Hi, I have searched about bu not found an answer to this problem of mine.

I use OS X. I would like to run games from an external drive, like a USB drive and do not know how to mount these drives. I thought they might come under Volumes but that is before the User/username directory and I don't know how to get that high up.

Currently I type: "mount c ~/desktop/games"

But if I insert a USB called "USB" then what would I need to type to mount that?

Thanks

Just mount it in DOSBox by using the volume name and directory
For example if you have an external USB called Backup with a DOSGames dir you would use
mount c /Volumes/Backup/DOSGames in DOSBox

If you aren't sure of the Volume name, go to Terminal in Applications/Utilities, run it and type
cd /
cd Volumes
ls

that will show you the mounted drive names

Go to top of page Go to top of page
Back to DOSBox General
