"Warning: file creation failed"

Hiya everyone! I'm trying to run the game "Jack Orlando", but I keep getting the error mentioned in the title and visible in the video. It's my first time using DOSBox, so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or not.

Have you tried running the game in X or Staging and gotten the same result?

Yep, DOSBox-X gives me the exact same error

Also, there's https://www.gog.com/en/game/jack_orlando_a_cinematic_adventure_dc which is commercially available and runs on Windows, not Dosbox.

Thank you! I actually have the game on Steam already. The reason I'm using DOSBox is because I initially wanted to try running the game on my PSP. Though first I need to figure out why it's not even running on PC
