You'll have to edit 1stly the djsetup.bat to point the enviroment varible to

the right place, and set the paths correctly. Then I found that there are a
load
of bat files in PSX\bin that have the path hardcoded in the, so you'll have
to
find and change those as well.
Your problem is definately to do with the paths not being set up correctly,
and to download a game, i believe you have to run siocons from the directory

of the games batch file. You see the batch file (auto) contains file
references
in it that are local, & thats why you cant download when you run it from
another
directory.

cheers
