😵 I have version .72 dosbox, and I have the rare pleasure having a cdrom version of system shock. I know it works because I've gotten the install to put the files on my hard drive. The problem is I am getting an illegal error code

illegal command: : f:\cdrom\cdshock.exe

I did double check that both a cdrom drive mounted, and I HOPE HERE the place where the files I installed from the disk is also mounted.

mount d f:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0 -ioctl
mount c C:\games
It recognizes both spots because it give the directories for each, but I can't get it to load... 'newbie banging head into brink wall to make headache go away'

No, everything is _not_ set right.

First: wrong forum. This is a DOSBox question.

Second:

mount d f:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0 -ioctl

You are mounting your physical CD drive "f" as virtual drive "d" in DOSBox.

illegal command: : f:\cdrom\cdshock.exe

The batchfile that starts the game looks for the CD-ROM drive with the letter "f".

See the problem? The solution would be to reinstall SS, or to change "CYB.CFG" and "CDSHOCK.BAT" accordingly.
