Hello,
I have Rayman under the MDF/MDS extension but I can't run it with DOSBox.
I tried: imgmount d rayman.mdf -t iso
And here is what I get:
Drive D is mounted as C:/OLDGAMES\Rayman\RAYMAN.MDF
But I don't have a clue what to do after this :?
I can't figure out how to run a MDF file, if it's possible.
Thanks in advance!
tried typing d: ?
Read my 60 Seconds Guide to DOSBox, substituting your imgmount command (which looks fine!) for the mount command I used.
If that doesn't help, come back with details on how you mounted your C and D drives, how you did the install, how you configured sound, music etc.

DOSBox can't mount mdf/mds files (Alcohol images). You'll have to either use virtual drive software (Daemon Tools, Alcohol, etc.), or buy the original/use your original disc. The game works with DOSBox, according to the DOSBox website.
Thanks for your help. Does this mean I'll be able to run the game with DT or Alcohol?
By the way, I don't really appreciate being accused of using a pirated copy. I bought the game more than ten years ago and I created a MDF copy of it. Now, the CD doesn't work anymore and I'd really like to play Rayman again...
I'm not sure why dosbox would tell that it was correctly mounted,
at least for ISOs there should be some checks if the image is valid.
Anyways try something like alcohol, check that you can access the content
of the cdrom through the explorer, then use something like
mount d k:\ -t cdrom
if k: is your virtual cdrom drive.

I believe Daemon tools can mount MDF files, and it's probably the easiest. Also if you do get it mounted correctly (shows up in explorer) then you might want to use ISObuster (free) to create a proper ISOimage that will work with imgmount without the need for daemon tools.
About that image - as ADDiCT says if it has CD music then use bin/cue and mount the .cue file. Either way do this after you mount using daemon tools because that way you won't have to bother with the MDF file anymore.

Reads nice now 😀
Removed post from idiot saying he downloaded Rayman from a torrent.
