I Have had a good serch but i may have mist some thing.

I am running a game in dosbox ok no problems.

Thing is as hard drives are getting bigger i am copying my favorate old DOS game CD's on to one HD, each CD in a Folder.

This works fine for most games, all i do is create a BAT file in the root dir for each game with a comad to mount the relavant folder as a CDROM Drive (mount D "path of reavant folder" -t cdrom)

Unfortunatly I have a broblem with some games and I need help.

Some games require the CD changing half way through the Game.

Is there a way that a HOT key can be set to unmout the existing cdrom and mount a new one.

i.e. emulate fisicaly changing a CD.

Use some utility to generate ISO, BIN+CUE images from CD and mount them using DAEMON TOOLS or something. After mounting a new one, use CTRL-F4 under DOSBox.

Are you guys sure this is possible? I couldn't find anything about mounting multiple images using IMGMOUNT. Would be very usefull for multiple CD games though, such as The 7th Guest and the like...

The trouble I have is I need to be able to do it while the game is running.
Can't enter comands while the game is runnig.

Ctrl-F4 only updates changes made to the data altered outside the DOSbox

I was hoping there was some way of fixing a comand to a HOTkey
Somthing like this:

mount -u d:
mount d H:\DW2CD1 -t cdrom -label DW2_CD1

according to the readme imgmount can't do that (mounting several images), only boot, so daemon tools are the only way to go.
