It installed to what it thought was "C:\EDEN" but since my fake C: drive was really another folder the actual installation went into c:\dosgames\eden)
#Dosbox mount cd rom install#
I used Dosbox to install the game to c:\dosgames\eden (I mounted my c:\dosgames folder as drive C:, and then I mounted the CD as drive D: and told it to run the installation exe. I've just done this recently with an old game that I was trying to get working and I found it easier copying the files onto the hard drive instead of having Dosbox rely on the CD drive.Īlso, Dosbox has a small file size and I'm lazy, so I just copy a new Dosbox for every game and then put a custom configuration file so that it auto-starts the game when I click the dosbox.exe fileįor example, the game I just installed is called Lost Eden. For example: Z:> mount d /media/disk -t cdrom For information on using special keys and features in dosbox, refer to the dosbox README file. 249 Save 46K views 10 years ago In this short video, I demonstrate how you can play any old MS DOS CD-ROM game. Then you can mount the folder as drive D: the same way you can access any other file on the PC With any recent DOSBox-X you can access a CD-ROM image directly if you use IMGMOUNT to mount it before booting a guest OS like Windows 95. You could try copying all of the files on the CD onto your hard drive. Tested it on Dosbox 0.74 on Ubuntu 12.04. If the game is old enough that you need Dosbox to run it, then it probably doesn't have any CD-check on it. 1 Answer Sorted by: 4 Check that you really have the CD/DVD mounted on that location, as usually the CD label is used instead, then run: mount d /media/LABEL -t cdrom -label LABEL -ioctl -usecd 0 Just replace LABEL with whatever you have.
