![]() ![]() But to be honest it sounds to me rather like a patched game that already runs on Windows. No idea what libraries of DOS an installer may need that don't belong to the game. DOSBox emulates the environment of DOS but it's still not DOS. Not sure if that is the way it will work. What I also read now is that you want to run an installer. Godd news is that DOSBox supports this game. What I read in you latest posts is that one of your games is "Tex Murphy". So please give some background information beforehand. Remember how long it took to tease out that you wanted to run DOSBox and your game from a DVD drive and from the same drive but from different disks. The only source for informations that the volunteers in a forum have is you. Z:\>IMGMOUNT D ~/Documents/IMAGE.Before we start again I'd like you to keep in mind that we are unable to look at your desktop and we are also unable to know what your fingers are doing on your keyboard, that we don't know what hardware and Windows version you use, that we don't know what games you're talking about, etc. The quotes around pathname can be omitted if CD name has no special characters. Mac OSX Z:\>MOUNT C ~/DOSGAMES Z:\>MOUNT D "/Volumes/Panzer General" -t cdrom The disc label in this example is "DOOM2_V17A". For example, a DOOM II disc shows up as /media/DOOM2_V17A. If you insert a disc in the CD ROM or DVD ROM drive and mount it on your Linux system, or have it set up to auto-mount when the disc is inserted, then use Nautilus to browse to the /media directory, you will see the label of the CD as a folder therein. Note that the Linux path is absolute and case-sensitive. Z:\>MOUNT D /media/CD_LABEL/ -t cdrom -usecd 0 -ioctl Z:\>IMGMOUNT E ~/IMAGES/MYIMAGE.ISO -T ISO Use this command instead, replacing values as appropriate for your system: Open the CD-ROM in Nautilus (or your preferred file manager) to determine its label. This is because CD-ROMs are mounted based on their label and do not share a common mount point. Users of the current version of Ubuntu (9.10 Karmic Koala) may notice that the above command doesn't work. Linux Z:\>MOUNT C ~/DOSGAMES Z:\>MOUNT D /MEDIA/CDROM/ -T CDROM When mounting multiple images (useful for any application which requires discs to be swapped while it is running), you can then switch between the mounted disk-images by pressing Ctrl F4 (by default) while your application is running. Mounting multiple images (ISO or CUE/BIN) Z:\>IMGMOUNT E C:\Images\MyImage1.iso C:\Images\MyImage2.iso -t iso It is also possible to use a cuescheet in combination with an ISO and compressed audio tracks in OGG or MP3 format. conf This will open the dosbox configuration file. How do I automatically mount a drive in DOSBox Type sudo gedit dosbox. For example, the command mount C D: -t cdrom takes the CD drive available at D: in Windows and mounts it at C: inside DOSBox. The BIN-file has to be in the same folder as the CUE-file. How do I mount in DOSBox Add the -t cdrom option to mount a program on a CD. Z:\>IMGMOUNT E C:\Images\MyImage.cue -t iso Since ISO can only contain pure data, the image has to be in the CUE/BIN format. If the game plays additional music tracks from the cd ( mixed mode), you can still mount it as an image file. Mounting an ISO-File as volume Z:\>IMGMOUNT E C:\Images\MyImage.iso -t iso Mounting a CUE/BIN-Pair as volume Z:\>MOUNT D D:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0 -ioctl -label GAME_CD ioctl = Lowest level of hardware access (Win 2K, XP and Linux).follows the -usecd command label = Set the volume name of the drive (all caps) ![]() cd = Generate a list of local CD ROM drive's "drive #" values usecd For direct hardware emulation ie: audio playback, etc. Mounting a specific folder from your hard drive Z:\>MOUNT C C:\DOSGAMES Mounting a specific folder and setting the amount of free space for a drive Z:\>MOUNT C C:\DOSGAMES -freesize 1024 Mounting a floppy drive Z:\>MOUNT A A:\ -t floppy Mounting a CD ROM drive Z:\>MOUNT D D:\ -t cdrom Extra CD ROM options -t Define how the mounted folder should behave to the emulated operating system.
