You were sooooo close, but there is no cigar for you 😀

It is -t, not -type.

Seems like DOSBox silently ignores the unknown -type option. It really should give an error IMNSHO.

oops. 😊

ok, that what I was doing first and I checked it again and it still doesn't work.

mount d /Volumes/ADELINE -t cdrom -usecd 0 -label ADELINE

Relentless still doesn't work. That is the label of the CD as it shows on my desktop...

UAKM does work now, however...

try adding -ioctl as well

I thought that was for Windows/Linux only.

Just create an .iso of the CD's and mount 'em.

I didn't think you could make an ISO of a mixed-mode CD.

Well I'm sure you could but you'd only get the Data. You could create a CUE/BIN image, not sure what program you would use to do that in OSX though.

Well, here is another issue. UAKM asks you to swap disks quite frequently. I swap the disk out and hit CTRL-F4 and it still doesn't detect the disk as being correct. I exit, remount the disk with the label DISK2 then I can start the game. Sort of. Because as soon as you hit New Game, it asks for Disk1 again and guess what? No go. Why doens't CTRL-F4 autoupdate the disk label based on what it detects from the CD itself?

If I remember correctly, the disk swapping works best with images. You mount them all onto the same drive-letter, something like this:

Z:\>mount D /path/to/image1 /path/to/image2 /path/to/image3 ,.......

and the CTRL-F4 will swap you through them.

If you want disc swapping, you definately should use imgmount. You need to give up all the images in the same imgmount line and then use CTRL F4 to swap between them. Dosbox doesn't give you a message though(it should in the console if you ask me).

are you sure?
LOG_MSG("Drive %c: disk %d of %d now active", 'A'+idrive, currentDisk+1, numDisks);
Think it worked for me with output.

Can anyone explain why this is NOT a problem with the Windows version? I don't seem to remember having to use the 'label' command even once with this same set of games. I am positive I never did with UAKM. Is there a way to set up the Mac version so it automatically labels the disk based on what OS X reads from the CD itself? I assume that is what is going on with Windows because it just works..

get a debugger and have a look?

Can any of the Mac devs chime in? God, I really don't want to have to use Vista... 😢

As far as I know, none of the developers has a Macintosh, so unless you want to donate one, I am afraid that you can expect to wait a long, long time.

If you don't have a debugger at hand but can compile
the sources you could add LOG_MSG calls to
cdromDrive::cdromDrive (drive_local.cpp)
CMscdex::GetVolumeName (dos_mscdex.cpp)
or some lower-level functions like ReadSectors
to see what label information they can get or
where/if it goes wrong.

I would LOVE to help but my knowledge of coding stopped about 10 years ago in high school when I was learning pascal so..

Anyone want to PM me and tell me how I can do this? I can't donate a Mac but I have the time and inclination to help..

You could try compiling the dosbox sources, that's be the main task to do.

I think I have solved the mystery why the volume label is not automatically set on Mac OS X:
CDROM_Interface_SDL::ReadSectors() (found in src/dos/cdrom.h) does nothing except returning "false".

Edit:
It looks like this due to a limitation of SDL, so beyond extending SDL, the only way of properly solving this would probably be writing an ioctl-based cdrom interface for Mac OS X.
