Hi,
I have been testing some CD based games in Gentoo GNU/Linux and I've found out that some games, such as Little Big Adventure 1 and Warcraft II, makes DOSBox 0.65 crash with a 'segmentation fault' error while loading the game if the CD is mounted. They work fine if instead of mounting the CD I mount a CD image.
Another game, Alone in the dark 1, can't be installed because it doesn't recognize the CD (Insert disk number 1 😖), but it works fine if instead of mounting the CD I mount a CD image.
Once installed, the game freezes (black screen) at loading if I play with the CD image mounted. Playing with the CD works fine 😖
The major problem that confuses me, is that these games work fine in DOSBox 0.65 windows version 😲
Is it just me or this happens to someone else? I tried compiling both portage's version and the original source code.
EDIT:
Just tried Debian unstable in qEmu, apt-getted dosbox 0.65, and tried the same games.
Little Big Adventure and Warcraft II, instead of crashing DOSBox with a segmentation fault, the game cd's couldn't be recognized (CD not found).
Alone in the dark recognized the CD in the install process, but couldn't find it while trying to play the game.
