Hello all,
I'm running Dosbox 0.74 under OSX. I have the original Realms of Arkania CD but can't get the CD audio playing. I'm using the following config:

mount f /Volumes/970220_1739 -t cdrom -usecd 0 -ioctl -label 970220_1739

I notice on my MAC when I insert he CD its mounts two volumes.

AUDIO CD
970220_1739

Any ideas how to get it working? I guess you can't mount under dosbox both as the F: right?
Thanks,
Rob

make a bin/cue image of the CD Rom and imgmount that.

And next time, questions regarding Dosbox belong in the dosbox forum 😀

Yep just mount the CD with the correct parameters - it's all explained in the DOSBOX readme. It's -t or something if I remember.

Startrail was a great game, but I never finished it. Lost track of the plot at the dwarvern mines if I recall. Twice. Is the third game any good?

Iris, he mounts it correctly but since OSX itself mounts the CD weirdly he has no other choice than to make an image out of it.
