screen and look clearer within the VM press Alt-Enter while the game is open. To exit the VirtualBox you must shut it down properly:
///////////////
This has not been tested to work under any software other than VirtualBox version 6.0.8 & 6.0.16 & 6.0.24
///////////////
Noticed a weird bug on Nvidia Optimus laptop computers (those with both intel and nvidia graphics). denMS runs very slowly with laggy graphics if VirtualBox is running using the Nvidia graphics card on an Optimus laptop system.
***The fix is to close VirtualBox completely and reopen it this time running it using Integrated Graphics.
