Hi all,

Maybe someone can help me with this?

I have mounted the three iso images as D: and I am now at the point where the game tells me "Please insert CD #2 and then hit ENTER".
I can switch the images (as the dosbox status window tells me I made disk 2 of 3 active), but when I press ENTER nothing happens...

Anyone?

It's been awhile since I've dealt with this, but I recall that you have to run a command in dosbox to have it recognize the mounted iso files as drives. When I was doing this before I would mount all the disk images and then map all of them in dosbox to drives before starting the game and then just select the appropriate drive. I was using some kind of dosbox gui for that so I could save the game configurations and not do it each time.

Thanks for the quick reply!
A question though. Do you mean you started the game from one of these mapped drives?

It depends on the configuration, but yeah if the game can run direct from disc you could do it that way. The command to map the drives in dosbox is "mount". You can find info about it here: https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/MOUNT

But like a said before, it may be easier to use a dosbox frontend that allows you to save configs for games. I think the one I used before was D-Fend.

Thanks, I will try that.

Have a nice day!
