@rob: thank you for the hint. we felt like experimenting a bit, as long as our limited tech-skills allowed :) i came to think of an alternative to emulation - dos livecd!? and indeed, with freedos 1.3 rc3 there exists a candidate. the good news, we could boot to r: (ramdisk) prompt, even 1 floppy …

ok, i see. it's a pity that it won't work with any of the programs, but it was worth a try. maybe dosbox will support this function one day 😉 thanks again for your help.

so, we finally had time to test pce emulator. following your guide, we could not manage to get cpbackup running though, unfortunately. pce seems to be ready to go ootb, even offering a preinstalled config file including 2 active floppy drives (autodetecting image files), which is invoked by simply …

thank you for replying. without reading the instructions of pce emulator so far, will the commands and steps to follow be similar to dosbox? also, should all .ima really be renamed to .img for this task as you stated? please bear with me, you can see, i am not very familiar with all of this ;) p.s.: …

i am trying to help a friend restoring old cpbackup7.1 floppy disks. first we copied the program from floppy to hdd (ancient computer with win7 + floppy drives). under dosbox 0.74 it is also executable. because winimage always crashed right after reading the backups, we finally transferred a 1disk- …

it does not even get that far. if multi-mounted, i need to startup in manual mode for the dosbox window to stay open. mscdex: failure: invalid file or unable to open. $ dragon.bat drive d does not exist! dragon.bat: @echo off REM *** DRAGON launcher V5.13 *** D: TALES GER SBP2227 HIM WRIC:\

surely i can share the savegame with you, but don't forget that dragon lore will not even boot while multi-mounting to d:. unfortunately, this is the only multi-disc game for testing right now.

@rob: i do own an earlier version, not v2.0. anyway, i did a full install, choose sb only, because of a bug with sb16. a dragon.bat is created in c:\dragon which runs fine (mounting one iso only), until i pick an old savegame of mine demanding for disc2. as this is a backup of my discs, i doubt the …

hi neville, hm, i played around with image settings, no luck so far. both images are mounted as d: and selecting combinations of cdrom, aspi, starting from disc 0,1 makes no difference at all? error, drive d: does not exist, needs to be mounted first?
Re: DOSBox Game Launcher (DOSBox Frontend)
Posted on 2020-03-26, 17:23
here is a quick question: how to mount games with multiple discs? selecting 2 cues at the same time is possible, but starting dragon lore from c: will not work then? mounting only one image as d: is fine though.

Either monitor that or I will eventually get back to you here thank you very much for the efforts taken :) if i understood @sergm correctly, munt has to be installed on the system as well for compiling the patched dosbox source? i might try this and tell you later on. btw, how would you achieve a …

compiling fails with this error: midi_mt32.h:7:10: schwerwiegender Fehler: mt32emu/mt32emu.h: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden 7 | #include | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kompilierung beendet. i guess some prerequisits are not met, wished i would have found a tutorial for beginners like me.
