Hello.

I have successfully installed win 3.1 in DOSBox SVN-Daum and a game I want to play too.

Is there a way I can skip manually mounting c:\dos, cd to WINDOWS, WIN, mounting the ISO of the game etc?

Can I write a shell script to do this for me? I tried using save states but it didn't work.

Vanilla DOSBox can also run Windows 3.1 with no problems.

Just another user that likes old OSes and videogames, nothing interesting to see here...

Use the [autoexec] section of DOSBox.conf. This is discussed both in the readme and in the 60 Seconds Guide.

Don't use savestates unless you absolutely have to.

Why's that? Is it broken? I can't get it to work.

Also the game I'm playing (Daedalus Encounter) requires changing CD halfway through. Is there a way to do this? If I mount all three CDs at startup, the game doesn't launch.

The only work around I can think of is binds.

Edit: I tried doing "Mounting multiple images (ISO or CUE/BIN)

Z:\>IMGMOUNT E C:\Images\MyImage1.iso C:\Images\MyImage2.iso -t iso"

but I get an error about a movie file cant be opened

As has been mentioned, the latest version of the Daum build is indeed rather broken. But savestates in DOSBox are generally experimental – there are many, many more things to keep track of than in a typical game console emulator.

Z:\>IMGMOUNT E C:\Images\MyImage1.iso C:\Images\MyImage2.iso -t iso"

That is the correct syntax, yes.

However, you will notice that your error message refers to a file on drive D. Why are you using "IMGMOUNT E" instead of "IMGMOUNT D" ?
